Oh no! Debug is gone!

Did the bb.showhiddenobjects, went into the right side and clicked content, but debug no longer shows up!  Typing debug in the left side search also did not bring it up.  Sad!  Now how to get fishing ponds and signs?

Gonna ask a crazy question, did you turn on cheats? testingcheats true

[Joria]

Yep, and not so crazy.  Easy enough to forget.

Hi @Joria, if you turn showhiddenobjects on, use the objects by function sort and then search for fish and pick the one that has no catagory with it in the list, you will find both fishing holes and signs.

I've tested and had both working in game.

I finally got around to trying this.  There is no function sort now.  There are only styles, content, colors and packs.  I tried "showhiddenobjects", "showhiddenobjects on" and "bb.showhiddenobjects".  The second one gives a fail message but the other two do show the hidden objects.  I'd say it's broken now so can't find the cool things we used to.

I jumped into game to see if I could figure out what's happening. I think I was able to get it to work. Here's the steps I took:

1. Get into game, go to Live Mode, press pause and make sure testingcheats are on [Press Ctrl-Shift-C together and type in testingcheats on]

2. Type or copy in the cheat: bb.showhiddenobjects true - hit Esc to get out of the cheat console.

** Note: bb.showhiddenobjects on, may give a failed message, so try bb.showhiddenobjects true instead. If it doesn't say failed, go to next step.

3. Enter Build/Buy mode and in the search bar type debug -- After that, all "hidden" objects should be available to use.

-- Search by Base Game. Fishing signs and ponds should be near the bottom of the list.

This is what debug showed when I typed in debug. Click thumbnail to see larger view.

Mrs.Flynn you are a genius!  Thank you!

Another tip: if the word 'debug' doesn't bring up the items you're looking for try 'apple' in the search bar instead.
