How do you use the controls I am put off making an entire family in CAS because I can't figure out how to use them.
What console are you playing on? On XB1 the left center button switches the cursor between the foreground and background. When the cursor is in the foreground mode it will only work with the UI buttons (no matter if you are in CAS build/buy, or live mode), when it is in background mode the cursor should be visible and it works like a mouse. The background mode is the mode that you will use the most as it’s how everything aside from UI buttons is used.
I’ve fiddled around with the Xbox version, and I was not a super huge fan of the controls. I’m not sure how efficient it would be to overhaul a games entire control setup post-release so I doubt they will change, but I found the near constant back-and-forth to be exhausting. What takes 10 minutes on a PC takes a lot longer on a console - not because it’s difficult to understand, because the game is using the same simplified tools, the controls are just setup badly and consume a lot of time switching between modes and navigating UI panels that you were previously on but had to close to switch the cursor mode, move the camera, move an object, or even undo (yes you can only undo from the background cursor mode. The same button brings up search when the UI mode is enabled)
