The Sims 4 free build cheat lets you bypass The Sims 4's strict grid system when it comes to building and placing items on your map. Simply, it allows you to place anything, anywhere in any neighborhood, and essentially gives you unobstructed planning permissions. It's just one of the great Sims 4 cheats available.
While the grid keeps everything organized, item collisions sometimes mean you can't place a door in a certain area or have your homes as realistically cluttered as you might want to see them. Terrible terrain? Not a problem. Want to build a densely-packed cityscape? You got it. And, if you want to fill it with new items, don't forget the Sims 4 debug cheat gives you access to hidden ones. Here's how to use the Sims 4 free build cheat to reshape the town entirely.
