Money Cheat Codes on a Mac

Hi @morgandirven - Try "Command-Alt-W" key combo, and see if it adds 5,000 simoleans to your monthly income. Everything that I've read says that you *should* be able to get 100,000 simoleans added to your cash, just by pressing the "Alt-W", but maybe it's not working on the Macs for some reason.

Did you purchase the game through Origin, or from the Aspyr store? That could give us a clue as to what is happening. In the meantime, I'm asking around to see if any helpers with a Mac may have the same issue or know how to get the cheat to work.

@morgandirven - I've moved your posts into your own thread so we can better track this issue.

I've just loaded up both the Aspyr version of the game from the Mac App Store and the EA one through Origin, loaded my town and successfully added §100,000 to the funds by holding down the Alt/Option key and then pressing W. It took a couple of seconds but I received the notification at the top of the screen that I had additional funds. Could you let me know:

• Do you have any Mods installed that may be causing the cheats to not work?
• Which version of macOS are you running?
• Which language keyboard are you using?
• Have you, or someone with access to your Mac, remapped your keys so the Alt/Option key has a different function?
• Do you have any software installed that may have changed the default keyboard mapping?

Hi, and thanks for taking time to reply to me 🙂

- So i have the extended version of simcty (cities of tomorrow?) brought via the origin,

- it's the first time i install a game on my mac (mac pro 2013 with mojave 10.14.5).

- I don't even know what the mods are... ^^' So i'm guessing i haven't installed one. But i have the extended version.

- My key board is a french mac keyboard, it usually doesn't affect the shortcuts.. And none of my softwares should change any key word functions. (i only have adobe sofwares on my computer)

I read somewhere that the server you are on might cause some changes (bugs i guess)... Is that absolut non sense? I must be missing something stupid, but can't figure it out.

Again thank you for you time 🙂

Thanks 🙂

Could you please add the UK or US keyboard to your Mac and then see if that helps when you press the Option key? It's very quick and easy to do - https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchlp2214/mac

Edit - ahh, I wonder if you need to hold down the Option key and press the Z key as that is in the same place as the W on a UK/US keyboard?
