You posted these specs. in your other thread:

Processor: 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
"I installed The Sims game on my external memory, because as you can see, my laptop does not have enough memory to run it. However, I tried to use the cheat codes to get money and it won't let me, the bar doesn't appear. I already tried Ctrl+Shift+C, and it doesn't show up (screen capture shows up).
I also tried using the F2, but it won't show anything, but the light in my laptop.
I checked the language on my settings and it is in English."
How much space do you have left on your Mac? Click on the Apple logo then About This Mac then Storage to find out.
Great! What exactly was the issue?
With only 27Gb left on your internal storage you may want to look at deleting unwanted files and moving stuff to external storage too.
