I am having a problem with The Sims 1 Legacy edition.I want to send my sim to travel to Old Town Quarter, one of the lots in the bottom right. However, this lot and the lots near it are unclickable. In fact, all the lots in the right side won't display any info and are not clickable. I've included an image with an area you can't click on:Has anyone found any workarounds?

Good news! As of the latest update, this issue is now solved for me! My sims now can finally go to Old Town Quarter!In addition, the travel screen looks different too now.So yeah, for now, this bug is FIXED!

EgonVM Can you click that area of the screen when you're in live mode? This sounds more like an issue with an overlay or notification than a game issue, and I haven't seen it reported elsewhere yet.

Yes, I can.
Just discovered that the bottom screen is also inaccessible. So the picture should look like this:
And I'm playing on the wide resolution, so it looks like this:
And here, the boarders where you can click are clearly defined. You can't click outside those.
So yeah... It's an overlay issue. Alt+Enter to put it into windowed mode doesn't help: it makes the button hitbox move somewhat down and right. I'm out of ideas here unfortunately...

Update. This only happens when traveling in old town. The other sub-neighborhoods work fine.

EgonVM In windowed mode, does it help to drag the window elsewhere on the screen? As in, does the overlay move with the game or stay in one place? And have you tried shutting down absolutely every other app that might be running, and disabling the EA App in-game overlay, and (if you use an Nvidia GPU) any GeForce Experience overlay or related control panel?

Moves with game window here.
No other overlays on.

Arvie128 Just to be sure, you lowered the resolution of your screen itself, right?

EgonVM Costello8 Ellupelluellu Sims_LucisXII What resolution does your (main) monitor have, and does the problem go away if you lower the resolution? Lowering the resolution is obviously not a fix, but it would be helpful to know whether it made a difference.

Please also list the user and system DPI scalings, and if they're not 96 (100%), try using that.
