Hello, My left shift key is completely broken. When I try to bring up the cheats bar with Command+shift+C using the right shift key, all that happens is it takes a screenshot. I'm guessing because i...

Your shift key is working as that is the key combination to take a screenshot on your Mac. Using the right combination of keys always helps to bring up the cheat console - CTRL, Shift and C..... that is CTRL, Shift and C. If you're still having problems read this specific post on troubleshooting cheat console issues - https://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612394#M167
My left shift Key is actually entirely broken, doesn't respond to anything at all. I have tried every combination of keys including the ones you mentioned. Using the right shift key does nothing for it. Even with the commands you said. All it does is take an in-game screenshot because I pressed C. It ignores shift and ctrl completely and only recognizes C. Command- shift -3 takes the screenshot on my Mac in general, as well as command -shift-4. I have a late 2013 macbook pro, which unfortunately has been known to end up with a dead left shift key for whatever reason.
But if you can take screenshots using CMD, Shift and 3 or 4 on your Mac then the left key isn't broken, or do you only use the right shift key?
Have you checked all the points in the post I linked to? Have you also tried remapping a Shift key on your keyboard?
The left shift key is completely unresponsive to everything, won't even capitalize letters. I've been having to use the right one for everything and the only thing I can't get to work with it is cheats for sims ☹️ . I am able to use it for other games, just not the sims. I ended up taking about 100 in game photos just trying to get it to work lol. I had a look at the post you linked to and couldn't find anything different with my keyboard or anything that caused a conflict with the game. As for remapping, I honestly haven't got a clue on how to do that, as It's something I've never had to worry about before.
