I just re-installed Sims 3, and I can not open the cheat console with the
Ctrl Shift C keys like I could before.

I have the latest patch installed

List of some things I have done to try to fix this:
I removed all mods installed.
I deleted the cache files in documents folder.

Still no console showing up.
Anyone with a answer to this problem?

Thanks
Ariakas

Not wanting to sound patronising, but could there be something wrong with your keyboard? My keys often stick or cease to function thanks to me often eating by the computer  :D Could one of the keys be bust? Try using them outside of the game and see if they work.

If they are in working order, use this piece of advice from yahoo answers, posted by some random guy:

Instead of typing: Ctrl+Shift+C

Type this instead: Ctrl+Shift+WindowsKey+C

If you typed it correctly, the command line should appear as normal, and you should NOT be booted back to the desktop. Holding down Ctrl+Shift prevents the Windows Key from exiting you from Sims 3. The same problem exists with Sims 2 for the same reason, as has the same fix (I actually discovered the fix from someone who had the same problem in Sims 2) If you aren't running an HP laptop with Vista, it might still be worth a shot, but there are no guarantees it will work of course.

I hope this helps the other players (like myself) who couldn't get the cheat console to appear. Please make sure to pass this info on to other forums and the like so everyone is aware.

Ariakas:
Is this something new with the last patch?
I have always used Ctrl+Shift+C in the past.

But Ctrl+Shift+Windows Key+C works.

Thanks Ariakas

Georgette:
Meh, probably. Glad it worked.

AHA!  I thought it was weird - I just got a new computer and changing from XP to Vista something similar happened to me.  I can still type the ...cheatsenabled..  some cheats come up.  But only very few - most of them are gone. same with the Awesome Mod - only a small part of the previously available cheats come up.  if it is really just some keys that are wrong, does someone here know how to "turn it on" again?  do I have to replace one or more of the letters to get it to work?
