So I’ve been playing the sims 4 console for 2 days now. The first day i got so upset with the controls that i quit the game and went to sleep. (honestly i was very tired that day and did not have the patience) but TODAY was a new day. I was able to get a hang of the controls and i played it until 3am. It was a great time. Some bugs i have noticed though.
1.Curser moves a little to fast sometimes. Maybe add a sensitivity scale like other console games?
2. Sim children react to the monster under the bed every single night....
3. Toddlers constantly have night mares.
4. Switching from Ui to curser mode is glitchy at times with curser disappearing.
5. Some people have had issues with saving their game.
6. Ui and pop ups have tiny font that is hard to see at times especially since us users are not as close to the tv as we are our PCs.
7. When toddlers are sent off to day care you can still hear them giggling on the lot....
8. Lot traits appear continueously 3 times when you come on the lot or leave the lot and come back.
9. Some icons get stuck when switching back and forth from Ui to curser.
And that’s all I’ve seen so far. Thank you Sims team for giving us an exact port of the Pc game. I feel like I’m actually getting the full experience. And can not wait for dlc. My pic broke down the beginning of this year and i haven’t got to play sims 4 since. So glad that I’m able to play from the comfort of my couch.

Once you get used to the controls and those annoying tutorial bubbles have stopped the game is enjoyable. Biggest problem now is the extremely annoying and gamebreaking save bug.
They should have just added a tutorial mini campaign that teaches all the basics rather than have annoying bubbles showing at inappropiate times.
1. In CAS if I want to try a different colour item of clothing I seem to have to remove that item and then re-select in order to get the colour options.
2. In CAS when removing an item of clothing to fix point 1 it randomly scrolls up
3. In Live mode sometimes the needs panel disappears but the hover overs still show, also the hover overs cover the needs - is there a way to remove these?
4. I've also experienced the cursor disappearing
5. My sim was at the gym when she needed to go to work, the sim went to the home lot and the time said it was 3 hours before she was due for work and the skills and friendships gained from the gym had been lost
6. Not sure if this is a bug or a lack of understanding but my sim has gathered items in her inventory but there's no way to sell them (like on the PC) only place them in the world
Took me ages to realise I had to use thre hammer tool to sell a fridge.
Might want to mention number 7 to SimGuruNick on twitter.

I have experienced issues number 4,5 and 9 plus other ones not mentioned here. I hope we get a patch to fix them as soon as possible.

Thanks I hadn't thought of that. The suggestion from rekandtrs works by pressing the Y when you grab the object

> I was having the same exact issue! I found out that you can delete objects by pressing Y in build mode. But i dunno of that works in live mode. I don’t have time this morning to test it out before work. But it’s possible that could be it. If that doesn’t do it then it’s definitely a bug.
Thank you, that works a treat!
> I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm not doing it correctly. I'm playing on the Xbox one. When my Sim starts an action that doesn't have an ending such as playing the guitar, I can't get him to stop to do other actions. Per the control scheme, hitting Y will cancel the current action. However that doesn't do anything. The X will appear over the action, but it doesn't actually stay when I hover away. I've tried pressing A, tried queuing other actions, but then I can't cancel them either. I can cancel an action like eating or a shower... But not the guitar playing. Very very frustrating. It's there something that I'm missing?
Hi, I tested this out with my sim on the Xbox One and had her play the guitar, if I press Y she immediately stops playing so sounds like a bug with your game. Have you tried a new sim/ save?
Update it seems to never fail to cease functioning. Though I figured you could just press start and main menu to reset it
Another question, does anyone know how to change the language of the game ? I have it in my native dutch but would like to have it in english on my PS4. Any help would be welcome

Have you tried changing the ps4s region and language to UK English?
This is an issue on pc too
> Ive experienced 5 or 6 crashes and alot of bugs. All of the bugs listed by the op and more. Lag too not sure if thats due to framerate, wish we could choose 30 fps or 60fps. Surely the pro and xbox one x can handle 60fps.
I have experienced no lag on the xbox 1x and I have had several times where there were a lot of characters on screen at once. Game is super smooth on the 1 X. Just needs some bug patching.
2 and 3 aren't really bugs. To avoid the monster under the bed there should be a night lamp called defender light or something similar. Place next to the bed and it shouldn't come anymore. And depending on their traits, some toddlers have more nightmares than others. Once they reach thinking level 3 the nightmares should stop completely
Its random stutters for me on my pro. Its not the console as its new and no other game does it.
