The Sims 4 has become highly popular thanks to its engaging blend of sandbox and life simulator gameplay. Players have utilized the game for various purposes, like university design projects, but not everyone is aware of the hidden objects one can access in the game. In this section, we discuss how to unlock a vast catalog of hidden items, furniture, and structures in The Sims 4.
To access these hidden objects, players must first enable cheats using specific button combinations depending on their platform:
- PC: Hold Ctrl + Shift, then press C.
- Mac: Hold Command + Shift, then press C.
- PlayStation: Hold L1, L2, R1, and R2 simultaneously.
- Xbox: Hold LB, LT, RB, and RT simultaneously.
After enabling cheats, players need to input two specific commands to show hidden objects:
- bb.showhiddenobjects
- bb.showliveeditobjects
Upon entering the commands, press Enter (for PC and Mac) or either A or X (for Xbox or PlayStation, respectively). Remember that entering the command a second time will disable it. Once done, players can now access the entire collection of hidden objects.
To locate these objects, it is best to filter only the hidden ones by following these steps in the build mode:
- Interact with the input field and type Debug.
- A drop-down menu with multiple Debug options will appear. Click one to see a list of some hidden objects. If necessary, interact with the other Debug options to view different lists of hidden items.
Keep in mind that the number of Debug options may vary depending on the player’s additional packs, DLC, and mods, which also affect the range of available hidden objects.
The Sims 4, released on September 2, 2014, is a social simulation game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. It is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One platforms.
