I did a poll on Twitter and 60% of simmers are having this issue. This may also be happening on consoles. I haven't tested that yet version yet. I am told that restarting the game fixes this but this shouldn't be happening in the first place.

Hi @catloverplayer I had this problem when starting a new save since update. Exiting the game and restarting it fixed the problem. Does that fix it for you?
- @mightyspritesims I haven't tried restarting yet as I haven't played since it happen cause of time constraints but for me it happened in an old save.
@catloverplayer I merged your post with the main thread. Game repair seems to have helped most people with this issue.
After the latest patch this month of March, some of the arrow keys (left and right) do not work anymore when playing Sims 4 on PC. You can go up and down. But not one side to the other. Sometimes if the game is restarted it suddenly works. Though it still pauses a bit. Either way, this was never an issue until this last patch.
The problem prevents players from exploring or navigating anywhere in the game. It also, makes it almost impossible to build on lots in the game. Btw, having to come out a game save and the many windows that takes time to load in order to restart can take up so much game time. Thus, I hope this problem is investigated and fix. On various forums like Reddit, I see others having the same issue with this patch.
