Still got the same typing issue with patch 8

So I updated the game just now and the typing issue is fixed.

I envy you. No idea why it doesn't work for me

Thanks MBaturina10 

Have you tried a clean boot as well? Also, are you using a standard QWERTY keyboard layout or do you have any custom keyboard mapping you've set up?

I'm using a standard QWERTY keyboard layout and I just did a clean boot and followed the exact instruction in the link you provided but it made no difference. I still can't type anything, just copy and paste

Thanks so much MBaturina10 

I'll get this info up to the team and get back to you as soon as possible. 

MBaturina10 As a test, could you try unplugging your Strafe keyboard before launching The Sims 2, then seeing if this issue still occurs using the Windows On-Screen Keyboard?

Yes I unplugged my keyboard and then turned on windows on screen keyboard. I opened Sims 2 and I still couldn't type anything with the windows on screen keyboard

Heya MBaturina10​

Apologies for the delay, can you try using the game launch modifier -IME:disabled and let me know if that helps?

Do you mean the launch options in steam? Because I tried putting -IME:disabled there and started the game and whenever I tried typing in any text field nothing happened.
