[READ FIRST] Cheat console doesn't open

Appologies, after doing some digging around in my graphical settings I was finally able to ix the issue. I had gone back to double check all the possible ways to fix the issue with no luck until I saw the post about AMD grapnical settings. I turned off the capture toggle and was able to fix it. (I had just built a new and better pc and was pretty frustrated that after spending so much nothing was working still so of course I was getting pretty mad about it- appologies again and thanks for offering help ;; )

I know that this is an old thread but i’m having the same issue, it’s a new-ish save file? been playing for about two weeks or so just building lots and families. i’ve played with cheats for years and all of a sudden the menu won’t open, I did all of the recommendations including removing all my mods and now the game isn’t working at all, crashing every time i try to load into the last played household. i haven’t tried making a new save but like i said this one isn’t very old so i don’t get why i’m having these problems, any help would be greatly appreciated!
