Keybinds suck when I open the cheat menu

I’ve tried everything to resolve this issue. I’ve reinstalled the game, verified files, and reset settings, yet every time I press Control+Shift+C to open the cheat console, the game freezes in a specific way. The WASD keys stop working, as do the arrow keys. I can still use the mouse to move the camera, zoom in, and out, but I lose all keyboard control of movement. I’d really appreciate any advice or support from the community or admins on what might be causing this conflict.

  • What platform? I only play on PC, and have never used the wasd keys for anything in-game.

    I have a windows laptop, the wasd are similar to the arrow keys to move the camera left, right, front, back.

    I have only ever used the mouse to move the cameras and have been playing this iteration since 2016. Are you using the Sims 3 controls, because I find those unplayable.
