i cant type when i try to do cheats

@Axleypan  If the other keyboard doesn't work, or you don't have one handy, try switching the game into windowed mode.  If that doesn't help, disable any apps that come with overlays, for example Discord.  Disable the Steam and EA App in-game overlays as well.

Yes i tried the other keyboard but it didn't change anything, i saw someone say to change the overlay of steam and EA  but i dont really understand how to do that lol but i downloaded the game off of steam so i feel like that could be the problem? if anyone can explain to an idiot how to change the overlays that would be very helpful

Hi i have the same issue on my windows 10 I  typed the enable code testingcheats true it did not work. My sister uses it the codes on steam and its works but not for me 

I turned off the overlay text in steam and it worked for me ! thank you for the link it helped a lot 🙏🏼

Hello!

I am trying to type in cheats for a new Sims save, the cheats window pops up, but it doesn't allow me to type in anything. It doesn't show any type of error message. I'm not really sure how to fix this and I tried to look through other threads. I'm used to playing on Mac but now I play on a Windows PC on the EA App and I'm new to this type of computer. If there's any advice on how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
