Well I just deleted my entire game and started again today just to be able to play since it's been about 6 months since I managed because of the excessive crashing. I finally managed to play when I started again from square one.
The first thing I noticed though was the controls again, especially in CAS. It keeps sticking. So if I switch outfit categories and want to select a make-up item or clothing item, the controls are stuck. I have to exit the category and go back into it to select the item.
So that's something that needs to improve. CAS ends up being very slow as a result. I used to notice it occasionally on Xbox One S, now too on Xbox Series S but it's got much worse since the last time I played before the HSY patch.
Edit: So I started counting how many times the controls get stuck in CAS. It happened 12 times today while adding about 7 new outfits for one Sim. It takes several attempts to exit the CAS category and then go back in again to select a new item. It's really not kind to RSI to be honest. Added to that, in build mode when switching to half grid snapping or free placement, it doesn't always register. The grid pops up but the option doesn't change, so again you're clicking away and the controls aren't responding. They are registering an action though so the controller is working, the game just isn't doing what it's supposed to do.
It really is such a poor experience on console. I wish I'd stayed on PC.
