Hi everyone,
Thanks for sharing your experiences and workarounds with your fellow Simmers!
We released a patch for The Sims 4 on console a week ago - are you still experiencing this after the update?
-Mai
I can't believe I'm starting to have the same problem that people had years ago.
Can we get some resolution to this please?
Also getting this problem since the newest update, makes the game completely unplayable :/
Same here...twice today had to restart Xbox due to this problem.
I have also noticed this problem on PS4 since the last update. It has happened on two occasions and both were when my sims were photographing. When I leave photo mode there is no cursor. The only thing that helps is to restart the entire game.

This is the same issue I am having...every time I photograph something my cursor disappears! I have tried everything to get it back but so far the only thing that works is completely closing out of the game and restarting. I never had this problem until the most recent update either and it is so frustrating!
I just tried going into first person view then going back to the regular camera it came back!
HI! I’ve found a solution for this problem. When this occurs you need to try and click free cam mode at the top right screen, move around a bit than press circle ⭕️! It should reappear afterwards! Works for me every time! Good luck
Thank you! I’ve been force closing the game and reloading. It’s been a pain. This worked like a charm!
I never thought of trying that, thanks for the suggestion! My cursor has been obediently visible lately but I'll keep that in mind if it happens again. 🙂
Same problem here. Looks like it may be simply invisible. But it's annoying as hell. Tried just about everything
Same here. PS4, all expansions, cursor suddenly not visible mid game. Have to spend another 10 minutes rebooting the entire game, because hopping back to manage worlds does not fix it.
My cursor is disappearing after I try to take a photo! The game still runs but I can't see where I am clicking. I have to restart the entire xbox which is very annoying
I’ve been having this problem too, it happened to me
twice just now and I had to restart the game each time. It was a problem that they had before and fixed and looks like it’s back again.
Same thing happens on PS4.
You don’t have to restart the whole console tho (which I found out a hard way lol), hold the right stick on controler to enter first person camera mode and then hold again to exit it and cursor should reappear.
Annoying bug tho
OMG Thank you!!! I didn't think of this. I pressed the buttons and analog stick down hard (as if that would do something, lol) and nothing worked but restarting the console. I'll definitely try this later. I've been saving any picture taking for when i'm done playing the game so i could just do one shut down.
I just wish the the travel crashing problem had an easy workaround too.
I literally just recently downloaded sims vampires today and that is when i began experiencing this problem on my xbox!! Never happened before and i have been playing the game for almost a year. I have to save the game and restart my whole darn console to get it back.
For the last FEW MONTHS if you use the camera, the cursor disappears and you have to clear the cache in order to continue playing. This is unacceptable. Please fix it.
