Cant Open Cheat Console With Razer Keyboard

I having the worst time, trying to get the cheat console to open it worked on my other wireless keyboard, and i dont have gzyao running in the backround ... i just got the Razer Huntsmans Elite keyboard and i pressed ctrl shift c and it wont open, it just captures a screen shot from the scene currently in...Sims 4. Do i have to set macros for this type of keyboard which i dont even know what they are...smh....Does ne1 have any suggestions with using this type of keyboard ???

    @CastlesnSpain  Are you using OS X 10.3 or earlier? You need to disable the shortcut in system preferences - keyboard and mouse - keyboard shortcuts.

    You have a screen capture program running in the background. You need to either stop it before starting the game or change the key combination it uses (if possible). Since it started with the new keyboard the program likely was included with the software for the keyboard.

    You wrote "it just captures a screen shot " so we know for a fact that you have a screen capture program running.

    C by itself takes a screen capture in The Sims 4. It does not influence that you press ctrl + shift + c to open the cheat console. It is not the keyboard you change the key combo in but the screen capture program.

  • @jpkarlsen when all 3 are depressed i get screen shot of the current scene of the game im in. so how do i stop the program from running...do tell plz!

    When the screen capture program triggers by you pressing the key combo you should be able to see its name.

    Rightclick the taskbar and select Task Manager. Find the screen capture in the list select it and click End Task

  • If you have radeon check your settings. I had the same problem and in radeon under video, I believe, was where I found the same key combo. I Changed that and now my control+shift+c works like a charm in the Sims 4!

    @CastlesnSpain You need to find the program that has that key sequence bound to it and stop it. We aren't going to know all the programs you have installed. If it's in the Razer, try setting the key bindings to default. You'll just have to look for it. Check what software you have installed and running.
