Moveobjects

$$   or   is a cheat favored by cheaters, decorators and glitch fixers alike. Instead of being placed in usual places, furniture and other objects (including Sims) can be placed in areas where they normally wouldn't be able to go — through a wall, in the street, etc. It is also possible to delete objects which normally can't be deleted, such as objects which are seen as being in use.

This cheat has been mentioned in the readme of The Sims 2, The Sims Stories and The Sims 3.

In a Legacy Challenge, this cheat is allowed to fix glitchy objects and NPCs and interior decorating.

Hazards

 * It is possible to delete things which should not be deleted, such as the mailbox, the trash can, the carpool, and various portals. This could be a particular hazard in The Sims, as Buy Mode in that game did not have an Undo option.
 * In The Sims, overusing move_objects, or leaving it enabled for extended periods, has been known to cause problems such as game corruption.
 * Don't use in The Sims 3 to put Sim on pedestal; it will cause Sims to be moved off town grid (impossible to reverse).
 * Also for Sims 3, if you delete a chair with a sim on it, the Sim will freeze (will unfreeze on game restart).

Player tips

 * This cheat is best used to remove stuck objects or Sims who can't get out of their chairs.
 * In The Sims 2, Sims can be deleted using this cheat if they are bugged or corrupted and will return to the mailbox when the lot is reloaded, fixing any glitches that cannot be fixed by moving Sims, such as corrupted pregnancies. This was disabled in The Sims 3.
