Sims 4 CAS cursor glitch
In the sims 4 create a sim whenever I hover over a sim with the cursor to edit the sim body or face it's fine, but when I hover away from the sim the cursor thinks it's still on the sim. It's hard to ...

And what pointing device are you using? Apple Mouse/Trackpad, 3rd party? Have you changed any settings in System Preferences? What Mods do you have installed?
I am using the Apple mouse that came with my computer. I do not change any of the settings, the only thing I changed was how fast my mouse goes and that was when I got my computer two years ago. This issue has only been happening for about a few weeks, so I have not changed anything before that.
I have the basic mods like clothing and hair, I have one to make my sims teeth more white, I have one where the CAS lighting is brighter looking, I have skins and makeup, I have MC Command Center.
And my CC is Maxis Match, not the Alpha kind. And I do not use any type of build CC or mods that adds extra playing content in game.
Also I have taken out all my mods and tried it and it still did not work.
- Do you know if one of the gurus know about this glitch or not ?
@BluebellfloraI know you think your issue is a Mac bug, and it may be, but please understand that only 3 people have so far posted about this issue. And only you have posted your specs. so there is nothing to compare to. I don't see anything in your Mac's specs. and OS which could cause the issue and it certainly isn't an issue affecting every Mac user playing the game.
Have you checked the bug forum to see if others are reporting this? http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs I don't know about gameplay bugs, I only concentrate on Mac specific ones, hence asking for more details.
The EA Community Managers on this site are great and actively read threads (Gurus are over on the game forum, not here).

I'll try that to see if it works!
And yes I understand that only three posted about it, but also a lot of people play sims on non Mac computers, it's more popular on regular desktops.
And some people don't know how to contact people from EA with their bugs, so they just leave hoping they know about it.
And also this bug isn't allowing me and other players who have not be able to play, I can still edit sims and play.
It's more of an annoying thing.
My game was perfect, I didn't change my settings in my computer or anything. It was just a random day of me playing sims and it happened. It worked perfectly fine the day before. That's why I think it's not my settings, that's why I think it's just a regular Mac bug.
Can't assume that just because three people posted about means that they're the only ones who have the bug.
You could give this a try, it's kind of like a super repair:
- In your Applications folder right click on the Sims 4 app and select Show Package Contents.
- Navigate to Contents > Mac OS.
- There maybe two files in there. 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. Leave the other file (if there is one), The Sims 4.par alone.
- Now open Origin, click on The Sims 4 in your Games Library and click on Download.
Hello @iimlana,
I haven't heard of this being a bug, but I can ask around. 🙂
In the meanwhile, if possible, could you try a different mouse (maybe you could borrow one) and try the steps @Bluebellflora posted above.
If I hear anything regarding this I get back to you and hopefully other experiencing the same issue will post their specs as well.
Thanks,
- Kristi
