XBOX controls aren’t working in build buy mode

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.27
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions All game packs except outdoor retreat spa day All stuff packs except Luxury party Kids room Backyard Bowling night Fitness Toddler My first pet
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I wish I knew
What happens when the bug occurs? Made a new save and started to build used show hidden object cheats (i don’t know if that’s related to why issue happened)
What do you expect to see? Build buy mode should let me use L3 to choose grid options and LB and RB should let me rotate
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? No

When in build mode I can not rotate furniture At all the LB and RB just doesn’t respond or do anything and I can’t not change my grid options without the search bar popping up please help did I do something wrong? Or did I maybe change gaming controls on accident?

  • I have the same issue. I was playing and building lots and I tried to give these lots traits in the upper left corner. But when I tried to switch to the trait section via RB button nothing happened. And there is no cursor option available to open this. I turned of the Xbox, plugged it out and restarted it. After that I tried to use a different controller. Did not help. I updated the controller firmware and tested the buttons. They all work fine but as soon as I switch back into sims 4 the only button that doesn’t work is RB. It is definitely not a hardware problem and has something to do with the game/software. I have this issue since a couple months but since the last update it got unplayable.
