Can't make sim do action

Help! Hi,
I've been playing the Sims 2 for forever and I recently installed it onto my computer again. I can play the game just fine and there's nothing wrong with the building of houses and making of families. However, when I go to actually play the game; I would click on something and the little menu with the Sims head in the middle with all the options pops up, then without clicking again; the menu disappears. I have like a (no exaggeration) 0.4 second window to choose the option I want. This happens every time and sometimes the window stays up longer, other times it doesn't even pop up.
I uninstalled then reinstalled the game, but it didn't help. 
Please help me, I have no idea what is going on!I don't have any custom content

If you deinstall, do you check the option to delete all the settings and saves?
If that isnt available, you should search your pc for any sim-related files after deinstalling and delete them too.
Then try installing the game again.
If that doesn't fix the problem I guess the only thing you can do is reinstall the whole PC, though I would not advise doing that for just one game.

The Sims 2 Freetime or The Sims 2 Apartment Life Wont Launch When Installed. After I Uninstall Them I Am Allowed To Play With Seasons. IVe Previously Played Freetime Before But Now It Just Wont Launch....

Make sure you have the original The Sims 2 game, Seasons,Freetime and Apartment Life are just expansion packs to the Original Game. Without the original game the expansions won't work.

If that's not the problem, then make sure they are installed correctly. If you used download m, most likely theyanagerare corrupted.


(Plus just as an extra question, why were you trying to play The Sims 2 a day before The Sims 3 came out, I couldn't sleep.)
