!!!!!HELP CHEATS NOT WORKING!!!!!

[Cherrysims]

 :confused:One day, I loaded my game and in the neighboorhood view I wanted to type the boolprop cheat. So I pressed (same time) ctrl,shift and c like your supposed to. It worked a million times before except it wouldn't work now (and still dosnt) . You know when you press ctrl, shift and c your supposed to get white rectangular box in the corner of the screen. I didnt get it and I still dont have it. And I wanted to make a movie/series for ppls entertainment or just for myself but for that i need the change lot zoning cheat and no cheat at all works!! And, you know the game just isnt as fun without cheats. And I always run out of money (even though they go to work, even pets do lol). If anyone would know why its happening , or how to fix it, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Cherrysims

need more info. which game or expansion packs or anything?

[Cherrysims]

I have got all the Eps (expantion packs) and from the stuff packs, all except family fun and celebrations and happy holliday and I have mansion and garden but not installed yet.

[Cherrysims]

I had the same EPs and Stuff packs installed when it worked and when it didnt. It happend just a few days ago maybe  a week, I dont know whether ita a glich or anything. It just happened by its self, I tried pressing all the keys still nothing. Maybe its locked or disabled I dont have a clue. did it happen to anyone before/does anyone know anything about it???

First, be sure all your EPs are patched.

It sounds as though you have some other entity on your machine which uses the same key combination.

Try using Control-Shift-Windows Key-C instead and see if that opens the cheat box for you.

It is also a possibility that you have some malware or spyware on your machine which you don't know about and that is impacting things. Use your malware scanner tools (you do have at least one installed, right?) to check for that.

If you don't have any malware tools installed, you definitely should.

Free ones (each may find things the others don't) here:

Ad-Aware -- http://www.adware-2009.com/v2/

Spybot S&D -- http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html

Malwarebytes -- http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

And update any of those which you may choose to have on your machine regularly.

Just one question, sorry if Im anoying, what is 'Windows Key'? Thanks again.

The Windows key is the one on the bottom row of your keyboard with the Windows logo displayed on it.
