Please use this thread going forward: [PS] Scrolling too fast randomly | EA Forums - 11895188
I just downloaded the Sims 4 onto my new PS4, and I'm having this crazy cursor issue to the extreme. Every single menu I'm on, it skips from the top of the icons to the bottom, and doesn't let me choose anything in-between. Happens in Create a Sim, the main menu-every menu. I've put cursor speed at 50%, makes no difference. It briefly highlights the middle icons/options, but quickly bypasses them and goes straight from top to bottom and bottom to top of the screen. I've read all the controls, exited out of the game, but this glitch still happens.
I thought I was doing something wrong, but I'm being so careful about barely even touching the arrow keys, and they still fly across the screen and bypass 70% of the icons!!
Please help 🙂 I don't know what to do....
has yours been fixed? i’m dealing with this problem rn 😭
This still happens in PS4 - I think it happens when I have been playing for an extended period of time. Three things I do to make it stop. 1. Save the game. 2. Save the game and switch to Build/Live depending on the mode I am presently in then save again. 2. Save then restart the Sims 4. Restarting the Sims 4 always works.
I second this. The rapid scrolling is a persistant issue that has been going on for a long time. It usually happens in CAS for me.
Normally, I have a tendency to leave my game open for days at a time. My PS4 goes into sleep mode without closing the game.
It doesn't happen the first time I open CAS, but if I open CAS multiple times, it'll start to bug. Adjusting the setting for cursor speed does not fix this.
Usually, I have to restart the game to fix it.
Because I play with merfolk, there are a few different ways I enter CAS. For a while, I'd use the cheat to "Modify Sim" to change outfits. There aren't merfolk unique build mode items, so when I play my merfolk households, the only build mode Item I tend to use to enter CAS is a mirror. It's the only build mode item that works while merfolk are in the water.
After some later updates, I started entering CAS using the option in Simology. Old habits die hard, and I still go into CAS via the Modify Sim Option.
Most of the time, this bug happens while entering CAS from Live Mode. If I go to manage households from the Manage Worlds Screen, it happens less often, but it's also don't use this option to enter CAS often.
Before the game became free, I recently entered CAS from the Manage World Screen. I encountered the rapid scrolling bug after I entered CAS with the third or fourth household.
So, I've noticed that it happens when I play for a long time, and/ or when I go in and out of CAS frequently.
I hope this info helps. I recently deleted all my screenshots and captures, so I'll have to take new screenshots for any more details. I've been playing the Sims 4 on the Console for a long time. In hindsight, I'm kinda regretting the deletion of my screenshots. I've captured dozens of bugs with Sims 4 on the PS4 and spent almost as much time in the Sims Forums sharing what I've done to work around and solve the problems I encountered.
Sorry about my edits. My English Degree makes it hard to accept typos.
