Hi,
try this:
Go to the start menu,
search for HP Health Check,
right click and go to properties,
click the short cut tab,
and then go down to the short cut window.
The short cut for this program is also ctrl+shift+c,
so just change it and your cheats window should work fine.
good luck!

I just wanted to thank you for this piece of advice. My friend just installed the Sims 2 and has Windows Vista, and I couldn't figure out why the cheat bar wouldn't come up (I run XP and, of course, have had no problems). In searching for the answer as many people have had this problem, the only answer that many people could give was 'you have to hold down ctrl+shift+c at the same time'. As though we hadn't already tried that. Your advice solved the problem, so thank you for paying attention to the question and being a great help!

I am on a mac and i have no problems with my Sims 2 and I never have. I can open the cheat box with control shift C. I can do all the cheats including "motherlode" and "kaching" and "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true or false" and "max motives". They all work fine with my game and I have sims2, seasons, family fun stuff, and open for buisness.

The cheat that you put up to get the sims 2 window up I have a question. How do you get to Hp health check and when I'm on it how do I get from there because when I go to the start menu i got to HP support and I search for it but I don't know what to click on and what to right click so can you send some directions cause my sims are poor and hungry I need cheats. PLEASE!!!!!!!!

This great tank, thanks so much, ive been tryna fix that issue for months,, i had stopped playing the game and just said i was gonna wait for sims 3 to come out before playing sims anymore. everybody else if you have vista, on my last computer update they had changed crtl+shift+c on my shortcut tab, i had to change it to none and it instantly worked.

"just right click hp health check and go to properties." -mocking voice-
I uninstalled the game seconds before coming across your bulletin. I was thinking a fresh install might fix things... Though i must ask. How did you come across this conclusion. And so everyone knows, money in this game is fairly easy to come across.

Okay i have a lil seacret to tell you all. okay its kinda not soo lil. the sims 2 sucks on vista. vista computers dont read them right or something. and cause many promeblems for game play. i learned that from talking on the phone for about 2 hour with tech support. yeah i had the same thing wrong. they couldnt fix it and they pretty much said the same thing about vista as i did. well then my mom got on the computer and looked it up on similar web sites. And this is a big one instead of Usein shirft+c+ctrl, or instead of doing all that stuff that one person did. just press shift+ctrl+the widows key+c all at the same time. Haha it really works to.! try it! i was ammazed that it was just that simple!

For Vista you must press shift and ctrl, hold those two keys down. Then press and release the ctrl on the right side, and press and release c, while holding down shift and ctrl on the left side.

Mummy, on May 17, 2009 6:45:48 am BST

If you have a vist laptop that is a hp brand this is what you do to fix the cheat window for the sims 2
Firstly go to the start button then click all programs. Scroll down untill you see a folder called hp click on the folder and all the sub folders for hp are displayed. You will then see one called Hp health check. Just right click it and when the window opens select properties. When a box opens there will be a tab that says shortcut mine actually opens in the shortcut tab so i didnt need to navigate to it. About half way down you will see Shortcut key and in the box next to it will be ctrl + shift + c just click in the box and change the c to a h or any other letter you like. Then click apply then you can close the box. Now run the sims 2 and when you are in the game the ctrl + shift + c cheat box should work.
