This is happening to me too! Curser getting stuck in the menu items and can't select items in the build. WHY??!!
PLEASE put it back the way it was. I can't even build or edit a lot without restarting game multiple times. Very disappointing
On top of all the other problems, here’s a fun new to me problem, my controller just seizing up and not working at all! Sometimes I can’t toggle the walls up or down, cycle through my household of 5 sims or even pause the game! This on top of the crashing during loading screens and leaving build buy, freezing during building and while in cas and of course the ever horrible Consol controls while in build buy and losing 1/3 of the screen so you can’t see. It has made building so much of a frustrating chore I try to avoid it whenever possible and even cas play has become a problem as it sometimes freezes requiring me to restart the game and I don’t want to hear any BS about how “well if you just owned fewer packs…” if you pay a grand for a game you should be able to PLAY the game not watch it collapse under it it’s own bloated weight!
Finally we've made the media and now just for interest Digital Spy are now reporting the issue with the promise that it will be addressed.
In the meantime I found a workaround for scrolling/item selection that's working on my controls on Xbox Series S.
When in Buy menu, I use my arrows to select the section I want, it's then allowing me to keep using them in the section too, but I can't leave the section. I have to stay in it and just finish placing what I want from that section. The second I leave the section I lose the ability to use arrows/stick. As long as I keep using the arrows/stick without stopping I don't have to grab the scroll bar or use the pointer. I hope that makes sense. I managed to use buy mode for quite a while without using the pointer to scroll and it was a huge relief. If it's not working I just keep trying different sections until the arrow/stick function comes back, because it's random.
But I also found new problems. Resizing a pool at ground level next to a house with a deck causes a deck height frame around the pool. You can't use it as the pool remains ground height. So it's not even an above ground pool. The frame is higher than the water. It was insisting it had to remain the same Medium size like the first floor of the house, even though it was underground. It wouldn't let me change the pool to Short without this weird deck outline around it. I corrected the pool but I did save the lot to the Gallery called "Canyon View Ranch". It has never happened before.
Also, I've got vanishing items. I buy something, like for example I added planters and window boxes...they kept disappearing.
Edit: I managed to get an image of items becoming invisible as I'm moving or placing them. This was from copying and placing doors. Sometimes it happens after I've finished placing something too.
@simsplayer818I think it would be so much easier for them just to put the controls back as they were as we are running into different problems all the time its not just about how the controls have changed but how broken the changes now are
