Lately when I try to drag an item from my sims inventory to either sell it or place it on the world the item will get stuck in the hand, and not let me sell, place, or do anything else with it. I can't put the item down, or pick others up. Anyone else having this issue? I've had it happen a few times now. Last time it was fixed my loading an earlier save, but this time I didn't have an earlier save as the game autosaved after this happened. I've tried reseting the sim, but since it's not the sim that is messed up it doesn't help. Also tried exiting the game completely and restarting but still have the issue. Anyone else experience this? What did you do to fix it?

I also got the inventory and mailbox glitch with that patch, but will report those bugs in the other threads for those when I find them.
I tried that but it didn't work. I had to completely close the game. I will try that next time it happens though. Seems to happen mostly when I try to drag a bunch of stuff to sell out of their inventory.

When I am selling things in inventory, or even moving things to the fridge, I have noticed that sometimes a stack of items I have just sold still appears to be in the inventory. If you are not paying attention to what you have sold, you may not realize you already did this stack of items (flowers, eggs, or whatever) and try to do it again, thinking it is another stack of items still needing to be gotten rid of. This is when the hand gets *stuck*, as it is not really there anymore, so it can't do anything with it.
If you pay attention and see that the stack you just sold (and got money for) still shows, don't click on it again. Just close the inventory, and reopen it. You will find those items are no longer there; they have been cleared. So far, this has kept me from having my hand get stuck. I did test it out, and if you click on it a second time when it's not really there anymore, the hand will become stuck into a fist, sometimes with the item on it, but sometimes just a fist without the item showing.
I'm not saying it's a solution to the entire problem, but it has helped me somewhat, so I hope it can help others also.
I agree with this.
Yep. Good eye. That's how it happened for me too. I was putting paintings up on the wall of my sims gallery and I clicked on a painting a second time even though it was hanging on the wall, it was still in inventory. After trying to move it out again is when I got the stuck hand.
Hello.
Simmers have found that it can help when the issue happens, to do this :
Try dragging a painting off an easel or moving a painting on the wall, and that can unstick the cursor.
