Re: mouse cursor wont change to sims 4 version

Okay, so this is a weird thing, idk if I'm the only one who is having this problem. So yesterday I booted up sims 4 and I noticed that my mouse didn't change from normal pc mouse to in game mouse. So I shut it down and rebooted the game and it still didn't change. I tried deleting the two mods I downloaded yesterday, repair and update game but that didn't work. Any advice on what I should do?

    Please try starting a new game and see if you have the same issue there.

  • did that, also tried to delete my last save and it did nothing. Would uninstalling and reinstalling work?

    It might. I have seen one or two posts on this. I don't think it was solved.

    Before uninstalling and reinstalling the game, if you haven't yet try these tips:

    1. Turn off Origin In-Game:
    Open Origin, Select Origin > Application Settings > Origin In Game and click the on/off switch to disable Origin In Game.

    2. Turn off Discord and it's overlay software. This has been reported causing issues with Sims 4.

    3. Turn off "Display Pointer Trails" in the mouse control panel option.

    Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Select Mouse > Pointer Options. Under Visibility, un check the Display pointer trails.
