Why can’t I click on clothes on my sims?

For some reason, after the latest update my game has been acting really weird. First example, some little icons don’t load up it has that llama sign on for example if I’m at the start menu on the sims startup on the left where it says all the game packs etc. Some icons just don’t load up it just shows that llama sign but some other do. Now in create a sim I was trying to change my sims clothes and it won’t even let me click on the shoes or clothes or jeans or anything. When I try it just shows the sims 4 cursor and then the camera logo ( to spin around). What do I do??

  • @kyvlies  I've moved your post to the Sims 4 PC tech section.

    Try repairing the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.  This should at least fix the llama icons, but let me know if it doesn't.

    For the cursor issues, please disable any overlays you have running alongside the game.  Disable Origin in-game as well.  For the global setting, hover over your username, select Application Settings, then More > Origin in-game to see the setting.  Then right-click on the Sims 4 icon in your game library, choose Game Properties, and uncheck the box next to Origin in-game.

    Sims 4 problem, similar. Experience:

    My daughter has been playing Sims 4 (I refuse and stuck to Sims 2 lol) and used to be able to click on the sim in the creator screen and change their clothes and etc as she creates her new sim family. But now suddenly it doesn't work. Every time she clicks on the Sim she's making the cursor turns in to a camera or movie icon, something like that, and nothing happens. I read the answer below and tried reparing the Sims 4 game files. You have to click on game library and and right click on the Sims 4 game icon in that part of the app.. It took a few minutes. I opened Sims 4 through the origin app and it was fixed. Thank you.

    I'm wondering what's breaking everyone's games that they have to keep doing a "Game repair" to fix it? What's corrupting everyone's files so often?  I've never had that happen myself.
