Re: [PS/XB] LB/RB Button Stop working in CAS to Switch Outfit Category

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.86
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unknown
What happens when the bug occurs? Outfit category does not change when L1 and R1 are pressed
What do you expect to see? L1 and R1 change Outfit category
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? 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.)

    @iamsweetmystery I merged your post with another thread where these controls don't work although for OP it seems to be everywhere.

    Does it work for you in other instances ?

    @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.

    @crinrict - Update: It's suddenly started working again. I'll have to keep an eye on it to see if it stays that way, or if its going to become a recurring problem.

    @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.

    @TheSimsDirect I don't have files as on xbox series s, but this still happens even now. Only re loading the game seems to work temporarily
