Hi, I recently bought a new laptop which runs with Windows Vista.

My old computer was a Windows 98 and I had my Sims2 downloaded on that with...4(?) different expansion packs. It worked perfectly fine, it was just slow because I shared that computer with my siblings so it was very bogged down.

Anyway, I downloaded my Sims2 onto my new Compaq. It works great! Only, I can't get the cheat window to show up. I know how (ctrl+shift+c), it just doesn't work when I try.

My friend at Best Buy said it's because the hot keys are different for windows vista.

I've checked the maker's website, I've looked EVERYWHERE for an answer. If anyone could help me that would be amazing. I would be very very grateful, because I'm very frustrated and very desperate.

Thanks!

ALSO, i wanna know if anyone else is having this issue or if it is just me. so if you can reply telling me if you do, thatd be great.

Hi littleemmylouwho,

After having searched around a bit, it seems that most of the time, other users have a program that uses the same shortcut for something else. So could you tell us the programs you have installed on your computer? Or if you wouldn't like to tell us as a matter of privacy, I would recommend you look at the settings of your different programs to make sure another program isn't using the same shortcut.

Hope this helps
