Mouse Controls in Sims 4 not working? :(

[crinrict]

Did you try all the suggestions in this thread ? Which camera mode are you using ?

Hi, so I had this same problem, my camera was set to sims 4 and I could do everything with my mouse except click and drag the screen. I don't know how it is with everyone else, but I tried resetting the game and my origin and it didn't change. I went through and looked at every setting in my game.

After stressing out I finally noticed that when I did click on the screen, it was as if I was holding shift. I wasn't though, my keyboard doesn't have any stuck keys or anything like that. So when I clicked on things it only gave the options to cheat, not interact.

So I just pushed my shift key real quick and it solved it.

Honestly I feel kinda dumb bc of it but if this helps anyone I'd rather post my solution and look stupid.

My issue is kinda of the same but it’s different at the same time! It’ll let me rotate but it won’t rotate correctly like it has before. It’ll rotate it to go back the other way my sims will freak out in CAS & won’t go the other way, etc. Same in Live Mode, it won’t let me rotate correctly without freaking out.

This method doesn’t work for me

@KaitlynKat12345 Hi! I'm having the exact same issue as you. I'm wondering if you got yours fixed. If you did, can I know how? Thanks a lot.

Hi folks,

This thread is a few years old at this point. The advice that once worked back then might not be as helpful for you now. Could you open a new/current thread on this please and feel free to add any relevant information to help. I'll close this thread here to limit necroposting.

Thanks,
