Computers not working

I've had this issue before but now it seems to be every computer. I'll direct my sim to use a computer and it just X's itself out. They won't go anywhere near the computer. Is this happening to anyone else? It's several different sims, different houses and neibourhoods.

  • I'm stupid, there was stuff on the desks that prevented them using the computer. Which is strange 'cos I've done that before but it was obviously too close this time. Thanks for your help!

    Is your game throwing any lastexceptions ?

    Can you check out the new digital sketch pad ? Does that have the same issue ?

    Did you try changing household to see if it's related to a certain household ?

  • Nothing on my desks except computer, I have tried normal game desks and computers and also CC ones and it doesn't matter - I hadn't added any new CC since the update, but this has been going on to the point I have started three new games (deleting the old ones) with no success. My Simmie just waves at me and "says I can't do that".
