    adaskob  Thanks for the dxdiag, which lists a few BlueScreens.  Are these happening while you're playing Sims 4?  They'd cause a computer shutdown, of course, but you might not see the BSOD itself.

    For the issue you've described, it's possible your computer has some kind of notification or other window behind the area where you can't click and is acting as if you're clicking that instead.  So as a test, please put the game into windowed mode at a lower resoluton than your screen, so anything significantly lower than 2880x1920, and move the game window as far up and to the left as it will go.  Then try clicking the same area of the game window.

    If this works, switch the resolution back to 2880x1920, or as close as you can get, while still staying in windowed mode, and test again.

    And of course if you see an actual notification on-screen while you're playing, let me know what it says.
