This cheat runs in the game engine, not in the game's scripts. The game ships this help text for it: "Allows placement of objects that are gameplay-locked (eg: Career rewards)" The game files keep only a hash of the typed name, so the name itself is the one players have long used, not one read from the files.
We haven't typed this one in our check of November 7, 2026: the line and what it does are from the game files, version 1.128.90.1030.

Cheat guides
Unlock everything in the catalog
This cheat covers the objects a Sim has to earn, like the rewards of a career level. The catalog also hides some objects on purpose: type bb.showhiddenobjects for those, and bb.showliveeditobjects for the world pieces, like large rocks and props.
With all three on, type debug in the catalog search to find most of the extra items at once.
What it doesn't unlock
It doesn't add content from packs you don't own. An object from a pack you haven't installed stays out of the catalog with any cheat.
