Problems with Edge Scrolling

Edge scrolling works except to the bottom. Up, left, and right all work fine. I'm in regular full screen mode, so it's not that. Please help!
  • @ashleyeb14 A GUI is a Graphical User Interface, which is essentially the broad acronym for the buttons, icons, sliders and pictures that make up the parts of your screen that aren't the gameworld.

    In this case it means to not move the mouse to the very bottom of the screen, but have it so that it's aimed at about the top of the white bar. It should then turn to a magifying glass and scroll down as needed.

    You can switch to a Sims 3 camera mode, if that suits you better.

    @EA_David Thanks for helping! 😕mileyhappy:

    Edge-scrolling should not be effected by the GUI. The past sims games didn't have that problem. Other popular games that have edge-scrolling dont have that issue. I think there should be a patch or something because its very frustrating to make sure my mouse is on the very edge of the GUI lol. It's a very uncormfortable gaming experience the way it is set up now since I mainly like to use edge-scroll. Also, edge-scroll speed is something that should be added. 😕mileyface:

    Don't get me wrong, I'm really enjoying sims 4, I just think that edge-scrolling being effected by the GUI is bad design.

    Go to the game options by clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner. Make sure you play in fullscreen mode and edge scrolling is ticked there.
