Sims 4 keys don't work with Discord in the background

Btw this issue occurs without mods but whenever i have Discord open, when i get in to Sims 4 i can't change speed with keys, can't pause with ESC key, nothing at all except the WASD/Arrow keys work, it is really irritating and i would kindly love a fix for this, i do rely on Keys to quickly pause or change the speed. But after the recent patch i tried to launch the game without Discord nor snip and sketch and it still doesn't work

  • Jesper123456​  Please disable the Discord overlay.  If that doesn't work, you can always use Discord in a browser while playing rather than opening the app.  But make sure Discord is in fact not running, even in the Task Manager's background processes list.

    If you can't type now, with nothing else running in the background, and you've confirmed that nothing is open in the Task Manager, please try putting the game into windowed mode.  If you can't change the setting in-game, you can edit Options.ini, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, to set fullscreen to 0 (zero).
