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 ...
That's not true. As I stated in my previous comment, it may be a bug but still people are not posting their Mac's specs. so it's extremely difficult to narrow the issue down to a specific reason. There are no reports of this happening on Windows that I could find so it's Mac specific. And it's not happening on all Macs which is why knowing the hardware and OS, AND the packs installed is so important. Sadly you and only one other over on the officials have reported their specs. You must also take into consideration other software installed on your Mac which may be interfering. For example, apps running in the background may be using resources whilst you are trying to make your Sim in CAS so this could be causing a lag, causing the issue. Or you may have recently updated another App using automatic updates and not realised it. Sierra was recently updated to 12.4 too so again, there may have been an update in the pointing device drivers which may be interfering. It's not just always down to the game.
Did you try the super repair I recommended? And it's still happening when you pull your Sims 4 folder out of the Electronic Arts folder and play a brand new, clean game? Without saves/mods/cc and with the default graphics options (just pulling out your Mods folder is not enough to test properly)?
If we get a few more people reporting it then I'll start a current info thread and collect info. Perhaps you could help too by asking people for their setup information? Knowing what add on packs you have installed would also be helpful.
I've been trying to reproduce this issue on 3 older, different Macs (2007 iMac ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256Mb, 2011 15" MBP AMD Radeon 6770M 1Gb, 2012 15" MBP NVIDIA 650M GT 1Gb) and cannot.
@silvercole685 - Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612396/highlight/true#M162
