Controls Displayed on Screen

Just updated the sims 4 on my pc/laptop and now it’s displaying the controls on the left side. I have not messed with any settings at all, I even double checked to make sure I didn’t accidentally change anything and everything is still the same settings I’ve had. I tried repairing the game, removing mods/turning off mods and it still shows up. I googled to see if I maybe I did turn on some accessibility setting and nothing shows up for me to enable/disable in my own game settings. Just kind of bothered by it cause it quite literally is on my screen blocking my game. Oh and it disappears when I open the options menu and appears again when I resume my gameplay.

EDIT by crinrict: This is not a bug, it's a new feature. 

To get rid if it, use the steps given in the accepted solution. There's also step by step instructions here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2025/05/how-to-disable-enable-camera-help-icons/ 

  • Idk if my first comment actually posted, so just in case:

    Game Options > Tutorials & Tips > Disable Help Center Icon & Controls Legend.
