Mouse clicks do not work in character menu

[Max235]

Basically, the in game cursor (mouse) works in the settings menu (esc), but it does not work very well if at all in the character menu (tab [inventory/map/magic/skills]). The game appears to not register the mouse being there, as in will not move to the specific direction period. The game will work with the keyboard's arrow/wasd controls for the same directions, though.

 

In inventory and magic branches of the character menu, the keyboard is needed to navigate the main "sub-menus" for the purpose of finding and switching items/spells. I must use enter to equip them as normal. The scroll wheel and mouse do not work, but the cursor moves when the mouse is moved around.

 

On map and skill branches, the mouse is recognized and I can use it as I did before. No problems in either.

 

What I think is the problem might not be correct. I *think* it has something to do with an accidentally deleted file or a mod messing with the master files/default stuff.

 

 

Gamepad

I'm using what I consider a "gamepad". Now I'm pretty sure this thing is not a gamepad, since all it does is allow me to bind keys from my keyboard to its keys so I don't need to have the full keyboard in my hand. I have gamepadenable=0 setting thing in the .ini fileunder LAUNCHER, in case that actually affected anything.

 

 

Mods

Prior to the mouse menu problem, I was using a few mods. I ran into a system problem, so I rebooted, system restored, and reinstalled skyrim (among a number of non-skyrim programs), hopefully to fix those problems.

 

In case it was needed for more information, I had recently done a mod overhaul (basically rip out every mod and delete them, then re-download from nexus and start afresh).

 

Also in case something with the mod list might be doing something to affect the recognizing of the mouse, this is the list (and order) of the installed mods/DLC's. The order was arranged by BOSS program.

Summary: Keyboard works just fine for accessing character menu, magic, and items, but it feels awkward and I would like to use my mouse again. No idea what went wrong.

I run into a similar problem as I prefer to move around the world with a Xbox style controller. Unfortunately, Skyrim won't let me use a gamepad and a mouse at the same time. my lo-tech solution is to go into game settings and turn off game pad when I need to do inventory/console stuff, then turn it back on when ready to walk around again. its a pain in the ass, but it works for me.
