Mouse freezes on home screen.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.96.365.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Growing together, pastel pop kit, desert luxe kit, my wedding stories game pack, blooming rooms kit, industrial loft kit, dream home decorator game pack, cottage living, snowy escape, nifty knitting stuff pack, eco lifestyle, tiny living, discover university, realm of magic, island living, strangerville, get famous, seasons, jungle adventure, laundry day stuff, cats & dogs, toddler stuff, fitness stuff, parenthood, vampires, city living, backyard stuff, kids room stuff, dine out, romantic garden stuff, movie hangout stuff, get together, cool kitchen stuff, spa day, perfect patio stuff, luxury party stuff, get to work, outdoor retreat and holiday celebration stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure, when I load the game, as soon as its on the home page.
What happens when the bug occurs? my mouse just freezes. I cannot unfreeze it when the sims 4 is full screen, only if the sims window is minimized on my PC will the mouse not freeze.
What do you expect to see? The mouse frozen as soon as the game loads in full screen mode so I cannot play. I expect my mouse to be functional the entire time in full screen mode, not just when the window is minimized.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I have also purchased the pastel pop kit and it will not download. Every time I press download it just doesnt do it.

  • @lauramf2  Please close any apps that come with overlays: Steam, Discord, etc.  Make sure they're not running in the Task Manager either, including in the background processes list.  Disable the EA App in-game overlay as well, which you can do under Settings > Application.
