Can't click on or select things on the far right side of screen

[KatCannon]

This 100% solved my problem! I read your comment and remembered seeing a notification the same size and in the same part of the screen I was having issues with, everytime I closed the game.

This time when I booted the game, I hit the windows key to minimize the game then cleared the notification. Reentered the game and problem solved. 

Thank you so much for your insight.

Was this ever resolved for you? Mine does this same thing.

@mrshsmiles10  This is usually related to having notifications enabled in Windows.  Although you may not see the notification itself, your computer thinks you're clicking that and not the game.  Disable notifications while you're playing and see whether it helps.

I've been having this issue for 2 years with my game.  It works sometimes and other times it doesn't.  It is quite frustrating because my Sim needs to do homework and I can't drag it from the bookshelf into his inventory because my cursor won't select anything on the far right side.

The only game or application I have this issue with is the Sims.

@Jacquelinda1989 - did you try the suggestion from @puzzlezaddict to Disable Notifications?

If it's happening sometimes but not other times, there's probably a notification (underneath the game window) that is blocking what you're trying to do in the game. You can alt-tab to get to whatever is waiting for your input, and clear the message so your game will work properly.

Mine game does the same thing and has been for a very long time. I got a new computer and started fresh... same problem.

I only have Parenthood and Cool kitchen and it does it for me too. It was doing it before I even got my expansions. I've tried debugging it and everything and nothing has seemed to work

If you can't follow instructions from the link given above by BlackJackWidow
https://www.howtogeek.com/344496/how-to-disable-notifications-on-windows-10/
try to change the resolution of the screen in the game option. Try the highest first. You can also try to play in windowed mode. It can move your screen from the place where Windows displays these notifications.

I don't work for EA

I'm only experiencing this bug myslef in 7 Days to Die. Your'e right, its an ingame bug. Restarting the computer bought me a couple days before the bug returned. Have you tried dad?
