Is anyone having problem clicking on other sims? When i do it, nothing happens. Is there anything that i can do to solve the problem.
Yep, I have experienced this too. But, it was not until I added my new Mods folder setup with all my Mods in AND after seeing that pop up showing me which Script Mods I had installed. I'm not certain if that screen is just recognizing that those are script mods and is notifying me or if it's saying that those particular script mods are conflicting with core game files.
Probably the former. TS2 did the same thing. If a script mod conflicts, the game actually has a popup now that tells you a mod is out of date. I had one mod that conflicts with Ambitions, Jonha's hack to remove the limit on the number of CAS sliders, and I got a popup whenever I tried to run the game. The popup disappeared after I took that one mod out.
I haven't experimented with the new Mods folder yet. I hate to change anything that works as is, you know?

I've added the new Mods folder although I haven't added any custom furniture or hairstyles to my actual Sims yet; I chose a pre-made in the new town. But I do know it's working because my Mods were at least showing that they were broken (game recognizes the new setup). Hacks are really what's screwed. I fixed my problem with not being able to click on other Sims, by just removing the hacks that I have even though they didn't interfere with the core files (no in-game messages of conflicts). Once I removed the hacks, the one new save I have would not open. I forget the message but you can only click a check mark which takes you back to the main menu. So, I cleared my caches, removed only my hacks and kept my other CC (Clothing, Cars, Genetics) and restarted the game. I can open that save and click on Sims. BUT, their relationships with other people are all gone; they only know each other and their bosses.
EDIT: Sorry, all relationships have gone capput, not just friends but husband and wife are now strangers.
I don't think I'll be playing anymore for the time being. I know it's still pretty early to tell but, I wonder if it's just game modifying behavior that conflicts, like Twallan's mods, Book of Knowledge, gardening mods and such because everything else works. What hope do we have that AM will eventually work?
Simius:
Sometimes when I talk to the cashier at the consignment shop it doesn't bring up the buy menu. It doesn't matter if I select buy when talking to her or if I select buy on the cash register itself.
Only thing I've really noticed so far.
Edit: I've missed a few opportunities as the fire fighter because I didn't get notified that there was a fire. I'm not sure if that is the game being borked or if it is because I am unobservant though.

Hm, all these problems make me a little wary to install the game. Still, there are many people who claim to have no issues at all. I've already set up my game to install Ambitions once my torrent finally finishes. I've moved my entire Mods folder to my desktop so the game is 100% vanilla. I don't use custom music, so there's no need to remove it.
I do hope that solves any problems for when I do install Ambitions. I often find that a lot of problems with installing new patches or expansions could have easily been avoided by removing the entire Mods folder, first, and running the game vanilla before putting the Mods folder back in.

I ran my game vanilla for the first 4 Sim days just to see if there were any outright conflicts. And for the most part, there weren't any. As soon as I added hack type mods that change game behaviour, the problems started. EA tampering with hack type mods? Looks like it.
