@desia2003 Are you saying you can't click anything on the Main Menu? Does it help to switch between fullscreen and windowed modes? Use cmd-return to switch, and make sure the game window is in focus when you do.
If that's not the issue, please disable Origin in-game: hover over your username, select Application Settings, then the Origin in-game header, and disable the option at the top.

@desia2003 You can tell the game to run in windowed mode by changing the setting manually. Open Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3, open the file labeled options.ini, cmd-f to search for "fullscreen," and set it to 0 (zero). Save and quit, and when you launch the game, it should be in windowed mode.
If that doesn't work, let me know what pointing device you're using (trackpad, magic mouse, a mouse not made by Apple, etc.), and if you can, please test with a different device.
- 5 years ago@puzzlezaddict I'm actually already in windowed when I load in, so what would I do to put it in fullscreen?

@desia2003 Are you actually in windowed mode (fullscreen = 0), or do you see black bars along the sides of the screen? The latter happens in fullscreen: the game window doesn't fit the screen size, and the black bars take up the extra space.
Anyway, fullscreen = 1 makes the game run in fullscreen, and fullscreen = 0 makes it run in windowed mode.
