Sims 4- I can't bring up the cheat window/console

I could bring up the cheat bar yesterday, but today when I press CTRL+SHIFT+C it doesn't work and that is what I have been doing previously. I didn't have any apps running in the background except origin and it has always worked with that. I don't understand why it has stopped working!

    Certain programs interfere with the button input from what I can recall. Considering it worked for you once but not now, this could be the case. Skype for example is known to sometimes cause interference like this. Try shutting down any unnecessary programs from the background and try it out again.

    Another thing which sometimes might cause it not to function would be sticky keys. Go to Control Panel and from there go to Ease of Access Center. Or on Windows 10, open up Start menu and write "sticky keys" and it should find "Turn on easy access keys" . From there make sure "Turn on Sticky Keys" is turned off.

    I recently purchased the TS4 Eco Lifestyle. I went to start a new game to check out the new features and frills that came with it. When I tried to run the In-Game Cheat Console Command ( I do not use mods, personally) I was unable to pull up the console command window. here is a list of what I did to try and resolve the issue.

    1.) I repaired the files
    2.) I uninstalled the Game and did a clean install of the game and all the packs I bought

    3.) I checked marked the box to enable MOD/Cheat Scripting

    4.) Restarted and Repaired the Game Again

    5.) Checked for Possible Programs in the back ground - No I am not running any programs that would cause interference as I do not use screen shot editors or Skype on my home computer

    6.) Deleted all of my Game Files and Started a new Game

    I have no idea why the in-game cheat console no longer works. The patch notes made no mention of its removal. 
    I could really use some assistance in fixing this problem or at least notifying the developers of the issue.

    Thank you

    Hi there. 

    Since this is a pretty old thread that wasn't updated in several years, I went ahead and locked it. 

    If you need help with a similar issue please create a new thread, and we'll take a look. Thank you!
