A recent patch caused the cheat console to block all game input when it is open. This is just a small mod to undo that until the next patch. SimGuruNick has already stated it wasn't intentional.
Note: If you downloaded the pre-release version, please re-download. This version includes a fix for the story-mode CAS being blank.
Instructions:

Some of you might have noticed the cheat console blocks game input in the newest patch. This reverts that because, well, it's annoying. 🤷♂️
Save the package file to your Mods folder. Enjoy :)

This update fixes a glitch with the travel and photography menus, and adds a classic version of the Moschino stuff pack icon.
BLACK SCREEN FIX:
If your menu has a black screen where the animatic should be, open your options.ini file and set the "animaticpack" value to 1000.

What is TOOL? Well, TOOL... Takes Objects Off Lot. It's a way to give players more real-estate for objects, and gives you 100% control over the objects position and rotation, on or off the lot.
TOOL is still in development, decided to rework some of the interface, and added new visuals for things like rotation.
I'm also splitting out the Move functionality to separate "Move" and "Elevate" options, so it's a bit less confusing to move an object.
Working to get it out soon :)
Don't like the new UI, or is it even causing migraines? No worries with this mod - get the original minimalist UI back with a single package download.
This version works in all languages and is compatible with UI Cheat Extensions.
I hope you all enjoy! Thank you for the support!
Edit: Woops, a conflict with UI Cheat Extensions worked its way back in, but it...
We hit my patreon goal the other night, so it's time to give away an Expansion Pack of winner's choice.
The winner is: Velvet!
I'll be messaging you to find out which pack you want :)
How was the drawing done?
I exported the complete list of patrons to a spreadsheet, and entered the numbered range (minus column headers) into

Better Exceptions v1.05 is now ready and live :) Starting shortly after this post, those of you with Better Exceptions already installed will receive an auto-update prompt in game the next time you launch.
Get that extra real-estate back! This mod unlocks basements and pools for coastal terrain (ocean lots)
Fair warning, this mod comes with a few quirks so it's mainly intended for builders. I'll patch out what I can in future updates.

Fairly small update to BE to help remove false positives toward WW scripts, and closed a loophole where some invalid tuning mods might be missed. This should improve BE's accuracy even further.
Also made sure that the tuning scanner only activates if invalid tuning was found, which will cut down on reporting times for those with older hard drives.
As always, you can either grab it...
Going to be short here as I have errands, will detail it more with the official release.
This is mainly for builders currently as it comes with some quirks, such as not being able to route using ocean ladders (working on it) and sims walking under water on the lot. Swim interactions still work fine outside of the lot boundaries. Pool floats should be placed from sims inventory to avoid f...

Exciting new update to share with everyone, a few of you may have already received a version of this but you'll still receive an update notice as I've made a few changes.
If you already have BE installed, you'll receive an update automatically when you start your game. You'll just need to restart the game for changes to take effect. Automatic updates will become available a few minutes a...
I'll begin rolling out an update for Better Exceptions to a small group momentarily. If you'd prefer to wait for the official release, you can click "Remind me later" for now. I will make a separate post with more details when the update is fully public.
If you experience any issues on the new version, please don't hesitate to let me know in Discord.
Thanks everyone.
The embargo is up and the rest of my cheats are up at TwistedMexi.com
Check them out under the appropriate Trait, Career, Buff, etc categories. You can filter the tables by the pack column.
Enjoy :)
Quick bugfix for the vampire issues, looks like someone accidentally removed some code from the vampire tuning.
I've added it back and packaged it for a quick bugfix mod. Keep in mind once EA fixes this, you should go ahead and remove the mod.

As always, I strive to be your first source for cheats. There will certainly be more when the pack drops but for now I've found two new cheats, one of which lets you trigger Volcanic Eruptions :)

So if we're being honest, patreon isn't that great for maintaining a collection of downloads. It's pretty hard to find older posts. For that reason, I've created a dedicated website for cheats and mods. I'm still adding some of the more obscure cheats currently but once I'm caught up, I've designed the site in a way that will let me add every new cheat almost immediately - and I mea...

So I've added a lot of new info to the report and in doing so, the simple text reports were getting more and more difficult to read. So I've swapped them to an HTML report, which lets me give you a cleaner interface and enables more advanced features like linking you to help resources.
The next version of BE will be able to tell you directly which tuning mods have issues, if any, so you'...
Is this a pre-release? No. I don't consider this a finished mod. I have more items planned but Better Exceptions turned into a bigger project than I had imagined, so I figured I'd let patrons get their hands on what I had in the meantime. I hope to have the finished pack...
2019-05-31 18:31:38 +0000 UTC View PostApparently my patreon started blowing up after the release of Better Exceptions. I didn't have access to my desktop for a few days but now I'm back at home and have some things to work on with BE. Excited to get back to work and thanks everyone for the continued support :D

2019-05-05 17:40:40 +0000 UTC View PostI have a new version of Better Exceptions available, I need to work with anyone who uses a Mac for TS4 so I can confirm compatibility.
If you have a Mac, please reply here and I'll send you test copies as necessary.
Thanks!
Apparently the Destroy Object command had gone missing, meaning a lot of bugs out there were suddenly more difficult or impossible to resolve.
Since this is important for a lot of outstanding issues, and a fairly simple fix, I'm releasing it publicly immediately.
This mod re-adds the interaction when you shift-click an object with testingcheats true.

In addition, clicking OK on the alert will provide you with a full report ...
