MOO CHEAT
The Move Objects Cheat allows players to create unique objects by combining two or more items. For example, a player can combine a bed and curtains to create a canopy bed. You can use the cheat with any object.
To activate the cheat:
1. Type Ctrl-Shift-C to bring up the game’s console.
2. Enter “testingcheats true”
3. Enter “bb.moveobjects”
4. Enter “Ctrl-Shift-C” to close the dialog box
5. To turn off the cheat, repeat steps 1-4.
· Note, once the cheat is off, you can’t move the affected objects. If you do, the “moveobject” ability will be lost.
In addition, while holding the object, you can use the “0” key to move an object down, and the “9” key to move the object up. The object doesn’t have to be against a wall
