Not all debug items showing

Hi, I have a question, recently I formatted my computer and since my sims folder was on a drive other then system drive. (I have SSD drive on which I have windows installed and other HDD drive on which I save all my games) I didn't need to reinstall sims. But obviously some folder is always created on your system drive, like in Program Files or something, I'm not sure where. And I don't have it there, I was also looking for Maxis or Electronic Arts folder in register (regedit) and there is none, but my game still works fine. Almost perfectly fine, the issue is that I don't have all the debug items. I'm typing testing cheats, bb.showliveeditobjects, bb.showhiddenobjects, bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement and only get few of debug items, like cups, some plants that You can grow etc. but I don't get cars, rocks, waterfall really most of the items I used to have when I searched "debug". I searched the internet and I found few solutions such as searching for unknown, remote and picking remoteTv GP09GEN01 set1 or not typing anything and just hiting the enter button, that doesn't help either. When I picked my old build filled with debug items (rocks, plants, waterfall) and put it on a lot items are there. Whats more weird, I downloaded a "better build buy" mod and since it gives every item an individual name I was able to copy debug items, and I can place them, but they still doesn't show in my build mode. So it's as if they were somewhere but my game doesn't see them? I also tried repairing game with origin, that didn't help. I was thinking about downloading debug folder from the internet and putting it manually in my files but first of all I can't find debug folder to download anywhere (only mods that unlock more debug items, but they are flagged as CC and I don't want that), and secondly I don't really now where this folder is supposed to be. And if someone is wondering, when I disable my mods, I also don't have this items. I really don't want to download whole game again since I have a lot of EP etc. and it would took hours. So maybe someone knows what I can do about it? I really want to leave reinstalling whole game as a last resort.

And I hope I explained it well but english is not my native language so if something is not clear just ask me and I will try to explain it a little better. 🙌

Sounds like you're not correctly accessing the world objects using bb.showliveeditobjects:

So, I forgot to mute it so ignore my friends talking in the background 😃 but as you can see in this video I did it exactly as You shown and i still don't have all the objects, for instance rocks that You picked yourself 😞

Move your Mods folder to the desktop, trash the localthumbcache.package file and the resource.cfg file then load the game and try again.

Soo, I did that and it didn't help, your way I still get the same result, and when i type "debug" in search bar I just have those 4 Xs (you can see it on a photo)
I don't have any mods in my game currently so it's not the issue. I think I need to reinstall unfortunatelly ☹️

I am having the same issue! When I use the debug cheat I only get food items and some hidden objects- but none of the bridges/rocks/waterfalls. I downloaded build better buy and they still won’t show up in my catalogue. Did you ever find a fix for the issue?

the same thing has happened to me since ea released the liveeditobjects cheat. the only thing that ever works for me is starting a build without the mods enabled,placing the debug items and then enabling the mods and logging out then logging back in to retrieve cc. i hope someone finds a solution, because that's a very tedious way to build and i play primarily to build.

before anyone says i am not using the liveeditobjects cheat properly and that is why they don't appear, the cheat works just fine and dandy with the mods disabled and stops working with the mods enabled. i have played like that for a long long time.

Works without Mods but then doesn’t with Mods?

Solution - Update the Mod(s) responsible so you have the correct version installed that is compatible with the patch level of the game or remove it until the creator has updated it.

me too. My debug will not show up. SOME objects do, but not all of them- none of the debug plants or rocks show up. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, played with mods, without mods, done a folder refresh, started a new game, went back to old games. nothing is working to fix it. sometimes it will work ONCE, and then I'll boot up the game without changing anything else and the issue happens again.
I really sincerely do not know what is going on. I've tried everything, even uninstalling and reinstalling the EA app. nothing. The ea app doesn't offer me a repair option either. and yes, i am typing the cheats in correctly: testingcheats true (which returns the 'cheats on' dialogue), and then bb.showliveeditobjects, and bb.showhiddenobjects. nothing. i completely followed the DIY Troubleshooting Library by needcoffe4that, and the issue is still happening.

I’m really glad I’m not the only one having this issue. I was starting to think I was crazy because everyone claims is works and all the “clearly you’re just typing things wrong” responses were actually starting to actually make me mad
