On just 1 of my four lots in my save none of my sims at this lot will use the computers unless I have them sit first. I've tried replacing the desk, computer, and chair. Also relocating the desk, computer, and chair. The other active lots in this save are not having this issue. The troublesome lot is a new build though. I have had this issue before several months ago with a diff sim and lot. When I moved that sim the issue followed them (same furnishings). Problem did not cease with that sim until I moved them into lot of another family. I have a friend that plays the sims and they are having this issue as well. They also know more about the game than I do, I am quite new to the sims. They too are stumped and also in a new build.

@whymelani Do you have clutter/stuff on your desk other than the computer ?

If so, could you try if it helps removing that ?

  Thank you for the response. I did go into build mode to look at the footprint of the computer and made sure the clutter items were out of the way. That didn't make a diff. I did try a Tiny Living desk with no clutter and the cheapest office chair. After one time successfully using the computer with only clicking the computer, sim refused to use it again. It's like it has cooties or something. I am not on my Windows PC right now. But if I get other troubleshooting tips I will test them later tonight. My friend has this same issue and has replaced all items and moved to another lot. The issue remains.
  Other suggestions are welcome.
  Thanks again.
