move objects cheat (not downloaded mod!) not working properly?

[RainbowAra]

I was very happy when EA decided to implement the move objects cheat again because I love placing decorations EVERYWHERE so the houses I build actually look like someone's living in them

But I realised that the cheat isn't what it's used to be. I can playe the objects all over another but when I save, exit and restart the game, the objects that couldn't have been placed without the cheat simply vanish. 

For example: I got an table with a computer on it, a plant, some pictures and maybe a plushed toy or two, all placed with the cheat and alt, I exited the game and resumed playing the next day but when I started, the computer was gone also the plant and a picture leaving the table with 3 small decorations behind!

It's really annoying and I wanted to ask if someone else have this problem? Or maybe had his problem and solved it already? And if you solved it, how?

(I delete the cache files every week or something to prevent some other issues as the cache files where the source for bugs and issues in the Sims 2 )

(P.S.: I hope my English isn't that bad since I'm no native speaker :0)

One thing I will note however, is that MOO'd objects disappearing upon loading a save game is a common occurrence.  In order to prevent it, it is actually better if you not only save with bb.moveobjects turned on, but also make sure you turn it on before re-entering your saved lot.  For instance, what I do is to load my save, enter an unrelated lot, turn bb.moveobjects on, and then enter my saved lot.  Since following that routine, I have not lost any MOO'd objects.  I have never lost any terrain paint though, under any conditions.

Did you have the mod as well or never had that in ? It should still be there (only issue seems to be if you upload to the gallery). Any other mods that could be interfering ?

I had he mod in and the only other mods I am using are the same gender pregnancy and some costum traits and I don't think that these are interferring, but I'll try do take out the downloads and try if it's working,

thanks a lot! 

I tried it out several times now and it's working! :cathappy:

I can finally furnish my houses like I want to not like the game wants me too ;P

So say for instance if I built a lot using moo, then uploaded it to the gallery. If I place the house on another lot, how can I prevent my objects from being misplaced? I've tried what was said and it didn't work. Pls help!

While this is a rare occurrence these days @iatioussimming85, it still can happen, especially if the lot is a different size or orientation.  What type of objects are being misplaced?  Were they placed inside the house or outside?  Note that that objects placed outside are more subject to displacement, and if they are elevated in height, will drop back down to the ground when placed (an issue since the beginning).  If you place the build on the original lot you used to build it, do objects still get displaced?  Is your build in the Gallery, so that I could download it and take a look?

Well. I cannot solve this because when i enter bb.moveobjects on it says nothing and not working.

Did you put

testingcheatsenabled true 

and then 

bb.moveobjects on

?
