Re: can't type in search bar/ keyboard partly not working

@rottenmeier  If you're running any apps that include overlays, e.g. Steam or Discord, please shut them down before launching Sims 4.  Disable the EA App in-game overlay as well; I believe it's under Settings > Application.

If that doesn't help, please switch the game to windowed mode and let me know whether it helps.  Even if you don't want to play like that going forward, it's a useful test.
