    Display Type in Options:  Fullscreen, Windowed, Windowed Fullscreen

    If that for some reason fixes it, I'd try using "Windowed Fullscreen" that way you wont even notice a difference.

    Not sure what else to suggest.  Possibly if the mouse is a performance mouse and has it's own software (like Razer or Logitec), try disabling the software?

    Make sure drivers are up to date on the computer I suppose... try a different mouse if you have one around.

    You could try renaming:

    C:\Users\<USER>\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4

    to "The Sims 4 BACKUP" and relaunch the game.  That should put a lot of things back to default if a setting got changed or something.... If you have saves/mods whatever else in the old folder you can copy those back or rename the entire folder back if it makes it worse for some reason.

    Does Windowed mode make any difference?  It just doesn't register clicks or the cursor is frozen too?

    Do you have a cordless mouse? If so, it sounds like you may only need to change your batteries. Otherwise it very well could be an issue with either your mouse or your settings or drivers for your mouse (or like the other person stated ... a possible software issue with your mouse depending on the type of mouse you are using). I would first check the batteries or connections to/for your mouse. I hope this helps! Best of luck.
