[CONSOLE] Cheats menu getting stuck

love3423423213​ there's a known bug with the cheat bar on console that may be causing this in your game:

[CONSOLE] Cheats menu getting stuck | EA Forums - 12309840

The good news is that it's been Verified and it's awaiting work to fix it. I'm finding that it's happening in households with infants and toddlers. 

Platform: PS4

Issue: Game crashes every time I open the cheat console (L1 + L2 + R1 + R2).

When typing in the white cheat bar, the game freezes and fully closes.

This started after [latest update / installing pack / Royalty Legacy gameplay].

I have restarted my console and the issue continues.

Whenever I try to use cheats for infants or toddlers, my cheat bar becomes stuck on my screen and the cheats do not work. I have to exit to main menu and reload into the game to get it to work. 
I do have the growing together pack necessary for the cheats I am trying to use. 

I’m on ps5 as well and it’s unplayable because I use cheats too, saving doesn’t work and pressing any button I can to exit the cheat bar doesn’t work. It’s so frustrating 

I’m not sure if this has been commented on before, I haven’t seen a message so I thought I’d share. I was wondering if anyone else was having issues with the cheat bar glitching out? Recently (and I’m not contributing it to a specific update or anything) I’ve noticed that when trying to add something in the cheat bar, as soon as it opens for me to add anything the bar goes white and I’m not able to type anything else. The only thing I can do to fix it is push the options button and go to manage worlds. It normally happens here and there but I’ve noticed it a lot more recently, is anyone having the same issue?

After this Feb 12th update my cheat bar gets stuck and I'll always have to force stop my game. Also sometimes im able to save the game, but most of the time I cant because it crashes. Not to mention im still dealing with the autonomous flirting which is ruining my marriages in the game. 

Im on Ps5 and my cheats bar get stuck also after this Feb 12th update. 

Since the new bug fixes I go to enter cheats into the cheat screen and I can not get out no matter what buttons I push. I have to go to main screen and it does it every time I go to use the cheats

Same things with me  I’m on ps4

I normally don’t come on here to create threads or comments. Bug fixes are irritating, but I usually trust they’ll eventually be resolved. With this game, though, it’s hard to tell if new issues will actually be fixed, especially since the game has been broken in multiple ways for a long time.

I eventually got tired of dealing with it and felt the need to speak up, especially about this current issue affecting console players. Problems like this make normal gameplay unnecessarily difficult and take away from the experience.

Please fix this issue and address the ongoing problems in the game so I can continue building and enjoying the lore and stories that players end up creating themselves. Thank you.
