In-Game Computers Not Working
I've been playing in this save for weeks and the computers/laptops have always worked, until today. No matter what I do, I can't click on them. My Sims can still interact autonomously, like playing v...

@maimewylie Bit unsure, do you not have the interactions on the computer or do the Sims just not do them ?
If it's the latter, have you tried sitting down first ? Do you have a lo of clutter on the desk ?

There's no interactions at all. The menu just doesn't appear. I haven't tried having them sit down first, but it shouldn't be an issue because I took all the clutter off the desk and tried the dining table too, but it still didn't work... I'm really at a loss for what else to try.
HI @maimewylie
Try the following
- Close the game
- Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
- Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
- Close the game again
- Copy JUST your save game from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old\Saves to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Saves
- Start your save
- Check if you still have the error
- Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
Okay, so before I saw this, I tried to run it again and still had issues, so I went back to my newest file, the "Troubleshooting" save, and suddenly had the same bug there too. Now, I'll be honest, I don't know how to tell my saves apart when looking at the slot numbers, so when I followed the steps, I copied the whole folder over instead. But, when I opened up Troubleshooting, the issue was fixed. I play with a significant amount of mods so I don't want to open up the file where the issue first cropped up without them in there as well in case it corrupts, because I've had that happen before and I would cry (/hj).
Thank you so much for the help btw!
- @maimewylie Just test on a backup of the save without mods/cc. You can then always go back to that backup if anything goes wrong.
It does sound like a mod issue so I'm moving this to mods/cc for now.
