Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.20.101.2300
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and dogs, cool kitchen stuff, dine out, fitness stuff, Get famous, get to work, island living, jungle adventure, realm of magic, seasons, spooky stuff, vampires, vintage glamour stuff

I like having my sims take pictures it's the easiest way to get fame up and then usually right after I take the 5 pictures my cursor will disappear and I have to save and exit. My controller any/everything still seems to work fine but I can't control what I can't see so it really makes it difficult to play.

@crinrict , could you possibly mark this as workaround and pin the suggestion to go in and out of first person camera mode to the top of the board? It might help people who don’t want to read through several posts.

@Rae_Regenbogen I checked and I think I found the first person posting that and marked their post as solution. There's other suggestions though throughout the thread.

This happens every time. I have to restart the PlayStation to get the arrow to come back.

@Bluevenom97 The exact same thing is happening to me, except it happens to me not only when I take photos, but when I just have sims interact with each other. I have yet to try going into first-person and going out of it again, but my solution at the moment that somewhat helps is turning off the controller and turning it back on. I just hope this issue will get fixed. :/

@Sassysun I've had this game for a day and had to restart my whole console three times to try to resolve this issue. Its annoying because reload time is soooo long. It seems to happen most when doing specific things (taking photographs going out of build mode) super disappointed as this was a gift to myself for xmas
