wall tool jumps across lot

 

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.98.158.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go in to build mode on any lot and try to build walls, rooms or fences.
What happens when the bug occurs? The cursor keeps bouncing outside of the lot and building walls diagonally through the lot. It is really hard to get the wall to be built where I want it to.
What do you expect to see? A wall/fence/room built where I am dragging it.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I've been having this issue for years. I recently moved across the country, bought an entirely new gaming setup, and the bug followed me. No CC, No mods, nothing. Fresh, brand new install of the game on a brand new computer - and the bug was there. I don't know if this is a PC setting (mouse/DPI/etc) or a Sims setting. I've tweaked every setting (windowed, full screen, windowed borderless, graphics presets, camera options, everything) but nothing helps.

Any ideas/thoughts?

    @AshenJustin  Have you tried a different mouse? I have a Kensington Expert Mouse and that's what happens when dust gets in it. What is the make and model of your mouse?

  • @roberta591 I just tried 3 different mice that I have, issue remained. I use a Logitech G403 Hero. I just tried a Logitech M705, a Glorious Model O, and a Corsair Katar Pro. No improvements. 

  • @AshenJustin    Hi!  I've experienced this also but only recently; maybe within the last few months or so.  The wall tool and the room tool are super jumpy and all over the place.  I have to go really slow and make sure I place walls/rooms in just the right spot before placing.  At first I thought maybe my camera was still moving after panning or turning but it also happens when the camera is perfectly still.
