Can't open the cheat console in Sims 4

I have window 7. I own Sims 4 digital deluxe edition. I have uninstall the game, played without my saved data and when I try to open the cheat console,  it change nothing. I thought the problem could have been my keyboard buttons but they are working. I also tried the sims 4 in my other computer with window 8 and it the same problem. When I push ctrl+shift+c it does nothing. I don't have any mods in my game.

I own

holiday celebration pack

Spooky stuff pack

Thank you for your help.

    Oh, I'm sorry. Now I know what you mean.

    Do other keys like th 'm' (opens map view)  key or p (pauses the game) work for you ?

  • Make sure there's no program running in the background that could be using the same combination and hence overruling the game.

    Hi, i have this problem as well, but only in one family ☹️ my favourite family of course. When I play others, the cheat window appears normally.

    In the same save game or a different one ?

    Do other keys like M or P work ?

  • When i open window task manager in applications it only show Origin and sims 4. The console still don't open.

    Not sure what you mean. 

    The cheat console is a white bar at the upper right corner of the Sims screen. Not a separate program.

  • I'm sorry if I was hard to understand, I don't speak or write in English often. I meant that when I play in Sims 4 and open window task manager the only applications who's active are Sims 4 and Origin. In a previous comment you told me that the cheat console might be not working because of a program running in the background. But, the task manager says there is no other program running. I guess the cheat console is not working for another reason.

    Thank you for trying to help.
