This will unlock previously inaccessible lots such as the hospital and university dorms. You can also use this cheat in Sixam and other hidden worlds such as the Sylvan Glade and Forgotten Grotto. The cheat will allow you to edit a small lot within the area, not the whole world, however. You can also edit the lot traits and names with this cheat, useful if you want to renovate the areas to match your playstyle.

Unfortunately, the cheat does not permit you to change windows or other lot-locked items in the San Myshuno apartments, such as historic plaques. You also cannot place objects out of bounds and out of the grid formation, you can, however, locate mods for these issues.

The Sims 4 Tool Mod will allow you to change the windows in apartments and place objects off the grid, for more information read about the Tool Mod here.
