How do I enter cheats?

★★ Novice

Hi, I have just downloaded sims 4 on my macbook witch has a return key rather than enter. This means I am unable to enter cheat codes once I have typed them in. What do I do?

Hit the Enter/Return key after inputting the cheat code.

Did you press the delete/backspace key by mistake? Which exact Mac do you have and which language keyboard?

Bizarre! So you have a MacBook Pro? Is it 13" or 15"? Which language? For example, I have a British QWERTY keyboard. You can check this in System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources.

 

Have you edited your keyboard configuration at all? Downloaded any apps like screenshotting or video capture software which can sometimes re-map the keyboard?

Thanks. Your keyboard is different to the one I posted (mine is the 15") but looking at Apple's site and the 13" MBPs it looks like this right?

So the Return key should be the one to hit once you've typed in the cheat.

Is it working ok in other Applications? For example if you want to create a new paragraph in Word or doing a Google search?

Have you changed any Accessibility options in System Preferences? May be worth checking in Accessibility > Keyboard under both the Hardware and Accessibility Keyboard tabs. Check under Switch Control too.
