  1. Here I am talking about my Sims 3 that I have on Steam, I don't want to switch this game onto Origin and the patches are up-to-date on Steam. All I want to know is if i register my Sims 3 from Steam on the Sims 3 webpage, which is different from Origin, it will keep it on Steam or it will switch to Origin account.
  2. First, bring up the cheat console by holding down the CTRL, SHIFT, and C keys on your keyboard at the same time. This will bring a small dark blue box up at the top of your screen. This box is generally called the 'cheat box' or the 'cheat console.' Type the cheat text in there and hit ENTER.
