Thanks for sharing! I love seeing all of these. I'm always trying to do new things in build mode and use items creatively. Here's a few more of my build mode tricks.
When making a tiny house in Tiny Living, fenced in areas add to the tile count, so you have to get creative when blocking off areas if you don't want to add to the tile count. For this tiny home, I used some windows from the Jungle Adventure pack and used the move objects cheats to make a fence so that my porch would not count as extra tiles.
With the move objects cheat on, you can put windows on pools, so if you build a basement room, you can get a cool water view next to your pool. This is a bar/dance floor I built in one of my mansions.
So there's a ton of cool debug items you can find if you turn on the bb.showhiddenobjects cheat, but there are TONS more things you can find if you turn on the bb.showliveeditobjects cheat (it's all the stuff that you see on community lots but don't show up in build mode without the live edit objects cheats - the more packs you own, the more hidden stuff there will be!), and they can really add some cool variation to your game decor if you want some new items without buying new packs. Here are some items I discovered while sifting through the many, many items. The last one is an hanging garden wall I built using debug and live edit mode objects and meticulously resizing, moving, and raising and lowering objects.
