Are debug items safe?

they are mostly safe. some are a bit iffy, but mostly because sims will clean them up (various dishes, glasses and such). occasionally, one will be in a state where it can't be deleted no matter what, but those happen few and far between (and seemingly at random). the baby is a good example of this. don't use the baby

i use a lot of them in certain households. like one of my alien families has a display case with a probe, the other probe aliens tease sims with as a mischief interaction, a few remotes and some other alien-looking tech. and most of my alien builds have at least one ufo hanging out somewhere, often parked in a basement garage with a faux gate for it to enter/exit through

also, be careful with some of the books. the ones that are placeholders for books sims write are kind of wonky. some won't be able to be shelved, others won't be able to be read. i used to just toss every book out in a library then let the librarian and my neat sim put things away, when they were done, delete the ones they didn't shelve

as for how to find them, the cheat is bb.showhiddenobjects, and even then not everything shows up in it. you'll then want to search for 'debug', which then populates the items listed under debug (most of which are actually just called 'debug'). this will reveal all the collectibles, some random build objects we don't normally see (including a few premade plant combos from jungle adventure, which are nice to use), items used to spawn messes toddlers/children make, food that's in the middle of being cooked and more. including the fishing signs)

there is at least one place to fish in newcrest, btw. the upper left neighborhood has two or three fishing spots in its upper right corner, above the 40x30 lot. grim loves to fish there in my game for some reason
