Re: Cheats not working (and won't let me turn off freebuildmode)- tried everything!

@eileenreads

Yes, you may have a corrupted save as the cheats work in a new save and clean game. You could try restoring a previous backup but if the backups are also affected there isn't much you can do https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/save-games/

Hoping someone else may be able to help with the free build mode issue, it's not a cheat I use.
