Hey, for me the trouble loading clothes in create a sim did get better after one of the updates. And I noticed if i press the windows button to go out of the game/minimize the game and then go back into the game the sims 4 cursor goes back to the way it should be. Hope this helps you!

Hello! The fix to this bug (if playing on windows) is to click on the windows button on your keyboard (without closing out of the game or map screen) and click on the game again to resume. its less a game bug more your pc is glitching out. i have this problem with other games where it trys to click on other programs opened behind the game. Hope this fixes your problem!

Hey I dont know if this will help anyone now, but I have been having these problems for awhile now to, and I just fixed mine by turning all my graphics on low. I also turned my game to windowed fullscreen.

 

So like I went into graphics under the drop down window and just turned every setting to low and I dont have any of the boxes checked. I hope this helps

So I'm having the same issue with a portion of my screen not being able to click on on the right side of my screen. It only happens in my game and it only recently started. Ive tried repairing my game but nothing fixes it.

Hi there @rcross9472 ,

 

You might want to make sure you have the latest GPU (graphics card) drivers, otherwise the game misbehaves. 

 

Additionally, if the above doesn't work, then try performing a clean boot before opening the game :3. It should help.

Do let me know how it goes ^_^. 

Have a nice week ahead Cat

@HarleyQuinn2922 I tried the clean boot, and was still unable to use the right side of the screen. Thanks to the new update, I can't even load my saved games. IS there anything else that might work?

Hello ^_^! 

 

I'm sad to hear clean boot didn't work for you Frown

 

By any chance, do you have mods/custom content added or do you have the base game and its own DLCs? :3

@Rocket_TiaI’m having the same problem. A few months ago it started off with not being able to choose different swatches...now I can’t click on the load games on the new home screen. I can either use the big play button or new game. Which means I can’t play my other saves. I’m regretting updating at all now.

 

ETA: I tried the full screen window option and I was able to use the load games selection. I checked the swatches and it seems I can now select any that I want my sim to wear. Now I’ll check and see if the homes I couldn’t click on the far right are now accessible. But so far so good.
