I NEED HELP. My sims 4 mouse is super sensitive when moving the camera in cas and in live mode. The send i move itthe slightest it glitches and spins me all over the place. In cas it spins them extremly and when editing a part i have to move it with the slightest touch or it drags it out or in. I tried switching to the sims 4 camera instead of the sims 3 but that didn't work. Ive tried a diffrent mouse inacse it was the mouse and it still happend. Ive deleted and reinstalled Origin. Taken out my whole sim folder having it make a new one and nothing. I feel like ive tried everything and I have no idea what to do, sims 4 is unplayable like this.

@Three_dolla_min This is known to be caused by Reshade because it conflicts with other game overlays. You can either disable Reshade for The Sims 4 (the Reshade forums should have info on how to do this) or you can disable Origin in game.

@jpkarlsen Wrong. It's origin in game. I was using no mods and had a clean install of the game and was having the problem. Disabling origin in game fixed it. Origin is so broken, it's no wonder everyone wants everything on Steam.

@h1ddenb1ades- Try disabling origin in game for the sims specifically. Go to the games library, right click on sims 4, and select game properties. I had origin in game turned off globally, but it was somehow turned on for sims 4. Could be something sneaky like that. Hopefully that helps!

@h1ddenb1ades Try disabling any other overlays you have: Steam, Discord, etc. If that doesn't help, try playing in a clean boot: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-clean-boot-windows-10 If the problem is gone in a clean boot, the cause is some service that was shut down, and you can start selectively reenabling them to see which one is the culprit.

@jpkarlsen Thank you so much! I had the same problem, turns out it was caused by the Origin in game. I disabled it, and it seemed to do the trick!I can finally play the game without getting all motion sick.

Actually it is not caused by Origin in Game but Reshade and similar overlays that conflict with Origin in Game which is why disabling this also works. So if you can live without its function in the game you can disable this instead.

If it were Origin in Game millions of users would have the problem instead of only those that use Reshade or similar overlays. Mods do not have anything to do with this issue.

Thank you so much for mentioning this! I thought the pretty graphics were going to have to go away as soon as I downloaded the reshader stuff because the spinning made the game unplayable. Disabling Origin in game fixed it for me though!

How do you field origin in game?
I have no mods and my mouse sensitivity is super high in game, it only does the excessive spin in First person view. But still. My mouse has custom sensitivity setting that the game ignores. It makes adjusting my camera angle frustrating and I wanted to use first person view. :/

@crinrictThis still didn’t work for me. I removed all my mods out of the folder (I don’t use reshade either) And I removed origin in game. But the problem still persists. But not in any other game or on the PC overall. It’s just the sims 😫
