I cannot call the cheat box in MAC version with "control+shift+c"

How can I fix it?

[Tremayne4260]

If you have an external keyboard or can download a keyboard app for your iPad, that will allow you to use the Control + Shift + C.

Hey I had the same problem if you hold cmd+ctrl+shift+c 

[Tremayne4260]

It has always been in all versions of the Sims no matter the platform Control + Shift + C. 

If this is not working for you, then you need to hook up an external keyboard or perhaps change your keyboard configuration.

If you want money I have a solution!!!
Go into the community gallery and search up paintings then place a room or how much you want and then sell the paintings! It takes longer then just typing "motherlode" but until they fix this it's the best thing to do I just got more than 200 thousand dollars just from paintings I didn't even do!

Go into System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys and set another key as your CTRL key. 

This issue has nothing to do with a bug or glitch in the game. It is down to one or more of the following:

• Broken CTRL key(s). Connect another keyboard to see if this is the case.
• 3rd party software that has changed the keyboard mapping, e.g. - screenshot software or video capture software.
• 3rd party software that is conflicting with the game. Close down any other apps that are running.
• User changes to the modifer keys in System Preferences. Has someone used your Mac under your user account and changed something without you knowing?
• The Input Source in System Preferences > Keyboard has been changed to a different language. You could also try adding another language to see if this resolves the issue.

 Just to confirm, to bring up the cheat console you type in CTRL, SHIFT and C. It has never been the CMD key. Yes, we normally substitute the CMD key for the CTRL key but not for Sims.

I also met this problem on Windows OS,but I found a weird method to solve it.I pressed ctrl+shift+windows+c instead of ctrl+shift+c.And it worked.So I wonder if you can try ctrl+shift+command+c because I think windows key to windows os is just like command key to mac os.
