The bb.moveobjects cheat in The Sims 4 removes placement limits in build mode. You can put furniture and items anywhere you want on your lot. It comes with the base game, so you do not need extra packs.
When you activate this command, objects can overlap other items or pass right through walls. You can also place things so they hang in the air. Type bb.moveobjects on into the cheat box to start.

This cheat runs in the game engine, not in the game's scripts. The game ships this help text for it: "MoveObjects cheat [<on/off>]. Allows objects to intersect other objects and architecture and/or float in midair" 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.

How to type bb.moveobjects and what happens
First, open the cheat console. Press Ctrl + Shift + C on PC, or press Cmd + Shift + C on Mac. On PlayStation and Xbox, hold down all four shoulder buttons at the same time.
Next, type bb.moveobjects on into the text box and press Enter. If you want to return to normal placement rules later, open the box again and type bb.moveobjects off.
Once you turn the cheat on, build mode lets you put items anywhere. You can push objects into each other or push them through walls. Items can also stay in the air without support.
When bb.moveobjects does not work and what to try
If the cheat does not work, check your spelling in the text box. You must include the period after the letters bb, and you cannot use any aliases. Also remember to add the word on at the end of the command.
Sometimes a cheat fails because you need to enable testing cheats first. Open the cheat console and type testingcheats true, then enter bb.moveobjects on again. In general, cheats go in Live mode.
Because bb.moveobjects is an engine cheat, the game's scripts do not mark its status on PC and Mac. On PlayStation and Xbox, the game also lists it as an engine cheat. Try testing it in Live mode with testingcheats true active.
