Build mode malfunction after placing roof, moving room: soft freeze

playing Sims 4 on PS5.

2.6.4.3410

All packs except: journey to batuu, business chic, refined living room, cozy kitsch, sweet slumber, party essentials, urban homage, goth galore, castle estate, modern luxe, poolside splash, carnival, modern mens, incheon, fashion street, country kitchen, throwback fit.

special content I do have: holiday celebration pack, grim’s guitar. 


I’ve recreated this bug about ten times, give or take. The game doesn’t fully freeze or crash but goes into a soft freeze where the save menu is inaccessible. Most “x” or select functions do not work, square button doesn’t work, circle doesn’t work. I can select “start” and then “save” but I get the pinwheel of death and the save file choices never load.

  • This is quite long into a mega build on a 64x64 lot in Chestnut Ridge — where most tiles have been utilized.
  • I have been using cheats: bb.moveobjects bb.enablefreebuild bb.showhiddenobjects bb.showliveeditobjects bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement
  • The bug seems to occur after moving a room, adjusting walls, or placing a roof and then trying to adjust it.
  • I then am unable to proceed. Undo buttons do not work.
  • I can switch to live mode, but the cursor still thinks it’s in build mode and I can not press circle to back out or x to select anything.
  • I believe this bug may have occurred after deleting a debug item that looks like a square flat tv screen where the “screen” faces vertically. I have no idea what this item is supposed to be. It looks like a block. It is named “debug”
  • I have had this bug occur on other saves and other lots when building so perhaps the debug issue is just happenstance.
  • There’s no lag issue.

  • PS5 here, I've had this during builds too, the worst time it strikes is after spending about an hour figuring the floor plan out and I forget to save for  along while, I've had it on multiple lots/saves and it seems to strike after putting roofs in, especially ones that overlap/go into another roof, just this morning I experienced it but only lost half an hour of building time but I hadn't saved since I put down my first wall so that builds gone, in my experience I go into the save game menu, I can press a save file to save over, press ok, but then it doesn't actual save, closes the menu and goes back into build mode then I reopen the save menu again and I can't click anything. 

    I use a keyboard and mouse so unsure of the controller buttons but this sounds much like what I have at times :)
