Can't Full Screen Without Having Cursor Calibration Issues

Hello, yesterday I mirrored my MAC screen to another laptop (my own), since then my sims 4 has been having mouse calibration issues on top of other things. 

When I go into full screen, the sims 4 title on the top of the window will not go away. This in turn has made it so that my cursor to click onto anything has to be below the object I want to click on, instead of the usual click onto the object to select. 

I've tried resetting my computer, restoring the game, opening and closing the app/game. Nothing seems to be working. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue? I attached an image below to give an example of what my screen looks like.

  • I think this white title bar showed up after accidentally activating Split View, I don’t want the title bar on my game all the time.  

    I want to play full screen with no white title bar, how can I get rid of it?  See on the screen shot, even in full screen it’s still showing.

     

    thank you ,  bless up

    I've restarted the game over and over and keep repairing the game also, but nothing seems to be working. The gray bar on top will not go away.

    Since the latest sims 4 update, when playing on my Macbook running Tahoe 26.3, there is a white title bar at the top of all screens. The title bar makes it so that when i am trying to click on something in game, I have to actually click slightly further down on the screen in order to click what I want to, making it quite hard to play. I have played around with the resolution and other settings.

    Hey. Did you get this sorted? I’m having the same issue on my MacBook and it’s made gameplay impossible. I tried retina settings, split view isn’t an option on mine, tried full screen windowed etc. nothing helps!!

    When did this appear for you? You must have changed a setting in System Settings > Desktop & Dock or maybe you hooked your Mac up to an external display at some point? 

    What are your settings? Please post a screenshot of this part of System Settings > Desktop & Dock.

    Hi. Thanks so much for the reply. I    honestly am not sure if anything has been changed. Mine currently look like the attached screenshot. I've done two updates to my OS. It's currently on Tahoe 26.3.1 and it's been doing this windowed thing for about two months now.  I    haven't connected it to an external display either. it just showed the grey title bar one day and it hasn't gone away since. The game settings are all as should be which is the fullscreen, retina etc. I've changed them to see and then changed them back and it's still there.
