Cheats enable then disable

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? 1.15.2.2300
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cool kitchen stuff, luxury party stuff, perfect patio stuff, vintage glamor stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? enable cheats, type "testingcheats" or enter a cheat, it either says "cheats are disabled" or the cheat you entered won't work
What happens when the bug occurs? I enable cheats then they automatically disable
What do you expect to see? The cheats not disabling themselves
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? No

This has been happening for a while now, at least 3 weeks. I don't know if ts4 did this purposefully or not but it's really annoying me. I've tried everything that's come to mind, uninstalling the game, going into different areas of the world, going into different worlds, enabling cheats; disabling them and then enabling them again, going into different saves, etc, but it doesn't work. What's happening is when I go into the cheat box I enable the cheats with no problem, I enter a cheat, nothing happens, I enter "testingcheats" and it says they're disabled (yes I spell checked multiple times). Any advice please?

  • @cottonmouth81982 You need to type testingcheats on or testingcheats true

    off seems to be the default state if you put nothing. So it basically informs you that testingcheats is now off.

  • @crinrict Thank you for replying,

    I've been entering testingcheats true/on to start the cheats as usual but the cheats don't work. As soon as I enter testingcheats true it immediately deactivates testingcheats and I have no idea why.

    @cottonmouth81982 Hm, strange. I'm not really sure how it works on console but I would think it's the same thing.

    I assume you tried both on and true ?

    Don't know if there's any issue with console. Hopefully someone here has some further ideas.
  • @crinrict  yep, tried both. Maybe it's the console? It hasn't happened with other games though. I guess I don't really have a choice but to play without cheats, I haven't been able to find anything out about the bug or even seen someone else having the same problem as me, so I'm kinda stuck with it now ☹️
