Re: Sims 3 Cursor won't show, please help?

@weirdicat Hey, I know you don't want to reinstall, but perhaps a repair will help? 

Right-click the panel for the game and there should be a repair option. Try this then please check again. 


Thanks, let us know how you get on.

  • It still acts the same, I believe that it's something on my computer. Thanks for attempting to help, I appreciate it.

    Aye, I think you're right.


    One thing you can try is to restart your system with a Clean Boot, in case  there is interference from a 3rd-party program. I suspect that there isn't, but Clean Boot will help to discount a whole bunch of potential issues. 

    Perhaps changing the mouse settings will help. Try clicking Start > Contol Panel then Mouse. 


    Check the Pointer Options tab and untick Display Pointer Trails, then Apply. 

    Then untick "enable pointer shadow" under the Pointers tab, and apply again. 

    Then launch and check.

    If this had no effect, or the boxes were already unticked, you can try running the game in a different compatibility mode to test?

    Thanks.
