Some people have encountered problems enabling The Sims 3 cheats, however. Fortunately, the solutions on this page have worked for everyone I've pointed them out to.

Note for Macintosh users: Simply replace any instance of CTRL or Control with the Command Key.
Sims 3 CTRL + SHIFT + C Not Working? Solution
If CTRL + SHIFT + C does not turn on cheats, then use CTRL + SHIFT + WINDOWS KEY + C. This is often needed on HP laptops running vista.

The Sims 3 CTRL + SHIFT + C Not Working? Solution
If you're having trouble getting the console to appear in The Sims 3 then make sure you are pressing the code correctly. It is Control + Shift + C simultaneously, not one after the other. Press CTRL + SHIFT + C, you'll see the console box appear at the top of the screen (it has a light blue color to it), type one of the codes from the list of Sims 3 cheats, and press enter.
If you are still having a problem getting the console to load then make sure you do not have any custom cursor or mouse pointing software enabled as this could interfere with bringing up the console. I have the codes working flawlessly. Hope this helps.

Fix Problems Enabling The Sims 3 Cheats
If you cannot seem to get the cheat code console to appear by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + C then try the following two solutions.
Press the Windows Key, then press CTRL + SHIFT + C, the console should appear at the top of the screen. If that doesn't work then try this one.
Press CTRL + SHIFT + CTRL + SHIFT (on the right side too), then let the right side up, keeping the left CTRL + SHIFT down and press C, you should see the console now at the top of the screen. This has worked for a couple of my friends, hope it help you as well.
