Have you grown frustrated with not being able to move objects just where you want them? Or perhaps you’re tired of being unable to fit everything onto a shelf. Using the Sims 4 Move Objects cheat is a simple solution to this dilemma that seasoned Simmers love using.
The great thing is that you don’t have to feel guilty about using the cheat. Testing Cheats are still switched off, and your achievements will remain active.
The development team has stated that they encourage players to use cheats and mods to enhance their gameplay. And while you may still have to pay for expansion packs, the base game is now free. So a whole new audience of players is ready to create new stories.
What Is the Move Objects Cheat in the Sims 4?
The Move Objects cheat is used to move objects off-grid in build/buy mode. With the cheat enabled, objects will no longer snap to the grid layout and can be placed within or onto other objects. So, for example, you can place objects on each other and move them up and down.
Originally used to fix bugs or stuck Sims, the Move Objects cheat is used universally between players and builders. In earlier versions of the Sims, players couldn’t move objects that Sims were interacting with. However, in Sims 4, if you move an object, your Sim cancels the action and resets.
Just a quick warning. If the object is moved off the grid and placed incorrectly, your Sim will no longer be able to use the object. So while the cheat is perfect for decoration, it’s not functional sometimes.
How to Use the Sims 4 Move Object Cheat
To use the cheat, you first need to open the cheat bar. Hold CTRL, Shift, and then press C to do that on PC. If you’re playing on a different platform, follow these steps:
- For Mac, hold Command, Shift, then press C
- For Playstation and Xbox, hold all four shoulder buttons
Once the cheat menu is open, you can type the following into the bar:
bb.moveobjects
The cheat is active, and you can close the cheat bar by pressing the same keys/buttons. To toggle the cheat off, enter the cheat again.
Now, while in build/buy mode, you’ll notice that objects no longer snap to the grid and can be placed anywhere you please.
