Mouse Cursor won't hover directly over items

RoryPlaysTheSims

Hi Simmer family,

My in game cursor won't hover correctly over any item I try to click making the game unplayable. When I try to click on anything it won't work, like you have to be above the item making it unable to click on anything. I really hope that makes sense. I have repaired the game repeatedly and no luck. Any ideas on what to do?

Thank you for your help,

Rory

try resetting game. take your sims 4 file from documents and put the file to desktop, Start the game it will generate a new sims 4 file. Then add back your saves, mods, tray folders from the sims 4 file you put at desktop and add them to the new sims 4 file you created in documents

Hmm if you use a desktop mouse, my suggestion would be improving the mouse pad. Mouse pads surprisingly impact a lot on the performance of your mouse. Try this one:

It's one of the ones I like as well as an asus one, but this one has a large surface and optimised control. Your mouse is given this much space:

It should be good. If tht don't help, replace your mouse also. Try something like theese:

Just my suggestions,

Thank you for the advice, but the mouse and mouse pad are ok. The cursor works perfect in other programs and on the internet. The issue just pops up in the Sims 4 game.

So all I did was your... "try resetting game. take your sims 4 file from documents and put the file to desktop, Start the game it will generate a new sims 4 file."

...and it seemed to work. It's a little weird, to have my saved game I've has for a while have the pop ups/tips that the game had when I first bought it and trying to teach me to play the game, but hey, I can get through that. I have my game back. You are amazing. Thank you for fixing my game!!!!

I had an update that messed up my sound and mouse, reset game worked. It works better than repair. Glad it worked for you

I have friends on other threads that have had the same problem. Your awesome advice helped them too.

if I have an issue I just always reset my game which works better than repair. It only takes a minute to replace your file and does a much better job of repairing the game
