mouse cursor wont change to sims 4 version

If you use discord it might work taking off the discord overlay. It worked for me

Did that. Still, doesn't work.

I have a similar problem to this, but instead it stays at the small blue loading circle. It used to be the same problem, but then it turned into this...does anyone know how to fix that?

Hi, I tried all of the above but my mouse still doesnt work on one portion of the screen. i don't know how to fix it. Is it the game or my laptop?

Hi @sammireid16 - Usually, if the mouse stops working on one portion of the screen it's because there's a notification underneath the game window waiting for a response. Try alt-tab to the desktop to see any notifications. You should be able to get rid of the problem by turning on focus assist. Go to Settings > System > Focus Assist (on the left hand bar). At the bottom of the settings, turn on "When I'm Playing a Game". Hope this helps!

This was the solution for me. Mouse is back to normal after turning off the option. Thank you because it was really bothering me.

@farminarmin15 Me too frustration right. I've noticed when there's a pop up or window open it tends to happen
