}}'''Moveobjects''' (sometimes known as '''MOO''', for "moveobjects on") is a cheat present in every base game that disables many of the normal restrictions on the movement, placement and deletion of objects (including [[Sim]]s). This allows players to move or delete Sims, move or delete fixed objects (e.g., the [[mailbox]]{{vgversion|TS}}{{vgversion|TS2}}) around a lot, move or delete objects that are currently in use by a Sim, place multiple objects on the same grid tile, or place objects in locations where they otherwise cannot be placed. In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', Moveobjects cannot be used to move Sims.
}}
'''<code>move_objects</code>'''{{Vgversion|TS}} or '''<code>moveObjects</code>'''{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TSS}}{{Vgversion|TS3}} 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''.

The cheat is not present in ''[[The Sims 4]]''. The developers said that there are technical difficulties with the cheat included in the game, and it might be fixed and added later in a patch.<ref>[http://simsvip.com/2014/08/04/the-sims-4-cheats-hot-keys-controls-list/ The Sims 4: Cheats, Hot Keys & Controls (List)] on SimsVIP.</ref>

Moveobjects

A Sim moved with moveObjects

Moveobjects (sometimes known as MOO, for "moveobjects on") is a cheat present in every base game that disables many of the normal restrictions on the movement, placement and deletion of objects (including Sims). This allows players to move or delete Sims, move or delete fixed objects (e.g., the mailbox[TS][TS2]) around a lot, move or delete objects that are currently in use by a Sim, place multiple objects on the same grid tile, or place objects in locations where they otherwise cannot be placed. In The Sims 4, Moveobjects cannot be used to move Sims.
