How do I enter cheats?

Hi, I have just downloaded sims 4 on my macbook witch has a return key rather than enter. This means I am unable to enter cheat codes once I have typed them in. What do I do?

    Hi, thanks for your reply I have tried pressing return and it just deletes what I have typed :/

    Did you press the delete/backspace key by mistake? Which exact Mac do you have and which language keyboard?

    I have the new 2019 MacBook. don't know about the key board but have tried pressing return multiple times and still hasn't worked

    Bizarre! So you have a MacBook Pro? Is it 13" or 15"? Which language? For example, I have a British QWERTY keyboard. You can check this in System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources.

    Have you edited your keyboard configuration at all? Downloaded any apps like screenshotting or video capture software which can sometimes re-map the keyboard?

    I have the 13inch, the language is English Australian qwerty keyboard. I have only just got the laptop haven't done anything with the keyboard settings

    Thanks. Your keyboard is different to the one I posted (mine is the 15") but looking at Apple's site and the 13" MBPs it looks like this right?

    So the Return key should be the one to hit once you've typed in the cheat.

    Yes that is what it looks like. I have tryed multiple times now still no luck the return button is still just deleting the cheat code

    Is it working ok in other Applications? For example if you want to create a new paragraph in Word or doing a Google search?

    Have you changed any Accessibility options in System Preferences? May be worth checking in Accessibility > Keyboard under both the Hardware and Accessibility Keyboard tabs. Check under Switch Control too.
