Re: Police Station Bug

@jpellowe Shift click in debug mode duplicates objects. Try using "[" (left square bracket) on the object in order to make them smaller in size. Correspondingly "]" (right square bracket) is for enlarging them. Aside from that, how did you get those jumbo cork boards to begin with? Did you modify them at any time?

    Thanks for the reply! I tried the [ strategy, but because we can't go into build mode in the work locations, I wasn't successful. 

    To answer the other question - I didn't do anything to get the first jumbo board. It just magically appeared the second time I ever visited the police station, and the second appeared when I tried to fix the first one with the debug option. 

    Do you have any other recommendations? Thank you! 

  • @jpellowe I was able to recreate your giant objects issue. Here is how to get rid of those.

    ① Go into debug mode by pressing ctrl + shift + c

    ② Type in "TestingCheats on" in order to enable debug mode

    ③ Move your Sim into a position where you can see both the giant cork board and your Sim (see DebugMode01.jpg)

    ④ Shift + click on your Sim and click on "Reset Object (Debug)" (see DebugMode02.jpg)

    ⑤ If this doesn't work, shift + click on the cork board and select "Set as Head" before executing above ④

    I am playing the Japanese version but you should have the same interactions available in your language.

    @19DebbieB62 Ok, then shift + click on a different object (on your lot) and click "Set as Head" which should replace the previous one.

    Edited: Never mind, ignore above as there seems to be a different issue with the "Set as Head" cheat.

    @19DebbieB62 I tried to reproduce your issue (see DebugMode03.jpg; does it look like this?) and found out that the "Reset Object (Debug)" option no longer works for giant objects that were placed on the ground before leaving your lot (i.e. by traveling to another lot or entering CAS). Was this the case? If so, I'd suggest you start a new thread in Bug Reports as there are currently no known "Set as Head" issues in association with leaving the lot or entering CAS.

    While doing so, I am afraid, you have no other choice at this point but to use mods like MCCC or the Tmex-AllCheats.ts4script (I'm not sure if I am allowed to leave a direct link, however you may find these just by googleing). After placing the mod files in your "mods" folder and enabling debug mode, shift + click on the giant mail box, select "Destroy Objects (Debug)" one by one. Make sure you have the latest update and/or all the fixes when downloading. It might be a good idea to keep a backup of your "saves", "Tray" and "Screenshots" folders before using mods, just to be on the safe side.

    Edited: It is pointed out that this is not a bug, so using mods might be the only way to go.

    @Japanic2012 The set as head method doesn't always work nor does the debug one. That's not a bug or new issue. It really depends on the object.

    Also the set as head is a pure unsupported fun cheat so I'll doubt they'll ever change anything about it.

    @DebbieB2020 If you are using TwistedMexi, put those 2 script files into your mods folder. You will find them on TwistedMexi's Homepage.

    Spoiler
    "DESTROY OBJECT CHEAT FIX" ➡ "Download" ➡ "Install" ➡ "Tmex-AllCheats.ts4script" and "tmex-ObjectDestroyFix.package"

    @19DebbieB62 I am not sure which mod you are referring to as TwistedMexi offers a variety of different ones, but this is what I am using:

    DESTROY OBJECT CHEAT FIX

    ① Place both "Tmex-AllCheats.ts4script" and "tmex-ObjectDestroyFix.package" into your "mods" folder (as seen in TmexAllCheats01.jpg)

    ② Go into the game and ctrl + shift + c

    ③ Enter "TestingCheats on"

    ④ Shift + click on the giant mail box (it should look like TmexAllCheats02.jpg)

    ⑤ Select "Destroy Object (Debug)"

    If above doesn't work, it would be helpful if you could share a screenshot of what you are seeing on screen.
