Cheat Codes erased exiting PS4 command box

Question

Hey I know there are a lot of questions asked already about PS4 and cheat codes. I promise I've read most of them and none have helped. Here are the steps I've taken and the problem I have:

In Live Mode I hit all four (L1, L2, R1, R2) which opens the command box

I use testingCheats true which works and informs me I am turning on cheats

I then enter all the cheats I am trying to use (all for free build type things).

This is where I then get stuck. Everything says I should again hit all four (L1, L2, R1, R2) to exit but when I do that nothing happens. The only way I've been able to exit out of the command box is hitting the back button (o) but then none of the cheats I entered are activated. It's been really frustrating and I haven't seen any one answer this specific problem. If you know what I'm doing wrong or how to help please let me know!

Hi there&nbsp;@havesomemo,

To close the cheat box, you'd press the O button for PS4. Which cheats exactly are you trying to use that aren't working?&nbsp;

I've been trying to use bb.enablefreebuild, bb.moveobjects, and bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement

When I type them in they show up on the cheat box but then when I exit out nothing changes and the build limitations are still in place. It's possible I'm misunderstanding what those cheats allow if everything else has been done how it was supposed to.

After you enter each cheat, do you get a notification for each one that they've been activated?&nbsp;

@EA_Solaire&nbsp;Yes each cheat gets a response in the box saying it is turned on but then when I exit I am still limited to building in the pre-set lots

@havesomemo&nbsp;

Which lots are you trying to enable free build for? Are you entering this cheat in World View, or are you entering it in Live Mode while you're loaded into the lot you're trying to edit?&nbsp;
