Depending on how many packs you own, the Build and Buy mode in The Sims 4 is a treasure trove of items to decorate your lots and create intricately detailed homes. But if you’re not happy with what’s on offer by default, there are ways to get more items. There are thousands of items filling out the Build and Buy catalogue in The Sims 4, but there’s always room for more options, especially when it comes to clutter. Thankfully, the debug menu and live edit objects are there to help, but you’ll need to know how to access them before you can use them.
