    Not sure if I've misunderstood you, but if you're in Manage Worlds when trying to cheat money it won't work. The Motherlode cheat will only work when you're in an active household. 

    Apologies if I've misunderstood the question!

    The only way to get around your issue is to go back to the map while in world management, select the family whose house you want to improve, press the more button or "..." button, select "Manage Household", and finally press the green plumbob button to mark the house as unplayed. This should allow you to enter free build mode, where it costs your house hold nothing to improve or change the house. Keep in mind that I do not play on console, in case you are a console player, so I don't know if what I typed above applies.
