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.
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

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?

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.
Try these steps first to clear up any problems you may have when connecting to an EA game.
Troubleshoot and test your connectionReset, update, or link your account information.
