They took the ability to call up that console away (i believe) in one of the expansions. If you wanna cheat the game in a specific way you're gonna have to go lookin' for a cheat to download. Just check the "cheats/fixes" sections of different game sites and modthesims2 dot com.

You can try gameburnword, IGN, here on gamespot just to name a few.

I have all of the expansion ('cept Seasons, I'm picking that up) and the cheat line comes up just fine for me.  They didn't disable it.  They wouldn't, I can tell you that.  The game is used for so much more than playing.  People use it to film and make stories, they just go in to build houses with all kinds of fancy tricks, they experiment with it.  All of these things require the cheat console, it's not going away.

As to the original problem, you might get better results checking out the tech support forum on the community part of www.sims2.com.  You may even be able to run a search and find someone who had and fixed this exact problem.  I've never heard about it, but I don't follow that forum at all.

Ok, I was wrong. Didn't know that. Thanks for the correction. And to the people asking, "why cheat?....blah blah blah." The "cheat console" is just called that but it's not really a cheat. It came with the game and is part of the game for a reason the developers thought would increase the playability and fun for the players. It should be more aptly named a "configuration console" or something like that. The Sims2 is not just about playing the game. It's about all the other stuff you can do in the game too. EG. building houses (some just like to do that, sort of like having an architectural program for dummies), making stories (like mentioned above), making movies etc etc. A large percentage of PC games come with similar "config consoles" nowadays which helps people get more out of the game. Imho, if it comes with the game, it's meant to be used. A true "cheat" imo would be some kind of crack that did NOT come with the game that enables someone to actually cheat some part of it.

OK peoples...

I read everything you guys typed, and I don't understand anything that you said.

After all, I'm not the greatest computer wizard in the world. That's for the founder of Apple.

I'm having the same problem, though, with the cheat box not popping up when I press ctrl+shift+c.

So please put how to fix the problem in stupid terms for me. :]]

And if you absolutely, positively, NEED to know what kind of computer I have, its an HP Pavillion dv5 notebook. :]]]

Grassy peoples :]
