Re: Mouse Stops Working As I Enter The Sims 4 Game

@BombiIRS010 Do you have another mouse you could try ? Do you have mouse trails on ?

To be sure I understand correctly what you're seeing: You see your mouse cursor but it doesn't move ?

  • Yes, I can see my cursor but it doesn't move. It freezes immediately when the loading screen starts. Then it reaches the home page where you can see all the exapansion packs and whatnot. The animations there work perfectly.  I completely removed all Mods and restarted my game.

    I don't have any other mouse. I'm not sure what mouse trails are. I can't move to open main menu. The only way for me to exit is to restart my computer

    @BombiIRS010 How do you have your mouse plugged in ? An USB ?

    Your graphics drivers are a bit dated. Could you try updating those ?
  • @crinrict I'm currently using my trackpad on my laptop. I had a USB mouse but it died months ago. Haven't used it since then. I'll try updating my drivers..I'm not entirely sure how to do that correctly...

    Edit:  Nevermind, I found some instructions 🙂

    Edit #2: I tried to update but Windows says that it's already up to date. I'm going to try uninstalling it and resetting my PC to see if it makes a difference. If not, I'm not really sure what to do afterwards. 

    Edit #3: Didn't work...

    @BombiIRS010 What didn't work ? Did you manage to update the drivers but still same issue or did updating not work ?

    Did it work with the trackpad before or did it basically stop working when you switched from mouse to trackpad ?
  • @crinrict I tried restarting the drivers when Windows said that it was all updated. I'm currently updating the drivers (at least I hope). Hopefully this works
