So a few days ago or so we had an article about the Mad Catz Sims illuminated Mood Mouse. You know, it supposedly changes color depending on the mood of the active Sim. Now both SimFans and Sims Nieuws have reviewed it.
There is still no driver / driver, so that the mouse can display correctly in the game, the color of the mood of the Sim. However, we have contacted the manufacturer and learned that this “soon” to be published
What I did not expect that the colors all the time keep running. From green to yellow, to orange to red. Unfortunately, when I wanted to go on The Sims 3 to start, and my family came, he simply alternate colors. Whether it is on a wrong driver, or that the mouse does not really work in your game. Is questionable, but I would really regret it if he would not do in the game, because they sell a lie!

So let me get this straight… they have released a mouse, who’s main claim to fame is that it changes colour based on your Sims mood… but it doesn’t?
Here in the UK that is illegal and constitutes false advertising…
What a rip off!! Typical EA these days!
Blame mainly falls on MadCatz. It’s their product and they are the one with the false claim. Anyways, the reason why it doesn’t work as advertised is due to the lack of a driver for it. Now this is where EA is most likely to blame. Endorse a product but don’t provide data for the drivers? Both are full of FAIL.
both companies should be sued for false advertising and that’s it. It doesn’t really matter that the fault is to the lack of drivers.. it’s still poor marketing and laughing right in front of their customers. I’m glad I didn’t buy that crap.
The driver is included with the product, see instructions, or please download it from:

then the product works exactly as advertised.

Programmed on a chip inside the mouse? When I got mine, there was no driver disc inside of the box. It might be a rare case. But everything is fine now as we directed our readers who either had the mouse or wanted to buy it, to your driver site. So all is well now. And it really is an EXCELLENT product. I love it! 🙂
Well I have the mouse and I downloaded the driver but it keeps giving me an error in the final step of the installation and as a result the plumbob still doesn’t match the mood of my sim. This is extremely irritating.
I have this mouse and I have had no issues with it. I downloaded the software and it works perfectly.
So does it or does it not work for Windows 8? I rather not buy it for my laptop if I can’t use it.
