Build mode glitches after April 16th update
I have been getting glitches in build mode using a controller after the keyboard/mouse support update. I can't always sell items, items disappear randomly when I try to rotate or sell them and using ...

@XxSilverPhoenix Eloquently listed every single issue I’m having too. Word for word, ALL of those things happen with me.
I just quit the game then after trying to place a fridge- during selection, the D pad removed the walls and sent me down into the basement area. After selecting the fridge I wanted, I pressed up on the D pad, and it took me to the roof level. Selecting down took me straight back down to basement level.
This is just getting worse. Building or editing the smallest thing has become so tedious and troublesome. I really hope there’s a fix on the way.
I should also add that the music keeps overlapping. The load screen music doesn’t stop after I’m in a household, or build mode.
@KushKylie I also noticed something with the music too, but I wasn’t sure if I was only imagining things. After all, new music was introduced with the expansions I purchased so I shrugged it off.
I also notice I have to very often use reset object because my characters are freezing completely, however I don’t know if this can be attributed to the bug. Almost too often, and when it does only one sim freezes but the others move along. I will note that this didn’t happen to be often before. Specifically WooHoo freezes every time, while also lagging the game. Then trying to interact with children can freeze a lot too. Again though, no idea what is causing it. I do have a large home and household, maybe it just comes with that.
Today I didn’t run into the issue as often which was weird, however once I finally did nothing at all worked. I couldn’t change camera angles, or change what walls are shown. Couldn’t use L1 L2, L2 R2. Or any of the D-pad for that matter. I couldn’t rotate anything, and the list goes on I just got slapped with all the issues at one time... it was all frustrating.
@XxSilverPhoenix Lag has been a big issue for me too. WooHoo freezes often. Sims forget their assigned tasks over and over. Sometimes it takes telling them four or five times just to get one task done. In those moments, I usually save the game- that tends to get them all moving again- particularly when they’re frozen mid-WooHoo.
It does get very frustrating. Tedious things tend to make me boil. 😞
The other day, I did some building in my first created house. The house started acting like an NPC residence after I went back into live mode.
My sims couldnt access the house. The ones inside it were stuck inside (my toddlers were sad as heck), and when I replaced the front doors with open arches so they could enter, they ended up wandering around to the beach next to the home lot to just stand around, like they had nowhere to go. They even spawned off lot when they came home from work.
I couldnt see inside the house, I couldn’t move up or down levels... I fixed it by completely replacing the house after I saved it on my library.
Honestly, the game at the moment is almost unplayable espeicially in build mode. EA keep releasing patches, and yet the same bugs remain. I've spent a fortune on this game and many of the expansion packs, I'm not spending any more on it until it works properly. In build mode, saving is ridiculously slow, espeicially considering that I save every few minutes. When I'm saving that often, it should not take three or four minutes to save. Controls are difficult, glitchy, and often extremely laggy. The game frequently freezes and then crashes. Changing the size of items often causes them to vanish completely. Duplicating items is equally glitchy. Walls don't always applie properly. All the time I'm building, I'm fighting with the controls. The game has been out long enough that these issues should have been fixed by now, but it's still an unplayable mess, which gets worse with each expansion released. How about you actually make fixing the game the priority, instead of an constant stream of overpriced add ons?
