Mouse Shift/Drift problem

When playing The Sims 4 on my Mac, I encounter a specific problem in CAS mode. When trying to rotate the character or edit details—basically, in situations that require mouse movement—the mouse starts drifting on its own, regardless of whether I use a mouse or the trackpad. For example, when I'm trying to edit the nose details, I right-click and drag the mouse to the left, but it either moves in the opposite direction or resists the movement. It sometimes happens in both directions, but it occurs more frequently when moving left. I'm not using any CC or mods, and my computer settings are as follows...

              - Marked as solution for visibility and workaround only -

    I saw this in the other thread that was checked as solved, but the only thing that seems to work is un-checking ”Retina Display” in the Graphics settings in-game. It’s automatically checked from the start, but un-checking this seems to get rid of all drifting. The graphics quality isn’t really the same and the cursor looks ”smaller” but adjusting the UI-scale is helping a lot.
