    I'm having the same issue, however it's not all the sims in my household, only the kids. I thought it would fix after aging them to teens but nothing. The YA can use them just fine, even visiting kids were able to use them. Not sure how a mod would only affect 2 sims. Also it was working fine before (like yesterday) and I haven't added any new mods. They can use laptop when selecting in while in their inventory but actually clicking on it does nothing.

    @qgrk3wwrx5y1 I suppose it may be possible that the Mod has an oversight in who it tags for access or not (since the household children are not allowed but visiting children are)? Did you try removing the Mod and cache file to see if the issue persists? If you have more than one Mod/CC the manner in which a glitch shows up that is caused by the Mod/CC conflict is not always logical (for instance, a Mod/CC that has nothing to do with computers or computer settings could be causing this). The way to track down if this is the issue is to troubleshoot it:

    Spoiler
    Try moving the Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring. You can test without saving in order to identify which CC/Mods are causing the issue, then remove or add updated version(s) of the Mod/CC causing the issue.

    @qgrk3wwrx5y1 I'm so happy to hear that!! 🙌 What a relief! Can you please share the name of the Mod per the request of @TheHolyTrinityyy  and possibly others facing this? You never know, there is at least a possibility it's one they have. Also, when you say 'old files', do you mean that you updated the mod but also left an old mod in, or do you mean some other type of old file?

  • Adeepindigo's education overhaul. Updating to their latest version worked for me!

    @qgrk3wwrx5y1 Awesome!! Thank you for sharing that information!

    @TheHolyTrinityyy Please check  the comment qgrk3wwrx5y1  made (above) with the name of the Mod and what worked for him/her to fix it. Btw... love your username! 'Me Too' to that one! 🙂
