Re: Camera will not rotate properly using trackpad or mouse

I had a problem with my game where the save disappeared. I managed to resolve that issue and find the save which is now working, however, since going back on the game I cannot rotate the camera with my mac touchpad. None of the settings on the game have changed, and none on my mac have changed. I have updated both the game and my mac, don't use mods and never have.

The camera rotate is working when I have an external mouse plugged in, but is only working 10% of the time with my trackpad, and only if I click down extra hard!

Any advice greatly appreciated, it's really impacting gameplay. Thanks

Have you checked your settings in System Settings > Trackpad?

Have you installed any 3rd party software that may change the Trackpad behaviour?

You could try trashing the Options.ini file then load the game and see if it helps.

Hi, yes I have checked all my settings, they are all fine.
No I haven't installed any other software.
I've tried deleting the Options.ini file and it hasn't made any difference.
The game is also crashing constantly and I have to force quit because it stops responding about every 30 minutes.

Thanks. Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612396/highlight/true#M162

What steps have you taken to try and resolve the freezing?

What about if you use the < and > keys on your keyboard? Is that also slow or not working?
