For people playing on a console there has been a bug in CAS for a long time where the buttons on the controller quit working. It’s a cas issue only and it’s extremely aggravating because there’s no w...
Ideas
Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PlayStation 5
Which language are you playing the game in?: English
How often does the bug occur?: At least once in most play sessions, if not every time I enter CAS.
What is your current game version number?: Most recent as of 4th March
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?: Cottage Living, Island Living, Get Famous, Vampires, Parenthood, Laundry Day, Backyard Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?: Not sure, enter create-a-sim and try using both the cursor and the quick actions (pressing tab to remove the cursor and using the joysticks to navigate, triangle button to remove clothes, etc.) It also often takes a lot of clicks to register clicking on the head or hair, for example.
What happens when the bug occurs?: Buttons like X and O stop registering my input, meaning I can’t select categories or go back, and sometimes using the joysticks also becomes impossible to use. I can’t pause the game or anything during this time, so I just sort of button mashed until I was free.
What do you expect to see?: To be able to click on the icons.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?: No, there are no Mods on console.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system?: This has been happening ever since I started playing the Sims 4 on console, several years ago.
Please describe the patch or change you made.:
I have been having this happen, and it's so frustrating. A mouse doesn't work either. Can't open the box to type breed or anything. It happens in CAS constantly. I have had it happen in build mode a couple of times, but rare. And the mouse works there. CAS is mess. Makes it impossible to play. I needed to delete a kitten (a wondering cat came home pregnant and I had no idea). The controller is something imperative to game play. What happens when I want to dress a new Sim? What happens if I want to add a new horse? It does happen with all controllers. I have tried several. All of them do it.
