    @Boo_101102 Another Update: I use Reshade (which I never thought would be a problem) but after I tested my game and saw that everything worked, I added back my reshade. When I got back into the game, I started up a new save and the problem was back. So I quickly uninstalled reshade (from the Sims, not my computer), loaded the game back up, and everything was fine. I'm no tech guru, so I can't think of why Reshade would cause the game to act like that. But if anyone is having this same problem and uses Reshade, consider taking it out for a while. Maybe it'll solve your problem. Just thought I should share my experience!

    EDIT (crin)

    If this doesn't help, try the following

    • Turn off Origin-In-Game in Origin
    • Change you mouse sensitivity settings (proven mostly not working)
    • Make sure you have no mod-conflict.

I went back to a previous version of Windows and it fixed my problem with the camera.

      Apologies for not posting my resolution any sooner!

      Mine appeared to have fixed itself, and I thought someone had fixed something somewhere.  It turns out that my son replaced my mouse for me because my right mouse button was "sticking", and he uses it a bunch for some of his games.  I only use it really in Sims 4, so I hadn't realized it was a hardware issue.

        Hey all, I'm actually on a PC (Windows 10) and having this problem... sort of. I'm using a regular mouse (albeit an MMO mouse with lots of buttons) but whenever I rotate the camera either in CAS or in live mode, it like... goes into overdrive. Gotta go fast and all of that. One tiny centimeter moved on the mouse results in crazy Sim spinning in CAS like they're trying to spin off into space. There is no issue zooming, nor is there an issue using the turn-arrows in CAS. The only mods I'm using that should alter CAS are the more columns/different background, which don't seem to have any relevance on how the camera would work.

        Plus, it does happen in live mode as well if I try spinning it around my Sim. Centimeter = 4 camera spins lol. I'm using the Sims 4 type camera.

      I still have the issues with sliders in CAS and rotating the camera in free view, unfortunately. I've tried with my laptop's built-in trackpad and trackpoint (Lenovo ThinkPad T480) as well as a USB mouse (Lenovo ThinkPad USB Laser Mouse).

      DXDiag attached.

      Edit: For what it's worth I updated my mouse drivers (https://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/downloads/ds502233), still the same issue.

        I see your using XBox gameing overlay. Do you use that while gaming Sims as well ? DId you try turning it off ?

        Did you try if you can change the sensitivity a bit ?
