I have an unusual and irritating problem with the sims 2. It's all installed perfectly and the performance of the game is up to standard, but I seem to have a weird problem. Whenever I hover the cursor over another sim or generally try to interact with them then any existing actions that I've told my sim to do will be cancelled and their icons in the top left corner will vanish. If my sim is interacting with an object at the time then they will suddenly snap away from it, if they're lying on a bed for example and then I hover my cursor over another sim then my sim will suddenly be hovering in the air next to the bed and any interaction will be cancelled. :angry7:

It's really annoying so I'd appreciate any ideas about why it's doing this.

Thanks in advance.
