WASD movement key not working Sims 4

Neather WASD or arrow-keys nor point or comma keys does not work. What i have already done: 

- repair game

- uninstall & reinstall game

- uninstall & reinstall origin

- remove all folders and place them back in one by one

Nothing seems to be working.

  • @jjtikka  Do you have any overlays running alongside the game?  If so, please try disabling them.  Disable Origin in-game as well: hover over your username, select Application Settings, then the Origin in-game header, and disable the option at the top.

    If that doesn't help, please remove the entire Sims 4 folder from Documents\Electronic Arts, let the game create a new folder, and add nothing back in, at least until you test.  Let me know whether you can use those keys in a completely clean folder or not.

  • @jjtikka Also, If you have any keyboard software running like Logitech Gaming software and such, try closing or quitting the program before running The Sims.

    I don’t have any overlays and actually that ”creating a new folder” i’ve done a few times, doesn’t help. And origin in-game is already disabled.

    Well, clean booting basically broke my whole computer so no, that really didn’t work...

    @jjtikka Lol... You're having a tough time aren't you?

    Well, you've tried everything else, only thing left... Try a new keyboard.

    @jjtikka  A clean boot should never break your computer.  What happened when you tried it?

    And yes, it would be useful to test with a different keyboard.  Maybe you can borrow one temporarily from a friend or family member.
