Ctrl + Shift + C doesn't work I'm running the Sims 2(Holiday Pack) and Sims 2 University. The cheat code box does not pop up when I pres ctrl shift c. I've tried in neighborhood and in my family house doesnt work. Anyone know why? Or how to change the keys? I'm using a HP Pavilion Laptop. Thanks
Wonders ... (thinking outside the box) ... are you using a wireless keyboard? Check the batteries ... pressing three keys at once might be more than a weak old dry cell can handle
Yess!! I'm having the same problem i just instalklked the latest Kitchen and Bath stuff and wanted to use some cheats and on pressin Ctrl+Shift+C the cheat box didn't appear i have read all of these problems but don't want to start a new topic on it! I don't have the whole Curoser XP thing?? I need help!!!too :rambo:
For people with Windows Vista and HP Notebooks GOT IT!!! My fiance got me a HP Notebook with Windows Vista and a lot of memory and stuff to be able to play the Sims and... Vista doesn't like the Sims. Anyway, after chatting with a lot of customer service people that did not help me at all, I found out the following after a lot of trial and error: CHEAT CONSOLE: Windows Vista and HP assigned the HP Health Check CTRL+Shift+C as a shortcut key (apparently, they don't play the Sims). It cannot be changed to another one because it is integrated with the operating system (i.e. Windows Vista). You can go to the HP Health Check Properties menu and disable the application, but the shortcut key will still activate it. SOLUTION: you have to press the Windows key before the "C" (CTRL+Shift+Windows Key+C); that will bring up the cheating console. No need to rename or delete anything (which was my next move ). Hope that'll help .
oh thank god somebody figured that one out. i just got an HP Pavilion laptop and i had the same problem. thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
