Why Supermarket Simulator can trigger motion sickness
The whole game is played in first person with a mouse, and you turn your head constantly to stock shelves, scan items and watch the store. One player says lowering the mouse sensitivity reduces the sensation of moving your head around very fast. That player lowered it all the way and raised the field of view to about 100, and another set sensitivity to 0.50 and the field of view to 60. They disagree on the field of view, which suggests it is worth testing both ways.
- Fast first-person mouse look while stocking shelves and scanning items
- A field of view that players disagree about: one raised it to about 100, another lowered it to 60
- Low or uneven frame rate and input lag, which players say make it worse

Supermarket Simulator ships some comfort settings, but not a full set.
We found no motion blur, head bob or camera shake setting for Supermarket Simulator in the sources checked, and no third-person view that we found. The levers are the field of view, the sensitivity sliders, your frame rate and your screen setup.
| Setting | Where | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Field of View | In-game settings | Test both directions. One player reports about 100 helped and another reports 60 helped |
| Mouse sensitivity | In-game settings | Lower it. One player turned it all the way down |
| Gamepad sensitivity | In-game settings | Lower it too if you play with a controller. One player set both sensitivities to 0.50 |

What helps beyond the settings
- Lower mouse sensitivity first, then test the field of view both wider and narrower, in short sessions.
- Keep a stable frame rate of at least 60, and turn off mouse acceleration, which players say helps.
- Take a break between days, and stop at the first queasy signal.

It has the basics. The developers added field of view settings in the April 2024 patch, and the game has a mouse sensitivity slider. We found no motion blur, head bob or camera shake setting.
What settings do players change for motion sickness in Supermarket Simulator?
Players in Steam threads report lowering mouse sensitivity, in one case all the way, and changing the field of view. One raised it to about 100 and another set it to 60. Another player advises holding a stable frame rate of at least 60 and disabling mouse acceleration.
