Can't scroll with trackpad

★★ Guide

I just got a PC, downloaded the Sims 4 and launched a new game. In CAS, two finger scrolling will allow me to zoom in and out on my Sim, but won't let me scroll down the list of clothes/accessories/etc. Please help!

Look in your documentation on what you need to do to scroll. On some trackpads it is a single finger down the right side of the trackpad.

My only option for scrolling with my trackpad is by using two fingers

Update: if I move two fingers on the trackpad quickly, it will scroll like 5 or more lines, but I can’t scroll slowly to move just one line down the list (this applies to CAS clothes, Build/Buy stuff, the traits/celeb level panel for my sims, the gallery, pretty much any list)

Also I want to reiterate that two finger scrolling works perfectly when I need to zoom in/out of my sim or my house.

I recommend that you get a mouse.

While a mouse would solve the issue, I don’t play sims at a table. I play on the couch or in bed, with my laptop on my lap. Using a mouse here isn’t ideal since I don’t really have a place to put it. Do you know of any way to edit the controls of the game?

I am too. I can zoom in and out on my trackpad, but i cannot two finger swipe. EA did not really help me other than referring me to this column..

@tanjabloch I'm also having this problem. Just got a new computer. Two finger swipe zooms in and out during gameplay but doesn't scroll through CAS, the gallery, or even the screen where you pick a save to load when starting up the game. Did anyone figure out a solution?
