Why doesn't Sims 2 mouse on laptop won't work?

If the mouse in The Sims 2 isn't working on your laptop, it could be due to several reasons. Check if your laptop's touchpad is enabled or if an external mouse is properly connected. Additionally, ensure that your game settings allow for mouse input and that your graphics drivers are up to date. Lastly, try running the game in compatibility mode or as an administrator, as this can sometimes resolve input issues.
