When my sims are in bodies of water, such as the river in Mt. Komorebi, I can't click on them. Or rather, I click on them, and nothing happens. This is very annoying. I can't make my sims splash each other or anything, because none of the options come up when I click.

Could you please provide the following information
Oops. I am using mods, and it turns out it is a mod issue. Testing to figure out the culprit. I'll remove the report. Sorry, rookie mistake.
Or...I would remove the report if I knew how. Sorry about that.
I moved this over to the mod forum then.
Would be great if you could post the culprit if someone else has the same issue (unless it's an adult mod, then just say it was an adult mod)
Thank you!
This is so embarrassing, but it turns out I just needed to update my script mods. I don't know which one was precisely the problem, but these are the mods I updated:
Home Regions by Kuttoe
Lot 51's core library
I also removed Carl's double inventory fix, because the problem it was meant to fix was apparently fixed ages ago.
I also re-downloaded Control Any Sim and Roburky's Meaningful Stories, just to make sure.
Roxythefantastic Do note that there are multiple reported issues with Control Any Sim. If you run into other problems, start with deleting it.
Thank you! I also just tested the bug, and it turns out it wasn't mod-related after all. Weirdly enough, it's a sexual orientation problem. Going to post it again in case the workaround helps someone else. I wish I could delete this post. I don't want to clutter the forum by mentioning the same thing twice.
I thought this was a mod issue, but it's not. I figured out what's causing it. I'm posting it here, in case someone has a similar problem.
While my sims were swimming in the river at Mt. Komorebi, I could click on some of them, but not others.
It turns out that my sims can only click on a sim in the water if that sim belongs to a gender they can woohoo. This includes the sim themselves.
For instance, while in the water, a female sim who can woohoo men cannot click on herself or on her female friend, but she can click on a man in the water.
A female sim who can woohoo women can click on herself in the water and on her female friend in the water, but she can't click on a man in the water.
A female sim who isn't interested in woohoo with anyone can't click on herself in the water, nor can she click on her female friend, nor a man in the water.
I've tested it multiple times, and this applies only to the gender the sim is interested in woohoo with. Romantic orientation doesn't seem to have an effect.
I'm using the version of the Sims that's most recent on this date (February 1, 2026), and I play on PC.
To work around it, before I get into the water, I just change the sim's sexual orientation so that they're interested in woohoo with women and men, and then they seem to be able to click on anyone. When I'm finished with them in the water, I change their orientation back.
I hope this helps.
I merged your posts and moved this back as it's better to keep the whole context. Please add any info you found to your first post and also adjust the title accordingly to reflect. You can edit your post by clicking on the cogwheel in the upper right corner.
I can confirm your bug since I have the similar one like the information you gave. I tested it without any mod/CC installation. The bug still occurs. Then I do like you said. "Change sexual orientation" to have them interest WooHooing with both men and women, after that I can click on the self-interaction while that sim is being in the water again.
