bb.showliveeditobjects not working or showing up on XBOX?

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Unsure
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All the expansion packs, all the game packs and laundry day, vintage glamour, cool kitchen, luxury party and the two free packs.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open cheats console. Insert testing cheats, show hidden objects, live objects cheats. Open show all, nothing shows. Type debug in search, nothing happens.
What happens when the bug occurs? Nothing, that’s the problem.
What do you expect to see? The hidden objects such as cars, fences, etc.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

I can’t find the hidden items like the cars or fences anywhere and I’ve inserted the cheat properly. Am I not doing it right or is it just not on console yet? I thought it had been put on console.

    Consoles don't have that function yet only PC/Mac, we'll probly get it with the next patch (my guess when the moshino SP comes out on september 3).

    OK

    But we're supposed to have this cheat enabled now, and so much is missing on console.

    You can mostly find debug food items, and babies, but there's no landscaping, no cars, no fences, nothing I would consider world objects. 

    What the hell, EA??

    @CrazyStrangee  From the Patch Notes

    "You might have heard about a new cheat in Build mode which will unlock a new set of Unknown objects for use on your lots. Bring up the cheat menu and use the cheat bb.showliveeditobjects to enable the cheat. After putting in the cheat, open the Search panel in Build/Buy and press RT (Xbox One) / R2 (PlayStation 4) to apply a blank search. You should find the new Unknown items at the bottom of your Build/Buy categories. To disable the cheat, type bb.showliveeditobjects false. How many new objects are there? No one knows for sure but there are potentially hundreds of new decorative objects depending on what packs you have installed. These objects are environment objects, which our artists use when creating worlds. As such they are not optimized for on lot use, so please be aware when using this cheat. The most obvious issue you may notice is that Sims will walk through these objects. Most importantly, using this cheat will not disable your ability to earn Trophies or Achievements." - EA_Lanna

    Make sure you are following these steps to show the objects.

    I did, but I couldn't find half the things that pc has. 

    I'll have another look when I'm with my Ps4 again.

    @0dclareb0 I have tried everything and nothing will get this cheat to work. I've tried it in every screen and every variation of just the cheat/true/on after. I think an error message is popping up but it disappears before I can even see it fully come up.. just a quick flash of black.
    I also tried requesting a call from EA about this but that feature doesnt seem to work on their website. I'm EXTREAMLY frustrated with EA. The phone number they used to have is disconnected as well.
    What awful customer service and experience.

    Hi @barbaradawn92,

    PoptartJuniper's correct. The advice in here was relevant at the time but we've since had patches on console. Could you take a look at the thread PoptartJuniper has shared and join in there? I think the information and advice might be more relevant and up-to-date.

    I'll lock this thread here to help limit confusion over which to join for future readers.

    Thanks.
