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:
Download the .package file to anywhere in your Mods folder.

Some of you might have noticed the cheat console blocks game input in the newest patch. This reverts that because, well, it's annoying. π€·ββοΈ
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.
New Features:
- Point & Click Move - Lets you mark an object as active, which lets you then shift-click where you want it to go and TOOL will immediately move the object to that position.

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's gone now. If your UI is missing in game, please re-download!

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.

A: That layer is currently missing when modded. Please use place from inv...

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 from below or just let the game auto-update for you at next launch.
Expect another update so...

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 frustration trying to get it on the water level.
In many cases you'll need to clear the lot be...

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 after this post goes live. Otherwise you can grab it manually at the bottom of this post.

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.

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.
I built this this morning, and found out Simvasion got a bugfix out as well. I figured I'd go ahead and post mine to help people find it, but...

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 :)
They're available on TwistedMexi.com
I've added pack options to the dropdown to make finding the new cheats easier.

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 mean every cheat.
In addition, I've added a feature that will tell you exactly which cheats require ...

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'll know exactly where to start when trying to fix your LastException.

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.

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.
