can't type in game

Everything is fine until I go to type in game. I can't type names in CAS or in the cheat bar. Does anyone have any solutions? It's the legacy bundle that is on the EA app

  • Hi all,

    This issue was resolved in today's patch:

    • It is possible for the keyboard to lose input focus and prevent the player from entering text

    I have the same issue. The only solution I found is to type it elsewhere and copy and paste it in. 

  • I had the same issue. I fixed it by minimizing and maximizing my game after taking the game out of windowed mode

    Interesting... I'm not having this issue with The Sims 2.

    However, I did have this issue with SimCity 4 though. I usually fix it by changing the keyboard language setting to American (the weird keyboard to me) and then back... This is done by pressing Space while holding down the Windows key. So, if anyone is having this issue in The Sims 2, could you try it out and see if it solves it there too?

  • Having the same problem + I have no options to choose a window size or be windowed or full screen. Have to hold down right mouse button to Have edge scrolling and left mouse button to skip the game play montage before the loading screen. The more they fix this the more it is broken.
