I was playing tonight and after a couple of hours of play, I played a household, put the cursor on a bench-top to have a Sim clean it, pressed the Select button and nothing happened. Tried to click on a Sim, nothing happened. Went to play another household, placed the cursor on a Sim and it wouldn't respond when pressing the Select button. Press the touchpad on the controller and you can use the Select button on the corner menus but use the cursor, nothing.
How can I play if the cursor doesn't identify with the "X" button being pressed???

What happened was I noticed that one of my Sims who's naturally slim became chubby with puffy cheeks so I went in CAS and slimmed her back down. Went and played a household just to find out that the character interactions-menu wasn't popping up at all.
Last night after playing a few hours, clicked on the phone icon and it immediately closed again. Earlier in my play session, it stayed open until I closed it.
Also, what I've noticed since two patches ago is that sometimes when I go into CAS and I don't move the cursor away from the "PLAY" button in the bottom corner, it automatically clicks on it itself. I don't even touch the button on the controller.
Last night I'd been playing for at least several hours and when I clicked on the phone icon, it immediately shut off again, which means Sims are stuck and can't go anywhere.
I hope the gurus who fix the bugs are looking at this thread. I'd suggest let SimGuruNIck know. He always tells people if they have any issues about a patch to let him know.
I'm just thinking whether it happens when you go into CAS from the World Map after playing for a few hours, because two nights ago I accessed it via a Sim going to a drawer and it was still fine afterwards.
Would either of you be willing to share your save files?

In the meantime, we will continue to investigate this, but your save files may be very helpful to us in our investigation.
Interesting, thank you for the info. Would you be willing to share your save files, so my team can take a look at them?

The five-second rule does not apply when you have a two-second dog.
I haven't been able to play for a week because I'm having the same "cursor issue".. Like a few have already described, in the menu I can select (press X) on things no problem but when it comes to gameplay (live mode, CAS, or build mode) I can't interact with anything (press X).
In build mode I can press ■ on things to use the design tools, or
This Is the console version were talking about. It won't allow for custom content.

Same.
I finally get them to have the baby, and as soon as they all get home, the x button stops working. I’m in live mode, with a new baby, and I cannot interact with anything! Can’t save, can change people, everything seems ok except the select button.
They're working on a fix. It takes a while to investigate bugs. Hopefully we'll get a fix in the next console update.
