Before the July patch, it had been maybe a month or so before I played, so I don't know if this is a new issue because of the patch or if it is the fault of my newer mouse (though I think I've played with this mouse before and not had the issue), but in CAS if I click and barely pull to try and move details of a sim's face, it moves entirely too fast and sometimes not even in the right direction? It has a similar problem with rotating them, and using the mouse wheel in live mode also goes much too fast. Is there any way to fix this?
My mouse settings are smack-dab in the middle, and turning the mouse speed way down doesn't seem to change the speed of editing features. Please help, I've been wanting to play and I can barely navigate the game with this problem.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks for your help! I ended up taking out some mods and now it's working fine for some reason... Ah well, problem solved!

I was having this same issue after I updated my laptop and I figured out that reshade was the issue. I removed reshade from the game and now my mouse is working normally.

I am still having these issues, even after following all your steps and ultimatly completely reinstalling my game.. it is absolutly impossible for me to create a sim as I want to or use the photographer's carreer. I don't know what else to do.

I've been having this same problem for about the last week? No mods or CC installed. It only seems to be a huge problem in TAB mode or when trying to take a photo in-game.

@LizzyMacTownie I found in another post that the Origin In-Game overlay causes that issue.
Here's how to turn it off: Origin > Application Settings > Origin In-game and then disable that slider. That fixed it for me. (:

So it seems for the last few months my mouse is out of control. It spazzes out in Fullscreen and windowed Fullscreen but works fine in windowed mode. The problem with windowed mode that game play is attrocious, as in lag and freezing with lots of idle animation.
In fullscreen and windowed Fullscreen mode the game runs perfect on my old dinosaur laptop but has the mouse glitch..not in CAS, just in live mode, build/buy mode. So I end up having to switch back to windowed mode and it's driving me crazy now. I've tried reinstalling games, turning off origin in game, brought a new mouse, updated mouse drivers, changed mouse settings and reverted a windows 10 update and nothing worked. I also thought it was reshade after reading comments but I took that out months ago and it didn't make a difference. I really need help with this please. Someone, anyone.. ideas please🙏
P.s. please don't say repair, uninstall etc etc I've done everything I can think of.
