It would be easy if everyone posted the same info and experience but they don’t which is why clarification is always needed.
I have 3 Macs which are under 3.0 GHz, none of them experience this issue. I have booted these Macs up on all versions of macOS from 10.7 onwards where possible, again I cannot reproduce this issue. The CPU speed is largely irrelevant as there are Intel Core 2 Duos, i3, i5 and i7 CPUs. i5 and i7 CPUs also turbo boost so a higher clock speed is possible. What maybe more relevant is low end integrated Intel graphics in entry iMacs, 13” MBPs and MacBook Airs. Too high settings on a machine which doesn’t have enough power causes lag in the game which is similar to the issue reported here.

But this IMac ran without the glitch ever since I first got sims 4, and the 10.13.1 OS is less memory intensive than 10.12 was.
I have tried the lower graphics settings, and it changes nothing on the glitch, in 10.12 I ran with almost all settings max and had no issues whatsoever, and in 10.13.1 I have the same settings and all runs even better, except for the CAS cursor issue.I do not have any issues with game lag, only the CAS cursor issue.
I know that 10.13 changed some things with the mouse cursor, that caused issues with other programs (Photoshop for one), and I think it may be the same cause of the CAS glitch.
I know and agree with everything you have said. I'm not saying that lowering your settings will fix it, I'm explaining the similarities based on @iimlana's reply. If every single Mac user was experiencing this issue it would be much easier to work out what the cause is but actually a very small percentage of users are reporting it. And there is still no obvious common denominator for it. A mouse cursor issue in High Sierra is not the cause of the glitch as users reported it who are running Sierra.
Maybe @SimQARobo could shed a little light on this? 🙂
