DirectX 11 Technical Issues and Feedback Thread

Seasoned Rookie

7 months ago

Platform: Windows 11
Which language are you playing the game in?: English
How often does the bug occur?: 100% of the time while on DirectX 11
What is your current game version number?: 1.109.185.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?: All EPs except for Lovestruck, all GPs except for Werewolves & Batuu, all SPs except for Crystal Creations, Paranormal, Nifty Knitting, Toddler, and Spooky
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?: Enter either live mode or build mode on any save (existing or brand new) with DirectX 11 enabled and attempt to interact with or place anything.
What happens when the bug occurs?: In live mode, you are not able to interact with anything (nothing happens when clicking, and hovering over sims or objects gives no outline either. In build mode, attempting to place any walls or objects will tell you that you cannot place them outside the boundaries of the lot. Strangely, the only thing I have found that is placeable are floor tiles. By observing the location of the wall tool icon, it seems that the game thinks the cursor is stuck far under the game world (as you can see in the video I have linked). Switching back to DirectX 9 fixes this bug.
What do you expect to see?: You should be able to freely place objects and walls and interact in live mode.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?: No
