Hi there @EA_Solaire no sorry it's only working occasionally for me.
My Sim is an interior designer and for example when I was building her house I had to do it one tile at a time as Y did nothing. Then yesterday she was decorating a client's house and she could decorate walls in a sweeping action to place a strip of wall paint but she couldn't fill the room. I took an image of what happened on another device and I'll add it here later. As I switched to buy mode then back again I suddenly couldn't place wall coverings at all so I switched away from it to get the functions back.
Next house she moved to it worked fine. That's been the pattern so far. As I've gone in and out of build mode it's just working sporadically with the new controls. It's exactly the same pattern I've had since January where new functions stop and start. I was going to try a reinstall of my game. I'm on a new Xbox Series X I've used for a few weeks but had similar problems with terrain tools on this console and my Xbox Series S before the latest patch, I'd have to exit the category or mode to get the functions to work again. It's as if my consoles are only recognising the new functions some of the time.
I can work with it now that I've figured out I have to keep leaving the category to get it back again so that's my workaround if the reinstall doesn't change things.
Edit: I attach an image of what keeps happening when I select Y for wall coverings, the pointer sticks and nothing happens until I exit the category one or two times. Sorry I can't add a video, I hope the image will still be helpful. I wondered if the old actions would work when the new action doesn't so I tried that too but again nothing happens. I can live with it now I've figured out how to get it to work again though.
