When I open the menus that are topdown, my cursor freezes and does not move on both the mouse and the touchpad

When I open topdown menus like the one to donate items to the museum my cursor freezes so I can't even build a silo

That happens when the game doesn't detect the gamepad mode correctly. To fix it:

1. Load your save.
2. Open the in-game menu and go to the options.
3. Set the Gamepad Mode option to either Force On (if you use a controller) or Force Off (if you use a keyboard and mouse).
