If it doesn't, try a clean boot: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
If it works in that mode, then it's a background program interfering and you will need to find out which one.

If that was the case I'd see this in every other game which I don't.
However I spent this morning *reinstalling* windows and that means I formatted the drive and did a *clean* install. The first thing I did was running sims 4 after origin was updated. The same problem still remains. It's pretty obvious that the more recent patches does something on certain systems what it could be I have no idea. Like I said this issue started a few months back(when I lasted played sims 4). I really thought the windows reinstall would fix this but it did not.
Edit: After rolling my face over the keyboard I noticed that TAB moves the camera down and BACKSPACE moves the camera to the right. I couldn't find any other movement keys. I'm curious is this normal for everyone else? I also tried another keyboard and same thing.

Which camera mode are you using ? Did you invert scrolling ? What happens if you set the keyboard setting to US keyboard layout ?- 5 years ago
I've given up for now. The problem, whatever it could be, is obviously hardware related in some way. And since literally *everything* else works just as expected on the computer I'm not even going to bother any more. This issue is only tied to Sims 4 and the camera movement using WASD/arrow keys. Every other hotkey binding works(went through a listing on a site). WASD and the arrows keys(like I stated earlier) works just fine in the sims console.
As for the language things I've been through that multiple times. It was the first thing I suspected to be wrong. I mean let's be honest if a clean install of windows on a formatted drive, clean install of the game doesn't work then the issue is not going to be solved easily.
Edit: Please answer me this before I leave, if you click on TAB or BACKSPACE in the game does it move the camera?
