🛠️ 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 also met this problem on Windows OS,but I found a weird method to solve it.I pressed ctrl+shift+windows+c instead of ctrl+shift+c.And it worked.So I wonder if you can try ctrl+shift+command+c because I think windows key to windows os is just like command key to mac os.

Doesn't the Windows key bring up certain menus and actually functions on its own? Mac users use the CMD key instead of the CTRL key, e.g. CMD+C for copy, CMD+V for paste. This is why a lot of Mac users mistakenly think that the cheat console is brought up by using CMD, Shift and C when it is CTRL, Shift and C.
That's an interesting method you used though 🙂
Hmm...seeing that I have only played TS4 for Windows OS and I'm not familiar with Mac OS,so all of my suggestions to solve it on Mac is just some sort of guessing or inference.So I guess you can also try pressing command+shift+ctrl+c and see if it works.
Besides,some sort of apps will jammed the opening of cheat box.I found that the Cursor FX is an example for that.While pressing ctrl+shift+c,the mouse cursor reset it self.
Hello All,
I am trying to also get the cheat bar up on Sims 4 but unable to do so. I was able to do so last time I played by adjusting the keyboard config in keyboard modifier so Caps Lock began CTRL key function but now no joy.
I am playing on an iMac with latest iOS El Capitan which is up to date and my keyboard is the bluetooth one which came with it. I have just changed the batteries and they are 100%. Also I went back to keyboard modifier in system prefs and tried changing the CTRL to the Option key but still it is not working.
Thanks in advance for a resolution to this.

Did you try remapping your keys to their normal functions? It could be that the game isn't recognizing the new key functions and is looking at the original ones.
