Several interactions are missing
For some reason I'm not able to interact with several things. Bookshelves, bars, and chess tables don't light up at all when I mouse over them. It makes a sound when I click on them, but nothing else...
@CodingInDMinor It does sound like there's something very wrong with your old saves. Starting a new save with these same sims is probably the best call. You could always use money cheats to give them back what you think they should have too.
