What happens when the bug occurs? Can't rotate roofs or stairs. Move objects not working. It says the cheat is on but continues to function as if it isn't. Short cut buttons not working.

Please describe the patch or change you made. After Discover University installed and has progressively gotten more difficult to build.I have also uninstalled and reinstalled all packs and problems persist.

@MrsSweetpants To me, this sounds like bluetooth interference of some sort, possibly due to overheating. Can you please check to see if your PS4 is getting proper ventilation (blow out those vents) and dust around the console, and if it sits in a tv stand with a door that the door is open. If there is anything electromagnetic near the left side of the console where the bluetooth card is, it needs to be moved away. This includes your phone, or speakers.
It also might be a good idea to get a paperclip and reset your controller(s). Sync the controllers to the PS4 by plugging them in with a cable.
