Playing on Xbox 1 and I believe there should be many game changes and updates for the sims 4 such as • Toddler should have stages from when they crawl to when they are able to walk. We should also be able to hold babies and walk around to interact with them just like we can do with toddlers. • School buses are in sims 2/3 gameplay why can’t we have that in sims 4 and also more school options such as private and home schools * Child crushes and more activities that the kids can do like school dances • Drivers License for teens • Realistic puberty ( periods/cramping) • Teen Pregnancy ( things like this happen in the real world it should be added to the game) • More job options which allows us to go with them or at least make the choices they make while at the job • More pets options • More highschool interactions ( Parent Teacher conferences, Detention, Tutoring) • The “talk”

Build/buy is about impossible to use with the new control update. Change it back. You can not scroll through items, you can not select swatches and i dont like the items being permanently across the screen. I play on ps5

Alright, in trying to make build mode better on console, you’ve messed it all up. I’m so used to hitting A for okay and now it’s right trigger. That sucks. But omg do you realize that every time I try to undo something, it now opens the whole search? It’s awful. It takes forever to try to make anything anymore. Honestly, I like being able to close out the build catalog. I don’t know why anyone thought it was a good idea to change it. Pretty sure the only things any of us were even asking for on console was more options to toggle roof angles and to be able to put railings on stairs one by one instead of pairs and to be able to adjust eves on each side of a roof. Because those things would actually be useful. Please just put it back the way it was. 😩

Yes please do! I’m having a really hard time with the controls after the update today. I’m on PlayStation. The L2 button is undo but now because the menu stays open it opens a dialogue box to search the catalog every time I click it. I also find that I move my cursor back to the catalog and it won’t scroll. I then have to try to get it to go back to select mode in the catalog which is hit and miss. I had to shut down this game and not continue playing because it’s just not working. I really hope this can be fixed soon as I just spent a lot of money on expansion packs last week and I’m really disappointed after today.

@xtalonxgirlx Not to mention with the catalog being CONSTANTLY open, it reduces the amount of visual space! So now instead of getting a whole look at the house I have to back WAY UP just to get a nice view! NOBODY ASKED TO STARE AT A GRAY RECTANGLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN! This completely RUINS building for me!!!!!

I've been an overall sims player since I was 6 years old, and now I'm 23. In all of my years of playing The Sims, I've never experienced anything like this before. I never mistook an actual, purposeful update for a bug, a troubleshooting issue, or a glitch. I thought there was genuinely something wrong with either my gaming system, (which is not too common with a 3-month-old PS5, Sony is good at what they do.) or that there was something wrong with TS4 itself. Then I realized that there was an update, and that this was all meant to be...wow. I experienced no crashes or lag, only what was supposed to be an improvement, but wasn't. Now here we are 1 month later and I still haven't built anything since. I just saw the live stream, and I am really disappointed that I won't be able to kick back, relax and build a beautiful family home with a nursery with the new update coming. I vow not to touch it until everything is restored to what it was before. I won't force myself to play TS4 just because I've spent money on it. If a game I use to relax stresses me out, then it's useless. I just genuinely hope that they don't try to fix it to what they THINK we would want, but that they would just listen and give us back the old build mode, as we asked. I'm sure it won't be impossible to make the new build mode and old build mode two separate building options/toggles, in case any person (I don't see any lol) likes the new update.

I wish we could have cross stitch colors in Cottage Living instead of only black and white ones.
I also wish we could have more than ten saved games and not have a size limit on my library in console.
I’m playing in PS4.

I don't see where we've asked for any of this on here:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Consoles/Console-Controller-Feedback/m-p/12263152/highlight/false#M18366
I've been contributing from the start and what we'd asked for was less repetitive clicking and things like that.
Nobody asked for these changes.
I'm so disappointed.
When I work on a build I can spend maybe 12 to 15 hours on a lot. I think I'll be fighting the controls for most of that time now.
I wish these had been consulted upon on the feedback thread first. There was opportunity to do that.

@simsplayer818 I feel that EA should work with players on console for console in that thread.

@gooochyeee Absolutely, I thought they were. But I'm in it now and I'm just baffled. I honestly can't get my head around what I'm looking at and why I'm looking at it.
