🛠️ Opening the Sims 4 cheat console on Mac
There always seems to be some confusion over how to open the cheat console on a Mac because Mac users normally substitute the CMD key for the CTRL key in everyday Mac usage (CMD + C, CMD + V for copy...

I keep pressing command + shift + c but the bubble won't appear for me to type in the cheat codes. Does anyone know whats going on? I don't have any external apps on. Please let me know, it's getting pretty boring without the cheats for money!
If you want money I have a solution!!!
Go into the community gallery and search up paintings then place a room or how much you want and then sell the paintings! It takes longer then just typing "motherlode" but until they fix this it's the best thing to do I just got more than 200 thousand dollars just from paintings I didn't even do!

Wait, how do you do that - wheres the community gallery??
Using the cheat console is exactly the same on a Mac as it is in Windows. Hold down CTRL, Shift and C. Whereas we normally substitute the CMD key for the CTRL key, this is not the case in The Sims 4 (or The Sims 3). If this is not working for you check your keyboard configuration in System Preferences, have you changed it in the past? Have you changed something in System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard? Have you changed the Modifier keys? The cheat console is coded into the game, there is no reason why it shouldn't work unless the user has changed some settings or has software installed which may be conflicting with the keyboard settings. Check whether your CTRL key is faulty or broken. If all else fails:
- Try plugging in or bluetoothing another keyboard to your Mac. You may have a broken CTRL key(s).
- Check for 3rd party software that has changed the keyboard mapping, e.g. - screenshot software or video capture software.
- 3rd party software that is conflicting with the game. Close down any other apps that are running.
- User changes to the modifer keys in System Preferences. Has someone used your Mac under your user account and changed something without you knowing? Go into System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys and set another key as the CTRL key
- The Input Source in System Preferences > Keyboard has been changed to a different language. You could also try adding another language to see if this resolves the issue.
You can also find this information in the Sims 4 stickied help thread at the top of this Mac forum. It is exactly the same for Sims 3.
