    Since I've downloaded Get to Work on my ps4 the build/buy mode glitches seem to have gotten MUCH worse. I can't rotate objects half the time and I closed my game out. Didn't help. Also half the time undo button changes tile movement instead of undoing (no I'm not holding an object or trying to paint anything) The ∆ button just flashes the eyedropper but doesn't actually copy it so I have to actually flip around to the eyedropper or click the button a million times til it decides to work. And a new one since downloading expansion is the function of triangle and square will randomly change to something like " paste multiple" and "change variant" (and I've even pulled up the controls map and it actually changes the wording of the button function)

    Not sure if I’m posting in the right place, but on pc you can place a computer left, middle and right on a desk? Is there anyway you can do this on console?
  • animevampanimevamp Posts: 136 Member
    Computers can only go in the middle of a desk. Put it on a dining table if you want it on the right or left.

    Ok so for the xbox, I’m trying to change my object’s size by pressing the 2 triggers and left/right. First off, (sorry I’m pretty clueless when it comes to the xbox. I’m a lot better at pc) what do you mean by left/right? Secondly, every time I press the triggers, it shows me the controls. How do I avoid that?

    Haha sorry never mind I figured it out

    As far I know, there isn't. I really wish there was.

    Since the last update whenever i go into build mode and then go to my library the controls change and i am no longer able to undo/redo or delete whole rooms at once i have to delete things one at a time. For some reason it only happens if i go into the my library if i dont the controls dont change.

    How does one navigate to the buy button when buying books, you’d think you would just hit left on the d pad or control stick but it doesn’t highlight the but button

    Does anyone know how to sledgehammer more than one item on the PS4

    I'm having the same issues during buy / build mode. The eyedropper tool often does not work. I also can not cancel the selection of an object (in buy / build mode); To choose another object and deselect the previous one, I have to click the B button many times (it even hurts the finger)

    I'm having this exact same problem. Hope there's a patch or a way to fix it now...

    I have this problem too, and it has been months so probably won't be fixed. I just deal with it. Lol

    How do you lock onto sim while they are jogging on the Xbox?

    Hi, I was told to post here by an EA advisor, he made notes on his end but said to post here for the sims team as well. I've been a long supporter of sims since 2000. I recently have bought more expansion packs for sims 4 PC but my computer/2 different laptops cannot handle it and crashes which is fine, I know I need higher SPECS. I purchased sims 4 for console (4 months ago), which let me say is frankly unplayable. It takes 5 minutes to do what would take 30 seconds on PC. the controls are impossible and super frustrating. I feel like if you implement keyboard and mouse for your game on PS4 everyone would benefit. As a long time sims player for the last 18 years, using the ps4 controls are impossible, and makes the game unplayable. PS4 already supports mouse and keyboard as I have used it on the console, but when opening sims 4 it doesn't work anymore. Please add keyboard and mouse support, If you do I can certainly say I'll be buying the expansions on PS4 because I've been dying to play them! Since my computer can't handle it anymore its so annoying not being able to play, and on ps4 the controls are so bad I don't even want to play. Please fix this and add mouse and keyboard for ps4!

    > To be honest, I'm struggling playing on the PS4. It's not easy to click on a sim who's walking fast or jogging down the sidewalk to try and click on them to interact with them. There isn't even basic joystick sensitivity settings built in the Settings menu. Build mode is where a mouse and keyboard is key, trying to place objects in the exact spot you want them is really a pain with joysticks.

    COMPLETELY AGREE!!! The game is unplayable in my opinion. its so frustrating!

This is absolutely unacceptable. No matter where I click, it gives me the options for Face, Hair, Hats, Accessories and Makeup, that's it. I can edit the body, the clothes, the hair, just not the eyebrows or eyes no matter where I click.

    > I spoke with THREE support representatives and they essentially told me tough plum, to post it in the forums and hope for an answer! That there is a "sweet spot" I need to find on my own and I have to deal with it as is until the issue is resolved. Absolutely and completely ridiculous! How can you justify selling a game that is so obviously incomplete that you can't even click on the desired option and edit it?! That's the most basic of features. This game is an utter disappointment and EA Help is even worse than the game itself.

    The game is totally unplayable and a huge 🐸🐸🐸🐸 off honestly, I spent $60 on a game that I can't even play. I've been playing sims for 18 years, and the controls on ps4 are totally horrible, and frustrating.

    You'll get used to the controls. I thought they were really hard in the beginning, but now they're fine and don't find them difficult at all. :)

    I've tried for 4 months, its beyond frustrating lol. Still takes me forever to build, do interactions in the game. Would be much better if they'd support mouse and keyboard. I've tried so hard to get use to the controls :(

    Has anyone else noticed whenever you type in the move objects cheat you then will get free rotation for the object you are placing

    You don't need the cheat to freely rotate.

    <Is there a way, on console, to foce to sims to be married to each other without playing as them?>
    Edit their household in CAS and underneath the walk style button there is another one which when clicked on, can be used to modify relationships between sims such as marriage, roommates or siblings!

    Click on another item so the sims will wear that (I always take the one next to the item I want to change), then click back on the item you want the sim to wear in another color, you should now be able to change the color before the sim wears it.
    So it's a little workaround but it's working.

    You can do that in-game. Just hover the pointer over the sim & select CHANGE OUTFIT. When you do this, your sim will then twirl into a new outfit.

    Now to change into a SPECIFIC outfit, that can only be done in CAS

    Hope this helps :)
