    I had this exact problem and finally managed to find a solution! Someone commented about it in another forum. You need to disable origin in game.
    If you don't know how to do that, it's super easy. Open origin, go to Game Library, find Sims 4 and right click on it. Then click 'Game Properties', and then "Disable Origin In Game for The Sims™ 4 Collector's Edition". It fixed the issue for me so I hope it does for you too!

I have the same exact problem. The reason we can't click a certain area on the middle right of the screen is because there is a notification popping up as an overlay. So to prevent the notifications from interrupting the game, do the following:
 
follow the steps below to disable the Optimal Resolution Notification:
  1. Right click on the on the empty area on the Desktop.
  2. Select Graphics options
  3. Balloon Notification
  4.  Optimal Resolution Notification
  5. Disable.

When you get back into the sims 4, you will notice that you can click in that area again. Do not remove any of your mods or CC's because they are not the root of the problem. (I'm telling you his from experience). 

Good luck and happy gaming.

@janecemartial Thank you!! This was my exact problem. I didn't even bother disabling anything- simply alt+tab'd to the desktop and closed the pesky notification. Once that was gone everything worked perfectly. I never would've thought of that XD
