cheat console won't open?

Do you ever use the little search box to look for items in build/buy mode?
Yes, I definitely do, but I'm unsure if she does.
Ok thanks. And are you sure that the little search box is not active when you're trying to bring up the cheat console? Because if it is then the cheat console won't pop up
Yeah, I'm sure. I typically use the box in live mode, and it still doesn't come up. It's not a super frequent problem; it seems to happen only on households with a lot of sims.
I've an other problem, actually. Because I downloaded the sims 4 on my pc and everything worked fine but now I've got a MacBook and I downloaded the sims 4 but now I can't open the cheat bar anymore. When I try CTRL+SHIFT+C it makes a screenshot! That's because of the C. But when I just watch movies on Netflix or search something on safari and I try C, it doesn't do anything. So can someone help me??
1. Make a completely new save using "SAVE AS.." You do not want to save over your original file. If the next step does not fix the issue, you wont be able to go back to an old save!!!
2. RESTART THE GAME.
3. LOAD THE NEW GAME FILE. Try using SHIFT + CTRL + C. It should be fixed now. Seems the game stops recognizing the command sometimes. Memory leak or something.
While this may work for those using standard US/UK keyboards, it does not work for many who have a different keyboard. They still will need to set their keyboards to the US/UK configuration to get the cheat console to work.
