It's funny I should happen to spot this today, I just checked my game earlier to see if it was possible to play as I've had crashing after 5 minutes since the patch that came out with HSY (which I don't have). I'm on Xbox Series S and my controller was unusable. The slightest tap on the left or right sticks and the cursor was virtually bouncing around the screen. It was hyper sensitive. Selecting anything took ages. I was in build mode. I was really struggling to control the cursor. Even just loading the game, I chose Load Game but it moved so fast it opened up New Game instead.
I already had a lot of bugs in my game but I'd decided to take a bit of a break from it in June after MWS affected gameplay so much. Then the excessive crashing from the summer patch and now this. I was only checking to see if it was any better and really struggled to handle the controls. It made it more difficult as I have dexterity and grip issues as part of my disability. But I've used consoles for decades and not had an issue this bad with the cursor. I'm using a Nintendo switch right now with no problem so I know it's not my disability that's the issue.
So when my game crashed to home after about 5 mins again, I left it switched off. I've been patiently waiting for a fix, luckily I have other games...but I miss my Sims. I have over 50 add-ons and I'm pretty disappointed.
So I'm really glad you've asked for this input today, thank you.
