Can't type
What it says in the subject line. I can use WASD to navigate, I can use the mouse, but I can't type into the Search box. I couldn't even name my sim -- I couldn't type in the bubbles. I had to randomize to give her a name. What could be up?
MmeHardy Please disable the EA App in-game overlay, under Settings > Application. If you use any other apps that come with overlays—Discord, Steam, etc.—disable those as well.
If that doesn't help, are you playing in fullscreen mode, and does windowed mode work better?
