Sims 4 cheats aren't working

Hi there, @Eddie_Serrato. I'm not sure how you got this cheat to work without enabling cheats! You have to enable them to use a cheat properly. That's probably why it won't work for you. 

To use the bb.showhiddenobjects cheat, you have to be in live mode, enable cheats, then enter it into the bar. I'm sorry if this isn't what you meant you were having trouble with, but I hope it will work for you.
