[JTB] Can't change color/style of the droid when creating one

Hero

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.131.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All up to date (including early access Cottage living)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Travel to Batuu 2. Try to buy a droid 3. Try to switch the color/style of the head or after choosing one, the color/style of the body
What happens when the bug occurs? You can't change the color/style of the head/body once one is selected. You have to unselect the choice first, then you can select a new one.
What do you expect to see? Being able to switch style without having to unselect like before.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After Patch 1.77.131 and the fix for the droid purchase.

It is still possible to create a droid in the color/style you want but you need to manually unselect your choice.

 

Choices are selected, you can't switch

Unselect, now you can switch

Recent Update (07/20/2021) Droid Issues

★★★ Newbie

When I try to make a droid, the menu to design the droid pops up, but I cannot select the color and/or design on the head of the droid. The latest patch solved the issue with the pop up menu not appearing when designing a droid, but now it does not let you select the color/design of the droid head.

@Catdedyhumpdance Could you make a new bug report in the bug forum ?

Thanks

EDIT: It does work if you unselect the selection first. Still a bug but it's a workaround.

 

EDIT EDIT: Created a bug report and merged your post.

@0fb2c024889b45f1d48bc080c1b557c3 I merged your post with the main thread on this.

Could you test if the trick with unselecting first also works for you ?

Good Luck

Try unselecting your choice first, then select a new one.

I had run into this issue as well.  

Once I had the opportunity to return to Batuu (which was not immediate - I have a lot going on in that save), I tested Crin's work-around.

Beginning my selection by DE-selecting the red domed head at upper left, which was selected by default, I was able then to select a different head, and from there a body, and receive a custom droid as intended.
