Hi,
The most recent update for console (Version: 1.69) has made build mode very difficult. I play on the PlayStation 5 and things were going good for build mode before this change. Unfortunately I can’t really get through build mode now because the list of items are set by default taking up most of the screen. Also the way to select items is a bit tedious. For example, having to click on the color swatches for counters to pick out which form of it I want to use and to then click on the swatches again for the color options.
Navigating everything makes looking for items much slower. Using the cursor to scroll up and down makes me miss out on the items I want to use and it lags at times. I used to use the d-pad to go through items on my controller and prefer this old way much more. Also, when placing items, walls, platforms, etc and I hit the undo button it goes to the item search option every single time I press the undo button. So I have to select each item press undo, get sent to the search option press b to close it and the cycle continues as I have more to undo.
please change this back to how it was before the update or at least make this mode optional. Console players aren’t like PC players that use keyboards and a mouse, we need controls that work with our controllers and not ones that limit our playing experience. Overall, it’s sad to say but the update has made the build buy mode of the sims 4 stressful and unplayable for me.
