Mouse cursor lags ingame

foussi

I dont know what happened but after I had wifi again and when the plant sim challenge was actived my mouse cursor started to act weird.
I cant play normal because the cursor lags and has delays when moving it. It mostly misses things when trying to click on interaction. I cant even close the game normaly because of it.
It only happens when I play a household.
Not on the menu.

Try playing offline.

Hello
Completely shut down your computer, Restart the computer, launch the game and see if the issues remain,

Try unplugging the mouse then putting it back in again and see if that helps.

Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Welp tried everything but nothing worked.
Even factory reset.
I am gonna wait if the game works when the challenge is over.
But thanks for the help.

Hello
Try lowering your graphis settings and see if that helps.

Make sure that your graphics drivers are uptodate.

Try switching back to 32 bit mode and see if that helps. To do that ,
Go to Game Library in Origin . Right click on The Sims 4 picture.
Click on “Game Properties”. Click on Advanced Launch options.
Change the “When launching this Game” setting to “The Sims 4 32-bit”


Try turning off origin in-game and see if that helps. To do that, go,to Game Library in Origin . Right click on The Sims 4 picture. Click on “Game Properties”. Then untick the box that enables origin in-game

Try playing in offline mode.

If you are playing in full screen mode, try playing in windowed mode.

also try a different mouse

Yeah, could be a mouse problem. I'm having no problem with the game but I also play it offline. Are you playing on fullscreen or some other mode?

I've got the same problem with the mouse. Seems it came when I last updated the game.. I can't even play the game when the mouse just lags all the time

Helllo @Emppuuq Try unplugging the mouse then plugging it back in again and see if that helps.
If you have a spare mouse, test to see if the same issue occurs with that mouse also.
Shut down your computes completely. Then restart the computer, log into Origin and see if the issue remains,

If you are only having these problems within the Sims 4 executable then it likely has something to do with the emulation speed, the rate at which the game can process information. I would start by turning on your FPS meter ingame ("fps on" in console) so you can trace the lag to a number for your emulation speed to see if it peaks when your mouse lags

sometimes this can be related to general processing power that the Sims 4 has, in which case you should reduce your background programs to an absolute minimum to free up resources for the sims 4, and additionally on windows devices you can up the priority the ts4.exe/ts4_x64.exe is set to from "normal" to a higher level, in the services tab of task manager (ctrl alt delete to access the menu it appears on)

otherwise it can be related to your graphical limitations, so I would recommend dropping all of your settings down to minimum, and running the game in fullscreen on the lowest possible resolution. While your graphics card is "made" to run in the native or default resolution of your monitor, lowering the resolution is basically like giving it easier math problems to solve to emulate a 3d gamespace with a bunch of UI overlays, the mouse being a part of that UI layer and highlighting content within both the 3d and 2d layer.

Hmm I found out it was this 3D-option in graphics who caused most of the lag.
But its still not completely gone.
I am gonna post again when it gets better.

If you still have issues, try lowering the graphics settings and see if that helps.

Try switching between using full screen and windowed modes and see if one helps the issue better,
