I play on Xbox 1 with mouse and keyboard when in build mode I cant build as easily as I used to. When I click on something a rotation arrow comes up while using my sims 3 camera. I don’t like the sims 4 camera because you cant move around by clicking the floor. Also when I click on my objects or other sims the interactive/social menu takes like 30 clicks to come up.

Where’s the solution?

While console Simmers can use both the Sims 4 Camera and Sims 3 Camera options when using a mouse and keyboard it wasn’t the intent that only one of the two camera modes would let you interact with objects in Build Mode. Console simmers using a mouse and keyboard and using either camera mode, objects can, again, be interacted with and adjusted as expected.
Fixed in Patch 1.97.42/1.73
