[XB/PS] Can't rotate lot

When in build mode on my XBOM, I'm trying to rotate when I select to move my lot or move my house.  The rotate (LT, RT) buttons just exit out of the move.

Note from EA_Solaire:

    Also related to issues rotating things in build mode, I realized I am also having the exact same issue with trying to rotate pillars. It is only noticeable with the square shaped pillars, but it is also annoying because when building things sometimes the square shaped pillars will automatically rotate on their own into a different angled position than what I placed them as so I am forced to delete those pillars with the sledgehammer tool and then place a new one there from the pillar menu in build mode. I mention this incase its related to fixing the rotating lot issue.

    This problem still persists after how long? Only recently has this started happening to me, I was trying to rotate my lot and the arrows were gone and any time I pressed r1 or l1 like normal it would exit out of the tool. Upon looking up the problem I see now that people have been complaining about this for a long time yet the sims team has done nothing. So many problems have persisted on the console versions of this game and has made it practically unplayable. Can we get some clarity on when things like this can be expected to get fixed?

    Very recently after an update I also can't rotate stairs when copying existing stairs that are already placed in live mode. It has the same effect for me as when I try to rotate lots and pillars where it switches the tool type selection instead. I am currently only able to rotate stairs that I select from the stair menu in build mode which is a lot more tedious. I am on xbox series x console.

  • This happens to me after playing for a while. It's like the controls from a previous UI/Menu is stuck, and the option to rotate the lot (and sections of walls/fences) has vanished. I think it's related to this bug report, where the controller legend for Custom Venues is persistent in BB mode on different saves.
