The Sims 4: Enchanted by Natureis the latest expansion pack in the series, and will bring fairies and a magical element to plants and the outdoors inThe Sims 4. Early reviews forEnchanted by Natureare already out, and the reception to some features is surprising, while others are as expected, especially alongside the free base game update thatThe Sims 4developer Maxis released in anticipation ofEnchanted by Nature.
One of the biggest disappointments for Simmers is the very few landscaping objects in Build mode. As a nature-themed pack, plants and landscaping were expected to be one of themain features ofThe Sims 4:Enchanted by Nature. Instead, it has just two new outdoor plants for landscaping. This is a massive disappointment for many Simmers, but not all hope is lost. Like other content packs forThe Sims 4, many of the most useful objects are hidden in debug.
How to Use Debug in The Sims 4
Debug objects are all the objects that the developer uses to create and decorateThe Sims 4worlds. Objects such as decorative cars, community lot signs, and a plethora of trees, bushes, flowers, and outdoor decor are located in debug. While many plants and flowers found in Build and Buy mode are designed to be centerpieces,The Sims 4’s debugcrucially includes nondescript objects that go a long way in filling a space and making it feel more natural and alive.
Debug is a cheat, and can be accessed on PC in the following way:
As debug isn’t strictly intended to be used by players, using debug comes with a caveat: accessibility. The objects in debug aren’t named, don’t cost anything, and are in a completely random order. This can make it difficult to sort through, but many players find it to be worth it as it includes some of the best landscaping inThe Sims.
Enchanted by Nature’s Debug Saves It, But It Shouldn’t Need To
Debug is especially useful for an expansion pack likeEnchanted by Nature, which set an expectation for nature to play a big role in the pack. With just two new landscaping objects, players will be forced to rely on the base game landscaping, plus anyother items from otherThe Sims 4content packsto create a garden or community lot that emphasizes nature.
However,Enchanted by Nature’s debug includes a range ofSims 4landscaping objects, including rocks, stumps, different kinds of bushes, flowers, and trees. Rather than getting just two landscaping items,Enchanted by Nature’s debug gives Simmers access to over a dozen plants for their Sims' gardens.
The Case to Use The Sims 4’s Debug
Debug adds far more toThe Sims 4, and gives players so many more options when decorating their Sims' homes, gardens, and community lots. Some of the best builders inThe Sims 4community regularly use debug, and it’s a tool that Simmers shouldn’t shy away from as it’s easy to use once players get accustomed to it.
The Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature’s sparse landscapingofferings are particularly bad because of its nature theme, but it’s no different fromThe Sims 4’s other content packs. Prominent influencers inThe Sims 4space, like Lilsimsie, have pointed out the problems with hiding so many useful objects behindThe Sims 4’s debug. Many players don’t know that debug exists, and the objects hidden in it should just be tagged and found alongside every other item in Build and Buy mode.
