Re: Console Controller Feedback

The console controls are just terrible now...

-Can't size up or down without jumping through loops and risking glitches

- Can't switch grid placement or undo without a whole hassle

- Can't really do anything without popping up the search bar

- EVERYTHING is now extra steps and takes a lifetime to do...

I don't even know why you guys messed with the controls, there was absolutely nothing wrong with them before... Of all the issues with the game, console controls were not one of them and now they're a MAJOR issue that makes building/playing tedious, frustrating and slow. I've been playing the games on PC and console since there wasn't a number in the game title, and I've never experienced anything as, quite frankly, stupid as this decision.

Until they're reverted back or fixed I won't be playing or buying packs, there's no point when it's so unusable...

@Villianous_Kitty Any idea when EA will fix this? I'm building an entire 64x64 mansion on PS5 and it's just impossible. Build mode was my favourite aspect of the sims games and now it's just totally broken having to switch around all the time every time I wanna move something I've placed. Why did they think this was a good idea?

Honestly, I can't see it happening any time soon. It would have been an easy fix to simply revert controls back to what they previously were and they could then work on fixing the bugs in the meantime, but that would make actual sense and EA doesn't have a history of that...
I've a council houses project just sitting there right now because every little thing I go to do in build mode induces a deep rage

Hi there,
I've been experiencing the same bug for a while now and it seems like we are all very mjuch annoyed by it, but does this mean that it still won't be fixed in the coming updates / bug fixing ?
