Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By using Build mode on a console version of TheSims4
What happens when the bug occurs? Multiple different build mode features are either hindered or completely unusable after one of the recent updates. This includes not being able to scroll through the build/buy menu (Use of the thumbstick to scroll stops working, and manually dragging the little slider causes laggy jumps), Unable to resize objects, as using the the * "LT RT + Dpad" controls is overridden by the BB catalog search menu prompt (the only way to get around this is to place the object you want to resize, back out from the menu so the cursor is free, grab said object and use the resize controls*, which is extremely tedious and annoying)
What do you expect to see? - Build buy catalog scrolling with the use of the thumbstick - The ability to resize objects from the get-go
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. (TheSims4 Console Update 01/31/2023, version 1.69 I believe )
From my understanding (as I don't use Build mode often), the new bb menu change brought several technical issues (as stated above), as well as causing general gameplay issues.
Having the menu permanently open obscures the majority of the player's view of what they're building, compared to how it was before the change, and having it permanently open leads to those issues above.
Also, I'm not sure if there has previously been a report posted already, and if most of this is more directed towards general feedback instead of a bug report, Apologies in advance if so.
