Cannot tab out of my game since the update!

I have been playing sims since the update, and since the update I cannot tab out of my game to look at anything. I know it's something quite trivial but I watch streams while gaming, or use spotify and I cannot engage or change the song or whatever. Your game should NOT be able to override people tabbing out. 
I am not the only one as I have asked.

& to state, I do not have any mods or CC in my game.
