I just want them to fix this glitch. It’s annoying haha
When I called Customer Service they told me to put my issue on here so they know if it’s happening to other people, and then they said they might try and fix it. I was just saying because when I played the Sims 3, it didn’t happen on there, but on the Sims 4 the Apple Dock was showing up when I scrolled to the edge of the screen, no matter where I put the dock (bottom, side, top). I thought it was just my computer. Thanks for the comments everyone.

Well, it does. I have my Dock on the right side of the screen, and it pops up whenever I move my mouse to that edge of the screen while in fullscreen mode.
Yep, I noticed the same recently. The Dock will sometimes pop up when I move the mouse to the bottom edge of the screen, and I only ever play in fullscreen mode.
Are you playing in proper fullscreen mode? When you do it should flick to a second desktop. It's very easy to confuse a game window filling the whole screen with actual fullscreen mode. Holding down CTRL, CMD and F will toggle between fullscreen and windowed mode. If you are in true fullscreen mode the Dock will not appear.

Hmm. I did manage to get my Dock to appear twice during testing in Mojave and Catalina but it seems very intermittent whereas moving the cursor to the top of the screen always brings up the top menu bar.
I tend to play in windowed mode as I like being able to drag the game window to whatever size I prefer. That is an option available then you can move the window slightly over to the left so you don't go near the Dock.
Yep, definitely using the proper fullscreen mode where the game slides onto its own desktop space.
My experience is consistent with yours - the Dock appearing is intermittent and certainly doesn't happen every time. I do think I've gotten the top bar to appear a few times as well. It's not exactly a game breaking bug for me at least, but would be good to get fixed if possible.
I prefer to get fully immersed in the game, so windowed mode is a no-go for me.
That comment was from a year ago, before you posted in this thread and provided more information. Didn't we just go over this over the last few days and ascertain that it's intermittent and yes, possibly not behaving as intended? I'm confused... 😕
You can stop the Dock to appear on selected displays by using DockLock Lite app from the Mac App Store. I hope it helps.
