Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

My game was working fine a few weeks ago and then all of a sudden I loaded up a modded save and I could not click on anything in game. I couldn't click on sims, objects, edit sims or anything. I can name them, assign pronouns, walk styles, likes/dislikes and I can click on menus in CAS and in-game but that is the extent of what I can do.

I tried to make a new game and found the issue on there too. Then I looked in the forums and did everything people suggested. I disabled mods and the issue was still there. I repaired my game multiple times and nothing changed. I removed my mod folder and the vanilla game was still broken. I deleted localthumbcache and nothing. I even did a complete clean install and still the bug is there.

  • Initially, I dismissed this option but it worked! The tutorials got reset, which was a good sign and then I could finally click on sims again! Thank you!
