Re: [PS] Build Mode: Move House Tool

@Queenkem101While I mostly play on my computer, I do have base game on my PS4, and I think maybe the controls have changed? I was definitely confused testing this after the last update installed, anyway, though that may also be the fact I'm more used to building on my computer.

What I found works:

  1. Select the move house tool.
  2. Choose move lot (or move building, but if you've just placed from the gallery, I assume you want the whole lot).
  3. DON'T click on the move house icon above the house
  4. Use R1 and R2 to rotate
  5. NOW you can click on the icon above the house, to adjust exact placement once facing the desired direction.
  6. Place

Once you click on the move icon after selecting lot or building, rotating is no longer possible. R1 and R2 will exit the tool.

Edit: Compared notes with a friend, and they have the opposite experience. For them, R1/L1 don’t work until they pick up the house by clicking the icon. That honestly makes more sense to me, so I’m rebooting my PS4 to see if that changes anything.

Edit 2: After a re-boot, double-checking my version number, and a lot of experimenting - it still looks to me like R1 & R2 drop the lot and switch tools instead of properly rotating the lot, if and only if I choose move lot not move house, and have already picked up the lot.

Working:

  • Rotating a house after selecting it but before picking it up
  • Rotating a house after picking it up
  • Rotating a lot before picking it up

Not Working:

  • Rotating a lot after picking it up

I'm on 1.97 on PS4, with just base game and no packs.
