The Sims4 Building errors
- 3 years ago
I don't mind at all @JonaO703 😀. The changes to build mode on console were from patch 1.69 about 5 weeks ago in an effort to improve console controls but unfortunately it's resulted in some unintentional issues. I'm sticking to small builds and apartments for now. So @Tammphen there is a main thread containing as much detailed feedback from us as possible so that we can help the team to put together fixes for our issues.

We don't have an estimated time yet and we've been a little impatient but there was a tweet a couple of weeks ago saying that feedback is being listened to and fixes are on the way at some point.
I have had the issue with the fences as it was defaulting to the "yard" setting and I had to keep putting it back to the first fence option. Another thing you can try is to draw with the Wall Tool first, then use the Replace option with a fence of your choice because that can work. I haven't had the issue with half walls though, you may find that on the Bug Reports thread.
The build catalogue now stays open permanently which is something we've asked to be looked at again if possible as it does get in the way unfortunately. I also had trouble moving a house and I finally managed to do it by zooming out as far as I could. The catalogue was getting in the way of placing the house and it took several attempts to try and get out of it's way.
I've also reported that my controls switch between the new options and the old options.
There are Bug Reports here that may also be appropriate for some of your issues:

Hope this helps!
