[LD] [CONSOLE] Can't click on genetics options after Rebirth

The 'reset to ressemble past sim' is completely broken. It just randomized features not even on the original sim. The mix genetics for rebirth is unusable because the overlay on console makes the cursor unable to interact with the genetic pop up thus cannot change parent or randomize child. Essentially I am forced to have a completely random npc looking sim because the reset and genetic option is broken. 

Edit: Added image of original sim. The clip shows what occurs with the overlay. When I press toggle cursor which is usually the solution when it's stuck on a overlay it will automatically close the genetics window. The clip is just after I pressed the ressemble past sim button. All the button does is change the brown eyes to yellow (neither in previous sim) if I age up then it adds vampire scars (also not on previous sim). I've tried for three hours pressing different buttons and inputs, nothing worked. The genetic window is on some non selectable overlay and toggling the cursor is impossible without closing the window. The ressemble past sim is just broken. I can understand the eyes and ears not always translating to infants but every feature is non identical to the reborn sim, the button is just broken. 

It's important to mention when genetics was first added the console had his same issue, I got so frustrated I stopped playing for a year and when I came back it was fixed. The cursor, overlay on console has always had issues and has been broken like this with updates and new features before. I just hope it will be fixed soon. Last time I stopped for a year and I have no idea how quick it was fixed in that time.

      Okay, issue is still there. I'm assuming it wont be a priority since so few are console users. But, a work around is to connect a mouse which will allow you to use the genetic part for rebirthing. The ressemble past sim is still broken for me so if it is the same for you then just download the sim your rebirthing into the family and use their genetics to make the rebirth sim look almost exactly like them then just delete the parent. That's the only work around I found.
