I know the locks really annoy me too It feels like you only own part of the game at any given time.
I just remembered having a conversation with my sister about this (she plays Sims too). I told I asked one of the Guru's (Grant) and he said that he knew a lot of people wanted it and it was on his list. I told my sister "I bet you $100 that a modder will do it before EA even looks at it"!

Pretty sure they just bet on us doing it when it comes to stuff like that Still, I think they could have been bothered to include a "Sandbox mode"

Repeat of Sims 3.... "Let the modding community take care of it". Nothing more frustrating then trying to build and seeing all these neat items locked up!! I don't have time to play a sim through to "unlock" these items! Also, I wonder what happens when someone downloads a lot with these unlocked items and their sim does not have them "unlocked". Really EA, way to make it more frustrating!

Good question... an experiment for this evening I suppose

@TwistedMexican, I have the current lot that I am building where I am using some of these locked items. It's far from complete, but if you want to test to see what happens, I can put it on the gallery temporarily so you can download and we can see what happens?

Hmm I'm not sure, but I tested it sorta - Placed the house with unlocked items in my gallery and then started new game and placed house - Items was there - Placed sim into house - still there and after playing a bit - its still there and useable. I don't know what happens if I save and reload though.

Well that's interesting and looks promising that items will show when player uses a house off the gallery with these items.

I thought it may have some value as to your current inquiry, but as far as up and downloading such a lot, I'm not sure of the process and what happens - But its lovely that it works with homemade houses.

If I had to guess, this means lots with those items will keep them but you still can not add new objects unless you unlock them yourself.
So anyone want to download my lot from the gallery that has some of these unlocked items in it to see if they show up once it's downloaded? Some let me know, and I will upload it and then take it down as soon as it's in your game.
