@EA_Solaire Trying to get used to the controller modifications for the console (Xbox One in my case) after yesterday's update. After a few hours of play and the initial anger and despair have passed, I have a few thoughts to make:
( 1 ) in BB mode, using the controller as a point-and-click device disables scrolling, but just select the BB mode home menu (build, objects by room, objects by function, home inventory) and not choose objects individually with point-and-click, that all previous functionality like scrolling, choosing colors, using RT to access filters and using LT to access search will be available;
( 2 ) it would help a lot in choosing suitable colors and shades for environments if floors and walls had the possibility of rotating between colors with the use of the X button before the final choice (as is the case with objects);
( 3 ) this possibility of rotation between the colors of the clothes is FUNDAMENTAL and NON-EXISTENT in CAS;
( 4 ) I understand that the use of RT to confirm irreversible actions (such as deleting items, for example) was chosen because it is counterintuitive; since there is a convention in using the A button to select and confirm activities in games for XBox and even in other situations in TS4, but it would be desirable to be able to toggle in the Game Options whether or not we want the confirmation popup. The popups for selling isolated objects in the inventory are annoying and make immersion in the game very challenging.
( 5 ) it would be desirable that accessing commands/cheat mode did not involve the right button (RB), as this is related to exiting paused game mode.
After trying to play for a few more hours, it seems to me that the set of updates for the console is even more misguided, unwanted, unnecessary, and intrusive. Certainly, the trainee who proposed the "improvements" played very little (if that much) on a console. A controller is not a mouse, it lacks speed and precision. Perhaps for this reason, point-and-click games are generally not successful on consoles. If the Maxis team is really interested in providing changes "that align our console experience more closely with that of the PC", then let the console users use mods!
