Extreme lag in build mode.

I was playing as the Goths today on PS4 and I went into build mode... and now I'm stuck. Without exiting the entire game itself, I am stuck in build mode because of EXTREME lag.

Update: I managed to get back into live mode but the entire game was lagging, too. I reloaded. I assume it was just a one off problem...

    You don't expect fixes with patches anymore (especially on consoles). It's like taking a piece of metal that they were using to cover one hole on a leaky ship to cover another hole of the leaky ship. I have issues pop up that had disappeared months ago, and other things I reported are never fixed.


    I told my dad the other day of all the issues reported and he's never heard of a single program having so many problems with it. He also said he doesn't see them getting fixed at all as the game is still selling: "Why fix something that is still making money?"
  • The lag is not longer confined to build mode I can't even exit pause without it freaking out for a good few minutes.
  • Yep.. I'd say adding keyboard / mouse support has messed up some of the controller controls. On Pc they've never supported controllers so it sort of makes sense that they'd have some problems combining the two on console. You'd have thought they would have done a bit more testing though.

    With the console version I always picture just one lonely person in a broom cupboard that has the unfortunate task of porting the sims over.
    "Can I come out now?".. "NO! While you were in there messing around with keyboard controls we've come out with 2 new packs and 3 patches.. get back in there!"
  • The Build mode issue happened again last night and I never entered CAS once. I added some things to a Gymnasium I had built, had a Sim visit it and realised I needed to change the speakers back to what I had so entered Build mode to fix them and went back into Live mode. Then when I noticed that I hadn't added speakers to a the upper level, went back into Build mode and the issue happened.

    Just had a weird glitch where the game was behaving like I was in build/buy but I was in live mode.
  • I had that issue aswell @animevamp , when you next go back into your game it should go back to normal , that's what happened to me
