Right click no doing anything but camera rotating

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? 4
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? None
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure, was trying to enable the cas.fulleditmode cheat and all of a sudden it started.
What happens when the bug occurs? My right click does nothing but rotate the camera or moves my view to whatever sim I'm clicking on. It brings up no menus at all, even the usual one with no cheats. Shift + right click doesn't do anything either. I'm kind of devastated about it.
What do you expect to see? The options that used to pop up without the cheat at the very least. Cheat needs etc, absolutely nothing comes up right now.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

‌

While trying to enable the cas/fulleditmode cheat, it brought up that menu, but when I went in, I couldn't edit ages or anything. When I went back into the game to try again, my right click all of a sudden didn't do anything. I can use it to rotate the camera or jump my view to a sim, but that's it. Absolutely nothing else pops up at all. Not even the cheat needs option etc that would be there without the cas.fulleditmode cheat. I use it rather often and I can't figure out how to fix it. I've repaired the game in origin, and no change. I even tried starting a new game and it was the same thing. Someone please help me!

    Hi @HashtagDiva 

    moved your post to tech for troubleshooting

    Do you have issues with your mouse on any other games at all ? Is it just the right-click that behave abnormally ?

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    It still didn't work for me. My right click works for everything but Sims 4, and I don't really play any other games. But it works in the browser and desk top etc.

    I don't currently have any mods or anything for it. The only thing I was doing was using cheats. Everything else seems to be working normally except for the right click.
