Mouse Pointer Freezing

I highly doubt this is related to the cursor freezing issue. Please post in Gameplay or Bugs if you cannot find a thread already started on that issue, or Mods if you play a Modded game.

Which specific model Mac?

Apple mouse/trackpad or 3rd party?

I am experiencing the same issue. I didn't really think about the update to OS 26. I would also add that when I add items from the build buy to a lot, it randomly adds extras of that item. Sounds like we might have to wait for EA to update the game for the new OS. 

I tried scrolling in fullscreen mode with game mode enabled and disabled, and that did not make a difference. Same thing with vsync. I think because Apple altered the menu bar, I believe that is why I'm unable to scroll forward in my game. Whenever I move the cursor up, the pointer changes to Apple instead of the Sims 4 pointer. However, when I click a couple times at the top with the Apple pointer, it changes into the Sims 4 magnifying glass icon, and the magnifying glass allows me to scroll forward. For now, I will use this method. You guys should try this method in your game moonduster01​ heygwenpool​ 3j4pwzw4j65y​

Good that at least there's a workaround to play in windowed mode. I always play in windowed mode so will see if I can repro by changing to fullscreen at some point.

When experiencing this in fullscreen mode do you have Game Mode enabled or disabled (thanks UGHMoodPoisoning)?

Can you also toggle vsync on/off in the in-game graphic options and test in fullscreen to see if it makes a difference? 

Experiencing the exact same issue. My mouse pointer also gets stuck at the side and bottom of my screen. 

macOS 26.0, using the Macbook's trackpad.

Model: A2442

Troubleshooting:

• Took mods out
• Repaired
• Tried different display resolutions on my Mac and in the game
• Turned on window mode then back to full screen
• Turned off Retina display
• Tried different settings for the menu bar
• Restarted my Mac
• Turned off game mode

The issue still persists. At least in windowed mode, the glitching stops. But I can only scroll with my cursor within full screen mode.

I'm having the exact same problem right after updating to macOS 26.0
Never had this issue before updating. I've tried adjusting my resolution and toggling edge scrolling on and off but that hasn't fixed it. The only way I can get top edge scrolling to work and the cursor glitching to stop is by playing in windowed mode.

Same question in my previous post applies to you.

What troubleshooting steps have you tried to resolve this yourself?
