my cheat box won't appear, help!

[tgoode09]

Has anyone else had this problem? I want to use my cheats but every time I try to put in CTRL-SHIFT-C it just takes a screenshot/photo. Can someone please help me!

@tgoode09I believe you have to press COMMAND + SHIFT + C when playing on a mac.

Hey y'all, 

so I just recently installed the sims 3 64-bit onto my laptop yesterday & I am super excited but my cheat box won't appear at all. Every time I try to enter CNTRL-SHIFT-C, it takes a screenshot. PLEASE can someone try to help me!!

Hi there!

In the Sims 3 64-bit and Metal, the new keyboard shortcut for cheats is cmd+shift+c

Hope this helps!

@tgoode09 I believe it's Command + Shift + C on Mac.

@electricplumbob What if it's windows? I can't open mine even though I'm paying CTRL +SHIFT+C

@jenndcook06  The command in Windows is crtl-shift-C.  If it's not working, you may have a program in the background that's using the same key combination.  The suggestions in this thread are for Sims 4, but the concept is the same.
