    Cannot use Build Mode

    Computer Specs:
    CPU- Pentum 4, 2.40 GHz
    RAM- 256 MB
    Free Hard Disk Space- 56.4 GB
    Total Hard Disk Space- 74.4 GB
    Graphic/Video Card- NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X
    Graphic/Video Card Driver Version- 5.6.7.3
    DirectX Version- I don't know. How do I find this?
    Windows XP SP3
    Sims 2 CD version, no expansion packs, no hacks, mods, or custom content.

    When I go into build mode, the rest of the game works fine, ie no crashes, can still save, etc. I can use Live mode and Build mode fine, as well. The grid in build mode will pop up, and I can freely select the tools, the little design window will pop up, etc. But when I go to put things down, the cursor stays a little pointer (I dunno if it should) and whenever I click and drag, click, etc, nothing happens. I've tried many tools, like wall tool, foundation tool, and floor tool, so I know it's not just one. To clarify, nothing in build mode works, but it shows the grid and the rest of the game works fine. Any ideas what's wrong? If you need me to clarify anything or post screenshots, just post.

    I have been having issues with the game too. I was unable to enter build buy mode, and was stuck in moving mode.
