I am unsure. Possibly aging up a sim or merging a sim with the household and then going to either manage worlds to edit the household or use a mirror to change sim or plan outfits for the household. I've seen it happen with both aging up and with merging a sim into the household using the friendly social.What happens when the bug occurs?

Hey everyone,Jumped back into my game on Xbox Series X for the first time since the last update and the LB and RB buttons no longer work to change the outfit category in CAS.

Playing in PS 4 and the bumper buttons will not switch outfit categories

UnknownWhat happens when the bug occurs? Outfit category does not change when L1 and R1 are pressedWhat do you expect to see?

On console - never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure I went into CAS to edit the Outfits of a Teen who had just aged up. As indicated on the UI, L1 and R1 are supposed to change the category (Everyday, Formal, Sleepwear, etc.) but it does nothing at all. Category changes work manually but this requires scrolling to the top of the list, which is often quite long. Because console players don't have point and click functionality in CAS, this is quite the problem for a basic function to be broken. This has only just started, so it may be connected to the 1.86 patch, or one of the two new Kits (more likely Goth Galore as it's a CAS-only set.)

@crinrict - Yes, L1 and R1 are doing their normal thing everywhere else. It still switches between Household members in CAS and in Live Mode, swaps tools and rotates objects in Build/Buy, everything it's supposed to do otherwise, except switch between Outfit categories in the CAS edit menu.

@iamsweetmystery It happens on and off, and only restarting the game seems to fix it, temporarily.

@Uigenna - Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for that. Pretty inconvenient given long load times, but at least it's not fully broken. Who knows how long it would take to patch.

I'm on the Xbox Series S and I have all the packs. Since the last major update, 1.94, the bumper buttons LB and RB no longer switch between outfit categories. I would report this on the actual bug report layout, but I can't find it.

I have been having this problem in CAS, but when choosing traits not the outfits. I also have problems during game play where I can't enter cheats because it won't allow me to bring up the menu.
