Ok so after yesterdays fiasco, last night I uninstalled all the games, cleared all the registry entries and started from scratch, I installed one by one and patched as requested, opened the game made any old sim and tried the mouse problem and guess what it is still there, I can click on the fridge that works or objects etc, but when it comes to the pool no options, the sea, no options, try to make the sim go there, no options. I had no mods installed or any custom content, so it has to be the patch im sorry but what else can it be the game is vanilla for god's sake. The game worked fine before the patch, now it's useless.
I installed all my cc and the same problem. I would also like to know what the heck is happening with the dccache folder what are the tmp files there for
