Are you sure you have bb.showliveeditobjects enabled?
With just bb.showhiddenobjects enabled I get this in the outdoor trees/plants/flowers/rocks category:
If I then enable bb.showliveeditobjects and load the entire Strangerville catalogue these plants, among others, show up in addition to the hidden debug objects above:
Could you do the same test and show screenshots of your results?
So I have done as you said, and it seems live edit isn't working when I put in the cheat. However, even with showhiddenobjects working, I am only getting Strangerville and no other pack (including base game)'s hidden objects.
EDIT: So, I AM getting liveedit, as well as other pack content, but it isn't showing up in the categories like they usually do. I can only access them in via going to Objects by Function and looking up debug. Still missing a lot, but it's more than what I was getting before. I am unsure why this is the case, but it does seem to be there. Just Strangerville seems to be the only one in "build" and "objects by room".
It is very likely I am being a little stupid, as I've never used live edit with out Better Build Buy, which could be why I'm confused. If that is the case, I am terribly sorry for the waste of time.
Finally got around to trying what you said and it seemed to have helped. There is so much more than before for debug and live edit. Still missing outdoor plants, but everything else is here. So huge improvement, thanks,
Is there a way I can get my saves back?
Forgot to reply, but everything is good now! I think the issue might had been a mix of BBB not working and issues with the files. But with the recent updated mod and your help, everything seems to be in order! Thank you so much! ^v^
I know this is an old post, but I experience a similar issue and it's a little disappointing. This isn't regarding custom content or mods. These are items from the actual game. I put in all the necessary cheats; 'bb.showhiddenobjects' and 'bb.showliveeditobjects'. All the cool hidden objects will show up in the catalogue in buy mode, I can place them down but some items I do place will NOT show up in Live Mode. Literally as soon as I click Live Mode, they just disappear. To be specific, I am referring to items from the Cottage Living pack. This pack has some really cool mushrooms and things that are just so pretty to add to your landscaping in build mode but like I said, when you then go into Live Mode, they're just gone. Again, it doesn't happen with all the objects. Just a few specifically. I really don't know why but all I can think of is, perhaps you can only have them show up in community lots and not residential lots. Actually, if I do remember correctly, I think they did appear on the community lots but not the residential lots. It sucks because they're just too cool to not have them on my sim's property. Sad.☹️
MeggleMonster If you're not finding items when you have no mods or CC installed (that includes full removal of Better BuildBuy, including a Game Repair), please head to Gameplay Issues.
