I cannot for the life of me find where there volcano and Island terrain stuff is in debug. I found it all once before, but can't remember where I found it.
I'm in cheats and debug at the moment, but where do I go from here?
Any help would be much appreciated.

What happened yesterday was I downloaded someones beach from the gallery, and there was little tumbled down/quirky sort of bridge. I clicked on it to see if it would tell me were to find it as it usually gives the name etc in the lower right corner, and it just said debug, but I just can't seem to find those kind of objects in my debug, I get all the other decorations and that, but no bridges or terrain things.
I've just found another beach which says it's all made from debug objects, so I might get some luck from there.
This is so frustrating, I've now found another one with a rock archway!
testingcheats true (or on instead of true if that works better for you)
Push the enter button and type:
bb.showhiddenobjects
Push the enter button and type:
bb.showliveeditobjects
Push the enter button. Close the cheat box by pushing the escape (Esc) key.
In the search box on the left, type:
Debug
Push the search button.
Alternately, choose the first *Debug search string that shows up after typing in the word Debug in the search box. OR hit the search button with an empty search box to refresh the list.
All the hidden objects including the environmental ones should now be available. You should also be able to search for just the Island Living objects by choosing it from the drop down list on the right.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: Also, try not searching for just Island Living debug stuff. If the quirky bridge is the one I'm thinking about, it's not from Island Living, it's from Get Together or might even be from Cats & Dogs. I'd first try just doing a general search as described above, then try an Island Living pack filter.
Do you have a photo of the bridge you're looking for? That might help narrow it down.
Also, one of the lots I downloaded had a mysterious tree, no idea where to find that. So I'm still missing something.
EDIT - I found the mysterious tree. But not the palm tree with lights wrapped around it.
Most rock formations can be found near the bottom of the list if your have the debug cheat codes enabled. I haven't found an entire volcano though.
Yup, that's the one! Thank you, It must be there and I missed it.
Surely I couldn't have missed that, I looked through all that, but obviously I did. At least that proves they are there, thanks once again.
Maybe I "thought" I'd seen the volcano before - it's possible
I only get the debug objects down to the three public toilets at the bottom. Nothing after that are showing like before. I know I was only getting these earlier and then suddenly everything appeared.
I can't post a picture as I used to use Tinypic and doesn't exist anymore, and all the new image hostings seem to have codes that won't work here. I did try imgur, and that didn't work. Don't know if I need to create an account first. They seem to have made things less easy.
Thankfully I build my lot so all's good, but frustrating to know I can't easily get all the debug environment objects when I want to refurbish.
Then when the image has finished uploading, open the drop down menu and select 'get share links'. You get a new interface pop up. Copy/paste the BBCode (Forums) from there onto a comment you want to post here and your image will appear when you preview your post and when you post your comment.
Also, while playing the sims, a loading screen resets any continuous cheat codes you have enabled. So if you had the cheat codes on for those debug items to appear in your catalog, then continue playing and have your sims for instance change lots, the debug items won't appear anymore in your catalog unless you re-enable the cheats for it. If for some buggy reason the debug items you're looking for don't appear anymore because maybe you've used any search filters, going through a loading screen like you get from visiting another lot should fix that if you re-enable the cheats again. It's a bit wonky and annoying to get to these debug items each time this way, but I guess that's the result of using cheats and non-optimized game assets.
Edit: never mind, I see you figured it out
Those colourful party lights look so pretty. Are they CC?
Yes, I was being impatient and not looking thoroughly! I was looking too far to the side.
