Can't type in game! (The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection)

[imnotcat]

Hello, since yesterday I've had this problem where I can't type in game (like on the neighborhood name or description, cheatbox, etc). I already tried things like reinstalling, repairing and moving my files away and running the game to create new ones, but nothing seems to work.

If you could help me I'd really appreciate it, since I've looked up this issue and it seems not many people have it 

The keyboard works fine with other programs and games, and my laptop has windows 8.1

@imnotcat Hi, do you use any mods? If so, try removing these and try again. 

Past this it may help to restart your system with a Clean Boot, in case there's any interference from 3rd party programs.

Hello! I had the exact same problem and I realised that it's not very common so there's not too much information about it on the internet, but what worked for me was just changing my keyboard to "English (United Kingdom)".

I use Windows 8.1, I hope it works for you!

Sorry for my english, I'm venezuelan
