The Sims 4 on Console - Feedback Thread

The current patch did not change the controls, and there is no hint or acknowledgement that this is still being worked on. It's been almost 6 months. Even tho I pay just like PC players, I can't help but feel like second class. If we are valued as customers, there should be at least an attempt to earn back our trust. (I even turned off the updates, because I can at least somewhat build now and I'm extremely anxious that I could loose that again. I never feel that about updates from other games, this kinda is not normal.)

Also, if the controls are here to stay, please provide a video of an actual person playing on console and explaining how it's supposed to work. It's not just the muscle memory. I also fail to understand how (e.g.) we are supposed to use the search bar with the given buttons, and the written texts are not really helping.

Cade, its so great that you talk with us here! I guess you are pretty occupied with the upcoming pack, but can you please tell us if the controls are still being looked into? Thanks <3

If you don't mind, I also have a question. I know it's been mentioned that the latest console control are are being looked into... Does that also include the new CAS controls? The trigger buttons in CAS undo and redo, while the bumpers control the outfit categories, which is how it's always been, but now BOTH the triggers and bumpers switch the outfit categories and it gets confusing with how inconsistent it is when trying to undo vs switch categories. Sometimes one does the other, while the other doesn't do it at all. Opening up the cheat bar by pressing down on the trigger and bumper buttons in CAS also makes me undo something at the same time. If there's nothing to undo, pressing down on those 4 buttons won't bring up the cheat bar at all, it will just switch between sims. Also, there used to be a shortcut to the top color swatches and outfits when scrolling through a long category list. Like hair, for example, when I wasn't anywhere near the top of the category list and I didn't want to have to scroll all the way up, I used to be able to just press my left arrow and up, then I'd have quick access to those top options. Now, pressing the left arrow button makes me scroll up and pressing the right arrow button makes me scroll down... I can no longer use my left and up arrow buttons to quickly move outside of the category lists. I have to scroll all the way up the hair category, or go into a subcategory that's different from the length of hair I have selected on my sim just so that I can get to the top options quicker. For example, if I have a long hairstyle on my sim that's selected all the way near the bottom of the hair list, I'll have to exit and then click on the short hair category so that the selector is at the top, so I can get to the color and outfit options quickly, otherwise I'll have to scroll all the way up the hair list just to change the color or switch my outfits. I hope I explained that well.

Another thing I forgot to mention, there's still an issue with the selector randomly scrolling all the way down by itself, which can only be stopped by using the arrow buttons.
