Raise & Lower Build Mode Cheat Not Working

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
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? 1.50.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and Dogs, City Living, Get to Work, Get Together, Seasons, Dine Out, Jungle Adventure, Outdoor Retreat, Parenthood, Spa Day, StrangerVille, Vampires
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The raising and lowering objects cheat no longer works.
What happens when the bug occurs? Nothing happens when I hit 0(or ctrl+0) and when I hit 9 the camera just zooms out fully and jiggles.
What do you expect to see? An object raising or lowering on a surface.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

As stated before the raising and lowering build mode cheat tool is no longer functioning. I have searched and searched and apparently others have has this issue being talked about on other sites but no answers on it. Some speculate the cheat was taken out but no confirmation at all can be found on this. The most recent thing I ever find is like July of last year.

  • The 9 key has two commands basically, one lets you save the camera position, the other is for move up/down.

    Seems you have a saved camera position now and you can remove that the following way (from the patch notes)


    Camera Positions saved to the “9” key could conflict with using the “9” key to raise an object in the air when the bb.moveobjects cheat is turned on. To resolve this, we’ve introduced the ability to clear out a previously saved camera position.
    • Existing Camera Position functionality:
      • “Ctrl” + “5-9” will set a saved camera position.
      • Once a camera position has been saved…
        • “5-9” keys will smoothly move the camera to that position.
        • “Shift” + “5-9” will immediately snap the camera to that position.
      • New Camera Position functionality:
        • “Alt” + “5-9” will remove a previously saved camera position from the selected number.

    I am so very sorry for not responding sooner. Some life emergencies happened and I have not really been able to do much. 
    It is working now, though, so thank you very much.

    When raising (number 9 key on top of keyboard) camera zooms out and reorientates. It does raise the object but makes it very difficult to see location. Lowering (0 key) works as expected. New game and several different lots tried. 

  • I am also having this same issue. I have made sure mods are turned off, and I have followed instructions to remove camera placement settings (alt +9). with no camera settings put in place pressing 9 or 0 does nothing. switching to sims 3 camera and trying (all the combinations) also does not work.

    Did you ever find a solution? I’m having this same problem and the above solution of alt+9 has done nothing. 

  • This is happening to me to but on ps4. I can't  raise objects/lower or I can't go to my second floor either.
