The Sims 4: How to Show Hidden Objects
Hidden objects are items, structures, and furniture that are not available in the game in some way. In most cases, these are objects from events that have previously occurred or simply objects that have been removed from the game. Accessing them is not difficult and takes only a few seconds, so let’s talk about it in more detail.
Gaining access to hidden objects involvesusing console commands, so first of all, you will need to enable cheats. Depending on thedevice you are playing on, there are different button combinations for this:
After doing this, all that remains is to enter the commands that will display the hidden objects. There are two in total, so if you want to unlock as many items as possible, enter them both:
After entering the command, press the Enter key on PC and Mac, the A button on Xbox, or the X button on PlayStation to apply it. It’s worth noting that you only need to enter the command once to show hidden objects, otherwise entering the same command a second time will simply disable it. So when you finally do enter the command, you will have access to the entire range of hidden objects.
To view them all, it is recommended to filter all objects in the game to display only the hidden ones. For this, when you are in the construction mode, interact with the input field and type Debug. After doing this, a drop-down menu will appear with many options with the same name Debug. Now, just click on any of these options, for example, the first one, and you will see a list of some of the hidden objects. If you don’t find the items you want in this list, you’re able to interact with the second option as well to open a completely different list of objects.
It is worth noting that you may also have only one Debug option. It depends on whetheryou have additional packs, DLC, and mods. The more of them you have, the more hidden objects you’ll have access to.
