Issue
When in CAS, the cursor suddenly gets stuck on the Camera icon and does not want to change back. All you can do is force-close the game.
Possible Workarounds/Solutions
Most of these are taken from the old thread here: Cursor stops working in CAS. If a solution helps you, please click on the link and give the post XP.

I have a solution that works for me so it might work for you guys too all you need Is a Windows button on your keyboard. While stuck it that mode it's still possible to click on the body of the sim to open the clothing panel, what to do is click and open the panel and bring the mouse back onto the Sim , click and hold the left click down and quickly press the Windows button. Go back onto your desktop and hold down left click on an empty part of your screen and press the Windows button once more to go back into the game. Let go of the click then try to click freely. Try multiple times. Hope this helped.

I've found that when the cursor stops working in create a sim, you can hold down left click and then use your finger to touch objects on the touch screen and after clicking several times the issue is solved. Hope this helps yall.
To help find out what is causing this issue, could you please answer the following questions:

- We fixed an issue that could be caused when using a trackpad, resulting in the cursor becoming stuck (most often while in Create a Sim), and leave users in an unplayable state.
Cautiously marking this as solved (meaning I will mark as solved but it will stay on the list for now).
Please let me know how it's working out for you
Good Luck

Hi all,
I just installed TS4 on my Macbook pro. I have yet to be able to play the game, because after about 2 minutes in CAS, the mouse gets stuck on camera/rotate mode and I cannot click on anything. I tried playing in windowded mode, restarted my computer and restarted the game several times and nothing has worked so far. Help!
