When HBO’s take on the celebrated comic book Watchmen premieres in October, it may not be what fans of the Alan Moore story are expecting. While it’s already known that the series is set after the events of the comic, executive producer and writer Damon Lindelof admitted at the TCA press tour that there might be some fans that don’t recognize the world on display.
“Whether or not the show feels like it’s Watchmen is in the eye of the beholder,” he said. Still, Lindelof made sure to note that the events of Watchmen’s 12-issues are canon in the story. “We re-explore the past, but it’s canon,” he explained. “One of the rules we had as storytellers and writers was that everything that happened in those 12 issues could not be messed with.”
So what is there to say about the world of HBO’s Watchmen without spoiling? While most plot details remain under wraps, Lindelof said the show is set in 2019, in a world that’s a mix of actual and alternate history. In the series, people don’t have the internet and smartphones were banned by President Robert Redford–yes, the actor.
It was teased in the comics that Redford could potentially run for president in the future, and in the show, it’s something that actually happened. “Robert Redford is the president of the United States and has been since the early ’90s when they abolished term limits,” Lindelof teased.
The central conflict, based on what Lindelof had to say, seems to be between police and what looks to be a white supremacist group that has appropriated the words and mask of Rorschach, using them to rise up against the government. It’s not immediately clear who the villains or heroes are, which is intentional.
“If you’re asking are the police presented in a heroic light, are they the heroes of the story, after just seeing the first episode, I’d say the answer is no,” Lindelof said.
Ultimately, whether or not this continuation of the Watchmen story lines up with what fans expect from this universe, it’s coming from someone who treasures the comics. “All I can say is I love the source material,” he promised.
This page contains a list of The Sims 4cheats, Easter eggs, tips, and other secrets. The following list of Sims 4Cheats are designed specifically for PC and will NOT work on any other platform. If you’ve discovered cheats for The Sims 4 that you’d like to add to the page, or have a correction, please click EDIT and add it.
If you already know how to open The Sims 4Cheat Console (see the paragraph below if you don’t), use these links to quickly jump to each of The Sims 4cheats sections:
On PlayStation 4, hold all four shoulder buttons at once.
On Xbox One, hold all four shoulder buttons at once.
Once opened, the cheat console will appear as a thin box at the top of the screen. Into that, you can type any of the cheats below or on other pages. To close the cheat console, simply press the same keys or buttons.
Additionally, some cheats require shift-clicking Sims or objects on the PC or Mac. To execute a shift-click on consoles, hold Circle and press X (on PlayStation 4) or hold B and press A (on Xbox One).
After the large Sims 4 redesign patch in 2019 and with TestingCheats enabled, enter both of the following codes to unlock debug items:
bb.showhiddenobjects
bb.showliveeditobjects
Note that when the codes are entered, there will be no indication they worked in the cheat console. You can copy-and-paste to make sure they are entered exactly as needed.
With both codes entered, you can search Build Mode for “DEBUG” in the bottom-left corner. Don’t be surprised of a list of “DEBUG” entries appear directly above it on subsequent searches as seen below.
The search will show you a list of almost every object in the game that is ordinarily blocked off from the player. This mainly includes decorative objects usually reserved for public lots, such as non-driveable cars or entire background houses. None of these decorative objects actually work; the cars cannot be interacted with and the house props cannot be entered.
There are some workable objects in the list however. For example, you can find and place a sign that marks a fishing spot wherever you wish, including on your property as seen below.
Most of the debug objects are free to place. Some, such as public toilets or other useable objects generally found on public lots, may cost simoleons to place. However, if you’re using cheats to access the debug menu anyway, you may as well enter this classic cheat several times:
motherlode
That will add in §50,000 each time you use it, and even a single instance will generally get you enough money to place down and debug objects you may wish to use. While their functions are limited, the decorative objects can allow you to build a lot exactly how you wish.
Much of this entry had information came from a video by a YouTuber named James Turner. You can view his channel called The Sim Supply with that link.
With testingcheats true enabled, you can enter the following codes from the console for the corresponding effects in Build Mode.
[ and ] – The left bracket enlarges an item and the right bracket shrinks it
9 and 0 – You can raise and lower objects using the 9 or 0 keys
bb.moveobjects on/off – You can merge objects together and place them wherever you wish
bb.showhiddenobjects – Items that normally must be found or dug up are now visible
bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement – All build items you would typically have to earn are unlocked

The MoveObjects (or Move_Objects) cheat is a classic from the Sims franchise, and it returns in The Sims 4. To activate it, you must first open the cheat console. Into the box, type the following line including punctuation:
bb.moveobjects
The coding serves as a toggle, so if you need to turn it off, simply re-enter the code. You can close the cheat console by pressing the same combination of keys or buttons as you did to open it.
MoveObjects used to be used in the Sims franchise to shift household objects when Sims were stuck. The cheat is no longer necessary for this; even without cheats or mods, you can move objects at any time even if a Sim is interacting with them, and the Sim will terminate their actions and reset themselves to a nearby tile.
However, MoveObjects in Sims 4 has additional features. With the cheat enabled, objects can be moved vertically or onto surfaces they should not be able to be placed. You can place tables onto beds, or toilets onto pools! Note that when used this way, Sims often cannot use the object in question; they wouldn’t be able to physically reach it to trigger the object’s animation scripts. The cheat can be used instead to design houses in unique ways.

2017’s Batman: White Knight stood out for two reasons. One, it’s an eight-issue miniseries drawn by the amazingly talented Sean Gordon Murphy. Two, it featured a simple, effective elevator pitch – what if the Joker turned sane and Batman became the villain? Murphy’s sequel, Curse of the White Knight, might not benefit from a similarly strong hook, but it doesn’t really need one. This series offers fans of the original a deeper and more complex dive into this standalone Batman universe.Following the events of White Knight, Jack Napier has again devolved into Joker, and the Clown Prince of Crime is hellbent on undoing all the good his later ego accomplished for Gotham. To do so, he’ll join forces with Azrael to expose a terrible secret from the Wayne family’s past.
While this first issue doesn’t offer a great sense of how Azrael is meant to fit into that larger tapestry, the series does make one significant improvement over its predecessor right out of the gate. Batman himself comes across as a more nuanced and sympathetic figure. In White Knight, Batman was largely treated as a supporting player until the climax, with Murphy depicting him as an antisocial loner who probably deserved to be treated as a lawless vigilante rather than a hero. This time around, Murphy places the emphasis firmly on Bruce Wayne and his struggle to deal with the death of Alfred and his own failures. There’s a humanity to the character that was mostly lacking the first time around.
Murphy’s Joker-related gambles also continue to pay off. White Knight and Curse of the White Knight prove that there’s nothing inherently wrong with giving Joker a name and a clear origin story, so long as those elements are used for a specific purpose and in a self-contained universe. If White Knight was about Jack Napier struggling to atone for his crimes as Joker, Curse of the White Knight is about Joker trying to reclaim the fearsome reputation Napier systematically ruined. If Joker is often depicted as an inhuman force for chaos, this Joker has clearer, more understandable motivations.
As well as the plot of this sequel is shaping up, the art remains the driving force of the White Knight universe. Murphy delivers a gorgeous take on Gotham and its costumed inhabitants. Like its predecessor, Curse of the White Knight wears its influences on its sleeve. Murphy is clearly a huge fan of Batman: The Animated Series and the 1989 movie, inspirations which are reflected in the character designs and vehicles. Even moments like Joker stabbing an adversary in the neck directly call back to those classic Batman tales.
A Visual History of Batman
But however much Murphy draws from the past in his work, he also creates a vision of Gotham that’s distinctly his. The gritty textures and the detailed cityscapes help Gotham come alive. Murphy depicts both Batman and his city as coming apart at the seams. Matt Hollingsworth’s muted colors help set the mood without overpowering Murphy’s heavy lines. The one key exception being in Azrael’s debut scene, as Hollingsworth takes center stage to depict this vigilante’s fiery rise to power.
