Ideas
There was an update to The Sims 4 today (5/27/25), and now my game shows an annoying window with mouse and directional controls, like how to navigate the camera and move up and down floors. There's no way to get rid of the control window, it's not a tutorial that you have to go through to get it to go away, and it hovers on the screen the whole time.
open the help menu and there is a toggle to turn it off. Whoever thought making it default to on was a good idea should be scolded.
Thank you!!! This worked perfectly. I tried everything EXCEPT the help menu… ugh. And yes, a proper scolding should suffice! Lol
The button to get rid of it should be under Tutorial and Tips in settings.
Here's the fix
go to settings
game options
tutorials and tips
disable help center icon and controls legend
worked for my wife
I managed to get rid of it by unchecking “Enable Help Center Icon & Controls Legend” in game options - tutorials & tips
This was also happening to me but I figured out how to fix it! If you go into
Game options>> Tutorial & Tips there’s an option that says “Enable Help Center Icon & Controls Legend” toggle that off and press apply it should get rid of it for you :)Same here I've tried looking in settings but nothing seems to work
I am having the same issue.
I just found this on another forum, posted by LexLuther8s:
While in a game click the three dots in the top right. This should open up the menu window, select game options. In the game options window select Tutorial and Tips. Uncheck Enable Help Center Icon & Controls Legend. Click Apply Changes and exit out of the windows. That should make the control display disappear.
This fix worked for me.
Same here.
Breaks immersion and makes the game too annoying to play.
I found it! Go to your game menu and click on the "Tutorial and Tips" and you should see Enable Help Center Icon & Controls Legend you'll want to unclick that and you should see that annoying box gone!
Thank you!
