Official Sims4 mouse side buttons don't work in-game

Since two updates of the game my side buttons on the mouse, which have a macro for page up and page down, don't work in-game. Settings are not changed, neither in SteelSeries. The buttons function outside of the game as page up and page down, but not in the game anymore. How to resolve this? I created new macros and new profiles for the mouse, all work well besides in the game, they don't do anything.

  • @Gerrejanne  Does this happen with both the Sims 4 and Sims 3 cameras enabled?  Please switch and restart your computer before testing.  I realize they shouldn't be related, but stranger things have happened.

    Please also test in both fullscreen and windowed modes, again restarting after switching and before testing.

    @puzzlezaddict Thanks for the help! I have indeed tested the fullscreen and windowed modes before, because I thought it would solve it, but unfortunately no. I don't have Sims 3 on my computer only Sims 4, and never had issues with the macro's I set for the side-buttons on the mouse since the update previously to the last.

    @Gerrejanne  I meant the Sims 3 camera style in Sims 4, which is an option if you click the camera icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.  I wouldn't expect you to test another game without asking first.

    @puzzlezaddict My game has always been in the Sims 3 camera style. I just switched to Sims 4 camera style and back to Sims 3 but it didn't solve the issue ☹️
