Re: Cheat bar won't open

★★ Novice

I followed the advice to "change my modifier keys" but they weren't ever messed with by another user. However, when I changed my control key to my command and my command to my control, it worked. Would that mean my control key is conflicting with something? The normal control key still works when I need to take a screenshot.

@KoregeousSim

Did you test both CTRL/CMD keys? Do you mean a screenshot in-game or Mac screenshot?

How do I turn off Screen Capture on Sims 4 and get cheat code box instead?

★★★ Newbie

I went into my mac settings and changed the keyboard shortcuts. That didn’t work. 

I also looked in screen capture on sims 4 and it doesn’t show any keyboard settings. 

it’s when I press the C button it does the screen capture while in the game but command shift c and control shift c don’t bring up the box and I want to bring it up for my little sister to use.

@bwmd9glzz4iv

The keys to bring up the cheat box are CTRL, Shift and C. That has always been the case with Sims 4 on Mac, never CMD, Shift and C. This only changes if the user have changed their modifier keys in System Preferences > Keyboard.

If you have any 3rd party screen capture software installed or similar, this may override the OS default keys and the in-game keys.

When you press C in game it is correct that it takes a screenshot.

Re: Cheats bar will not appear

I tried all the options in this post but nothing worked. I put my blutooth keyboard from my PC on my mac and with that the shortcut worked. I still haven't figured out the background of the problem and why it doesn't work with the Mac keyboard, but if you need to play, you can do it like this.
