Version 1.82.99.1030

Issue:Cheat Console by pressing “Ctrl + Shift + C” not working correctly.

Issue: “Ctrl + Shift + C” is suppose to open cheat console not take a screen shot.

No mods on figuring it was a mod causing problem.

I even uninstalled and reinstalled game twice.Still has the same issue.

Not sure what pack is causing this issue.

All so running windows 11...Edit

@Xcom46 

You have a program running in the background that takes screenshots using this key combination. You can try to see if it is possible to change the key combination to something else in that program. You can also shut down the program before starting the Sims 4. Lastly you can try using ctrl-shift-win-c in The Sims and see if that will work.

    No the game it self will take the screenshot when pressing the combos.

    I will try the other option.

      @Xcom46 I merged your thread with the Cheat master.

      For some computers it seems you need the windows key. Has been like that for a long while now. Not sure why that is and if it's a certain software that's installed or just the computer itself.

      Glad you figured it out
