CTRL + SHIFT + C won't work (SLS castaway)

[Absynthe]

Hi  there,

I have just installed Sims Lifestories Castaway but am unable to use cheats. I have started with my own family so am not following any particular storyline (I think). I have only had a few chapters so far but where-ever I go the cheat screen does not appear no matter how long I try to punch in ctrl shift and C.

Does anyone have any suggestions how I can remedy this problem?

Are there any hacked objects available which I can use instead of cheats?

Thanks!

Nicki

yes there is, try using the insimenator it will work but it will cause a few glitches so use it at your own risk

You can't play the Free Mode of the game, without playing first one of the Story Mode games (you get there many story rewards, which are used after that in the Free games).

In the Story Mode game work: Inge's Carrigon multi-painting (moods, skills, aspiration), the last version of the Insimenator, and the external program SimPe. The cheat window doesn't work - it works only in the Free Mode play.

Yeah, the cheat window not working in story mode causes me a bit of a headache. I have the issue with the ATI Radeon 1200 card causing stretching of my sims' skins and hair (same as in Sims 2) so I have to use boolprop useshaders false all the time. So, to make life nice and complicated, I have to go to the neighborhood island and put in the command, then load a lot and put it in again, then put it in the neighborhood a final time (just in case) and then it fixes the problem in Story mode. At least it does work all around...phew!
