SIMS 4 CAS Rotate and Sliders not working

[nickineurotic]

I'm having a serious bug issue here and I'm not sure if anyone else is having it. After the latest patch my game was working totally fine (after I updated mods of course). I say this because I really don't think it would be a patch issue if it had been working fine in the days after the patch. But yesterday I started to be unable to use the right click>rotate feature. Basically, when I am in CAS I can right-click and drag to rotate my sim but but no matter what direction I turn my mouse the sim just rotates one way. I also can't adjust any sliders. If I click to adjust a body part it will ONLY go in one direction and not stop until it has minimized or maximized its size. I have removed all mods and reinstalled the game and I still have this issue. I tried different mice and tried to use it with the mouse pad and without to see if ANYTHING could be causing the issue. Nothing has fixed it. I originally would have thought it was a mod, but like I said, even without mods AND a fresh install nothing has changed. PLEASE HELP!

It's fixed!!! I actually had to uninstall and reinstall ORIGIN!

Move the whole Sims 4 folder to the desktop from Documents > Electronic Arts and launch a brand new clean game - does it still happen?

[nickineurotic]

It still happens when I do that. I actually took the folder out and dropped it on my desktop then uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and I'm still having the issue.

Urgh, Origin is SO awful When I had the corrupted textures issue I had to uninstall the game and Origin to fix it. Uninstalling just the game wasn't enough. Origin is like some kind of malware that infects the game. Glad you got it fixed though!

Tell me about it! I miss the days of not needing origin. thanks for the help!!

@nickineurotic I’m not exactly experiencing same thing, and I’m not sure if anyone can help. But, recently, the d-pad on sims is not working. In build mode, i places stairs but it would not allow me to press the button that takes you onto the next level, in order to build. It also will not let me bring the walls up or down. The entire four buttons on the d-pad will not cooperate with me haha. If anyone could help, would be amazing!
