Re: Sims 4 Double Clicking Issue

@chloeplumstead

Have you checked your Trackpad/Mouse options in System Preferences to see if anything has changed?

Hi! Nothing has changed at all - the trackpad works perfectly fine outside of the game, even in Origin, it's just as soon as The Sims 4 is open that the double clicking issue starts.

@chloeplumstead

Crazy! Ok, can you try repairing the game by right clicking on it in your Origin games library and selecting repair game. If that doesn't work then please try this - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612394#M815

These suggestions do nothing.  I have the double-click issue immediately following the upgrade to High Sierra from Sierra (now running 10.13.2)  Have repaired game.  Multiple restarts of origin and of machine.

I have fixed this issue.  The only solution was to delete the game -- in special way noted below (From Bluebellflora, from another thread), then re-download the game and all add-ins using Origin:

1. In your Applications folder right click on the Sims 4 app and select Show Package Contents.
2. Navigate to Contents > Mac OS.
3. Right click on The Sims 4 and select Move to Trash. Don't drag the file as it will only move an alias and leave the original in place. If there is another file in the folder, The Sims 4.par, leave it alone.
4. Now open Origin, click on The Sims 4 in your Games Library and click on Download.

UPDATE:  THIS DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE!! only worked for 12 hours.  Double-click and no music issue has returned.

EA, ARE YOU LISTENING?  THIS IS A MAJOR BUG!!!

I'm having the exact same issue right now and it's really getting on my nerves. At first I thought it might just be my computer since it is a bit small and running such a big game like Sims 4 on it might be a bit of a challenge, but my one click works perfectly fine outside of Sims 4 even when the game is pulled up/on. If anyone has found a solution, please let me know

Oh wait mine fixed itself while I was off of the game (while it was still running - aka while I was on other apps). I have a 13 inch MacBook from like I want to say the early 2010s?? With the newest update and I think that it's called High Sierra. I guess for me it was just a temporary glitch that needed to work itself out idk whatever it is I'm just happy it fixed itself

Is it possible that you have something running in the background that could be interfering and causing this issue? Best way to check would be to set up a new user account on your Mac and play in that account. Don't move over any saves, CC etc. jut play a brand new, clean game 🙂

I have this issue too, except when I tried to get into the game, my mouse wouldn't move.

I reset my MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015, High Sierra) and now Sims 4 won't even open.

I dont know if this is just my laptop, but i put the game into windowed mode and then it was fixed. After that I switched it to full screen and it was fixed.

I have the same problem, it's so annoying. 2016 MBP with High Sierra. However, I was able to "fix" it by first opening Sims 4 to the game menu, and then going into my System Preferences > Trackpad. After looking through my trackpad settings (I didn't make any changes) when I went back into Sims 4, the double-click issue was gone! So weird.

It happens to me quite often. I load the game, and there's the double clicking, then I quit, reload and it's ok. Then another session, here we go again, quit, reload, and it's ok again. I'm on an iMac, late 2015, macOS High Sierra 10.13.2, 2,8 Ghz Intel Core i5. 8GB ram, Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 1536 MB.

Hello, I found I had the exact same problem with my Macbook Air on the Sims 4. The easy solution is to just open another tab or the internet (like minimize the Sims 4) and keep chrome open for a bit, then just open the game back up where you left it. It should be fixed. It has nothing to do with Trackpad settings if this happens frequently after every time you update the game.
