CAS Glitch(es)?

I've been having issues with my cursor in CAS on Sims 4. I have two Sims 4 cursors in CAS, but the second cursor only shows up when I hover over a body part. It's been around for a few weeks now, and...

    @xquishi  Oh, I see what you mean now, I think.  It's just the hand and then the icon with arrows, right?  That's normal, and how the game is supposed to work.  I don't know if it used to be different.  But the point is, the hand is still where you're clicking, and the other icon shows you what you can by dragging.  For example, in the first screenshot, you can only make the sim's arm thicker or thinner (by pulling to the right or left).  In the second, when hovering over the forehead, you can make the sim's face longer or shorter (down or up), or wider or narrower (towards the center of the forehead or away from it), hence the four arrows.  Some features, like eyebrows, can be rotated, and you'll see a circular icon in certain locations.

@xquishi  The double cursor is pretty strange.  Could you post a screenshot?  You might need to take a photo with your phone or something, since neither the in-game function nor the Windows snipping tool captures the cursor under normal circumstances.

Please also try playing in a clean boot.

@puzzlezaddict  Sorry, I forgot to mention that I did move the Sims 4 folder to the desktop, which was the cause of the gray "X" issue fixing itself. I have taken photos with my phone, so I can give you those. I'm not too sure if I did the clean boot correctly even though I did follow the directions because I wasn't sure what to disable. But it didn't fix the issue. So here are those photos you asked for.

      @puzzlezaddict  ACK. Ok, I am very sorry for asking you a question about something that was normal. So, I probably just missed it in a previous update. Thank you so much for your help because I am an unsmart person and would have never figured that out on my own. Stay safe and have a nice day!

        @xquishi  Don't worry about it; people ask about these small details all the time, and it's easy to miss them or not notice a change right away.  Besides, the other issue was a real error, and you got it fixed.
