debug constantly showing up without cheats on

Unmodded game, nearly every build/buy category is full of debug items without cheats on. unable to remove the debug/live edit objects by using cheats. for example, the fridge category is full of debug plates, meals, fruit, vegetables. the rubbish bin category is full of debug rubbish piles and bags, and broken objects. the various decor categories are full of live edit world objects

  • Hi @colimbae 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    Have you tried repairing the game and then restarting your computer?

  • Hi, I am having this same issue. I reset my game how the instructions said to and it's still happening. Debug items at the top of every category even though they are not enabled. I don't know what else to do.

  • Yeah, it's happening in all my saves, new and old. I made one today and it also had the same issue
