Testing cheats not working, HELP!

Forgive me if this is in the wrong place, I'm very new!

I came to this forum for help, turning the cheats on in my game isn't working. I pull.up the cheats menu and type in testingcheats on or testingcheats true and it says something like it's not able to execute that command. 

I don't have any gameplay mods but I do have some CCs, if that makes a difference. 

Please help me! Thank you so much if you can!

    Did you try with "testingcheats true"? Try to repair the game in Origin. Rightclick the game and select Repair.

    I've had this happen in my game before. You have be in Live mode before testingcheats can be used.

    How To: Use Testing Cheats -

    1. At Sims 4 Main Menu, choose the family you want to play. Press Pause after getting into live mode.

    2. Press Shift-Ctrl-C all at the same time.
    3. Enter testingcheats on or testingcheats true, press enter.
    -- Once this is enabled, it should show you a message in the cheat console that the cheats are enabled.
    4. Copy or paste the desired cheat, press enter.
    5. Press the ESC key or Shift-Ctrl-C again to exit the cheat console.

    If that doesn't work, try deleting the localthumbcache.package out of the Sims 4 folder to troubleshoot and try using testingcheats again.

  • I had the same issue for awhile- but I actually figured it out. Instead of "true" or "on" do, testingcheats enable and it works. Hope this helps. 

  • @KhaiHisan55 I did that and i have tried other ways but none of the ways are working when i put that in it works then i try to put in a cheat to get the sim id and it just disappears!
