Unzip and there's a .ts4script file inside. That needs to go straight into your Mods folder.

I assume this mod applies to all venues? If I build on a residential lot with this mod, the price for any Sim I place will be "0"? If I then add to the lot after placing the Sim (pool, trees, et al), does its value still stay at "0"? What happens with my current residential lots now standing with a value? and if they're occupied and added to ? I'm attracted to this mod because the occupational rewards requirements are lifted but I'm wondering about other "complications". I build much more than I play but I still mess around with the Sims some lol I'm trying to decide if this is better/easier than bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement ?

Real-estate value is unaffected, so it would still cost you money to move in a sim. What the cheat does is give you a blank check, letting you place objects at no cost but they still retain their value. The more objects you have on a lot, the more expensive it will be to move in.

Thank you for taking the time to respond...not all do :-) If you really don't mind...another "always" mod would be more than welcome as in "always unlocked rewards". lol Am I pushing my luck? Take care and thank you again.

Love this mod and the freedom it offers But I've encountered a problem; my sims household inventory is now permanently disabled unless I uninstall the mod. It's a bit of a downer because I like to store all my collections in there. Any chance of a workaround?

Hi Linkala, unfortunately this seems to be hardcoded. So this mod is mostly useful for those who use the sims as a building game rather than a simulation. Sorry

You can always enter the cheat manually, bb.enablefreebuild whenever you want to use it.

Hi, thanks for the great mod, but for some reason it's not working for me. i extracted the script file and placed it in the mods folder, yet when i build it shows dollars being extracted and objects are still locked, help would be appreciated thanks.

There's a checkbox for script mods in Gameplay Options -> Other make sure it's checked and that the Always Freebuild mod shows up in the popup when you start the game.

I am curious if this mod will work nicely with a feature in deaderpool's MCCC which does something similar? I am interested in using this mod for fixing the 3 career lots if I spot an issue during gameplay.

I THINK the reason why the Sims' inventory panels are disabled is if the Sim is sent to work on a career lot, and anything they have in their inventories might be temporarily disabled. Same thing for Sims sent to venue lots or parks. But correct me if I am wrong because I was always under the assumption that the Sims' inventories cannot be accessed from a lot that is not their home or from a lot they run a business on. That's assuming this is something EA copied from Sims 2 and 3.
