Mouse cursor not working properly

There seem to be several issues with mouse cursors around. Check your settings if you have MouseTrails on and if you do, turn them off. As an alternative, change to windowed or full windowed mode ...

    Thanks guys,

    the issue with mouse pointer not showing up seems to be an issue of activated trailing on mouse cursers in conjunction of fullscreen mode. Try turning off either and it should work.

    As for the issue where the mouse suddenly stoppes working, try if reinstalling your mouse drivers does anything for you.

I have windows 8.1 and use the mouspad of my Acer Aspire and also tried a cheap laptop mouse.

It has happened twice now in the middle of making a sim that a left click/drag starts functioning like a right click/drag, and right clicking doesn't do anything anymore. This means I can't save my sim or do anything else. It makes no difference when I switch from my mouse pad to my usb mouse and back. When I minimise CAS and go to any other program left and right clicking works like usual, no issues, but the problem is still there when I maximise CAS again. The problem also persists when I switch between fullscreen and windowed mode.

    I'm getting this too! and it's really annoying because I can't even exit the game when it happens
