However in build mode, when I need to move around the lot, I can move forward and side to side but at the bottom of the screen, where the build mode gallery is, won't let me move the mouse down there to scroll backwards. It hesitates and moves just a tiny bit but it's not smooth and definitely doesn't move far enough. I don't know if it's the gallery with the walls/floors/furniture etc. is that...

It's been a while since I've been here. I'm not sure where else to turn for help.
I've been to reddit and EA support neither have helped.
I recently decided to reinstall TS3 back onto my computer, I was prompted to update, so I did. When I opened the launcher back up a dialogue box popped up saying an error occurred and that I should check the log for more details. So I went to TS3 files to check the log, the log was not there where it usually is. I...

Here is how it happens:
  1. I open my save game/start a new save game.
  2. Enter CAS.
  3. Create my sim/s then click to proceed to the screen where you edit relationships.
  4. The processing sign comes up and I wait.
  5. 15 mins later and it is still "processing".
What should I do?

How do I get rid of it?
