Hi i just installed sims and all expansions up to showtime on my mac today. It is currently up to date. But for some reason, my mouse wont work. I see the cursor, i can move it, and i can highlight things, but for some reason i cant click on anything. And its not like the game froze, cause when i press f5 the menu comes up but i cant click on anything. I tried 3 different mouses. I cant left click or right click. i am on a mac, is there any settings i can change maybe? Also maybe this will help but when i click sometimes whatevers on the desktop quickly comes up. Like If i was on Facebook, and i turned on sims 3, when i click i could see my Facebook page for a quick second and then it would go back to the game. I already uninstalled and installed it and the same thing happened. I dont think its the mouse because the mouse has never done this. Also it works on the sims 3 startup menu. It just wont work while its in the game.



*** ive also closed all programs and it still does the whole facebook thing, but this time it only shows the desktop.

Do you have issues with the mouse outside of the game?

What mouse model is this, wired/wireless/bluetooth? All the mouse you tested is of the same model? Or some are trackpads, etc?
What OSX version?
What base game version? Game Help:Patch_Table
Are you playing in Fullscreen or Windowed (CMD + Return)?
If on Lion, is the Mac's Mouse setting still on that backward/upside-down scroll setting?

This is the first time playing Sims 3 on this Mac? Can we see specs?Post your system specs:
About This Mac (top left corner of your screen) > More Info, and then copy + paste what it says there in Hardware Overview and Graphics.

And post info like the following example:
Macbook Pro - 13 inch Mid 2009
Processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
