debug constantly showing up without cheats on

★★★ Newbie

Unmodded game, nearly every build/buy category is full of debug items without cheats on. unable to remove the debug/live edit objects by using cheats. for example, the fridge category is full of debug plates, meals, fruit, vegetables. the rubbish bin category is full of debug rubbish piles and bags, and broken objects. the various decor categories are full of live edit world objects

Hi @colimbae 

 

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

 

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

 

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

 

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

 

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Good Luck

@colimbae Does that also happen if you start a new game for testing purposes ?

Hi, I am having this same issue. I reset my game how the instructions said to and it's still happening. Debug items at the top of every category even though they are not enabled. I don't know what else to do.

Have you tried repairing the game and then restarting your computer?

@savpurkey Did it also happen before you put back anything on a new save ?

I was having this issue after removing Tmex - Better Build Buy from my mods folder, for some reason after removing it from your game files, it forces both debug and live objects to stay active at all times.

If you use this mod, it may be getting caused by that. To fix it repair your game files or reinstall the mod, the bug doesn't occur when it is in your files, only after it has been removed. 

Both of these fixes currently work for this precise issue.
