Clicking & Holding/Dragging Doesn't Work in the Creator, and Probably Camera too

Every time I try to click and drag anything (rotate Sim in creator, stretch facial features, pretty much anything), the mouse gets stuck in the grab position and doesn't do anything. The screen flashes with green glitchy stuff for a second, and when I double click the mouse fixes itself and the screen flashes with that glitchy stuff again. I tried updating, repairing from the Origin launcher, restarting my Mac, updating my Mac, restarting the game multiple times, moving it to the desktop, turning off Origin In-Game, nothing works. Any tips? I can't find this problem anywhere.

    Thanks, can you also provide the other info asked for please in the questions:

    - Are you attempting to play the normal version of the game or the Legacy Edition?
    - Are you running any antivirus?
    - Have you tried to repair the game in Origin? Right click on the game in My Games and select Repair Game.
    - Do you use CC/Mods? If so, have you tried removing them and seeing if that fixes your problem?

    So far, it's only happening in Fullscreen mode, but it's still very slow and delayed when I try to drag/resize features. Everything else runs at a pretty normal speed, so as far as I can tell, that means my Mac can handle it, but for whatever reason, it doesn't like me trying to click and drag (rotating the Sim, adjusting features, etc.), and I'm worried that will carry over to the in-game camera. :/
