Various Hot Keys not working

Could you please provide the following information

-  Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
-  What platform are you playing on (PC, Mac, Playstation, XBox)

Every so often, 1, 2, 3 and 0 keys stop working so I'm unable to change the speed or pause live mode. Have seen another suggestion that it could be the September sale popup but I've hovered over to get rid of this many times and it doesn't seem to have an effect. I do currently have mods in my game but have checked that they're all up to date. First noticed yesterday (16th Sep) but have played fine since the most recent update until then. Have also tried repairing game to no effect. Both top number bar and side number pad affected.

After loading screens the keyboard hot keys for in-game speed do not work (~, 1, 2, 3). Other hot keys, like space bar, to switch between sims still works, just not speed keys. It will be working before the load screen then after, it does not.

I am experiencing this issue as well.  I am playing vanilla w/o mods and am having the same issue.  I cannot press "P" for pause, the speed numbers (1,2,3) to speed up as well as I can't press "J" for job and "I" for my sims inventory.  Thank goodness I am not the only one experiencing this weird bug all of a sudden.

I noticed this bug the last time I played too (a couple days ago). My keyboard hotkeys stop working after I hover over the Shop button. What actually helped me was clicking on the Shop button, then you can hit Escape and get out of the pop-up. After that my hotkeys are restored. Before that, ALL hotkeys don't seem to work, like the hand (H) in build/buy mode, eyedropper (R) in build/buy, the time hotkeys (1,2,3) in live mode, pause (P) in live mode, live mode toggle (F1), buy mode toggle (F2) and build mode toggle (F3).

This happened yesterday and today on two different PCs or rather my PC and Laptop. Both have different Save Files and Mods.

Opening the Store and immediately closing it made it work again when it happened. It's just a quick workaround for now. 

It stops working and is working back alternatively and with no clue of what triggers it.

Hello, I am have the same issue. I play on PC without any mods/CC. I do have several extensions of the game though.

The commands with the keyboard stop working except the up/left/right/down keys. So I can't use the keyboard for the speed of the game. The T, P and Y touch doesn't fonction either. I didn't try to use other touch. And when it happen I have to restart the game so I can use the keyboard again.
