Sims 4 Bug? Can't interact with objects or other Sims! HELP!

★★ Novice

So I have gone through the process of trying to fix this problem myself but obviously that didn't work. My problem is that in game I can't interact with any objects or Sims. I can open the phone, inventory, etc. but interactions don't happen. I have tried removing CC, that didn't work. With CC removed I tried restoring all gaming options to default. Restarting both game and computer, re-installing, changing the compatibility of the game, and still nothing works. 

 

My game at this point is unplayable due to the fact that I can't interact with anything in game. CAS works normally, Main menu, and both worlds function properly. I'm at wits end here and would really like some help. Please. I love the Sims games. I have played all of them and I have never come across an issue I couldn't work around or fix myself. I would hate for this to be the breaking point.

Does the GUI and build mode work ?

 

If not, try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199 (not sure if that's what you've already tried)

 

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

 

Try on a new game first without putting anything back.

Build mode works/ I can open the gallery and all that, but the pie wheels interactions that should come up when clicking on other sims or objects don't show. My sims walk around and move like nothing is wrong.

 

I made a back up and started the game like it was new and the problem is still there. I can't interact with other sims or objects.

Sounds like you have this issue then: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/Sims-4-game-breaking-bug-can-t-click-anything-beyond...

 

Could you confirm so I can merge your thread.

 

There's a few workarounds in the thread.

Yeah that's my problem! I read through there and I saw a couple people switched the display settings in Windows to medium 125%. I tried it and it fixed my problem, for now that is. 

 

Thanks for your help! I'm gonna keep checking to see if there's a better/permanent solution. Maybe the next update or patch will fix it? Thanks again!
