I have the same issue. I was playing and building lots and I tried to give these lots traits in the upper left corner. But when I tried to switch to the trait section via RB button nothing happened. And there is no cursor option available to open this. I turned of the console, plugged it out and restarted it. After that I tried to use a different controller. Did not help. I updated the controller firmware and tested the buttons. They all work fine but as soon as I switch back into sims 4 the only button that doesn’t work is RB. It is definitely not a hardware problem and has something to do with the game/software. I have this issue since a couple months but since the last update it got unplayable.

Has anything come of this? I can't have a running restaurant without choosing staff uniforms. Any info on a new update?

Same problem. This is the first time it has happened since I installed the newest expansion (Eco) though - never had an issue before. Its super annoying because the only way I have found to get back the tab (R1/L1) functionality is to completely close and reopen the entire application on my PS4.

Upon entering back into build mode to change another uniform the LB and RB button didt not work again. Went into live mode on a family and they worked to adjust time but not to change tabs on the phone

What is your current game version number? 1.28.72.3400 (64-bit)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except My First Pet Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? In build mode, edit the uniform of any restaurant staff by going into CAS. Additionally, sometimes simply switching between pre-made outfits will immediately boot you into CAS, without asking if you want to go into it (which is normal behavior).
What happens when the bug occurs? After exiting CAS, L1/R1 no longer function in build mode or in the Gallery. Exiting build mode, bringing up the cheat/debug bar, going into Live Mode and exiting to main menu and then reloading the save does not fix the issue. Only rebooting the game fixes it. Additionally, the Gallery also bugs out visually with the left-hand categories flowing off-screen and 'wwwwwww' repeated next to controller icons that extremely rapidly flash through every button save the D-pad, Options and Touchpad (located in the picture under 'Profile' tab). This bug remains after exiting build mode.
What do you expect to see? After exiting CAS, game should allow navigation with L1/R1 and editing additional uniforms. Gallery should not bug out.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console, no mods available.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Unknown. Have not tried to edit a uniform in months. Have bought numerous packs since getting Dine Out, and there have been numerous updates.
Please describe the patch or change you made. N/A
I have also recently re-installed the game (unrelated to this bug), restored licenses, rebuilt my PS4 database and started a brand new save.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Edit outfits for restaurant employees. Once in CAS, the button to check your controls (L3) stops working; this how I usually know the bug has started impacting my gameplay and that my bumpers will stop working as well once I exit CAS.
What happens when the bug occurs? L1 and R1 bumpers stop working. You can no longer edit options in the restaurant menu or even go to the tab where the outfits are located. You can no longer rotate objects in build mode.
What do you expect to see? My controls to work.

Please describe the patch or change you made. Appeared after the Eco Lifestyle update on PS4.
Glitch makes my R1 and L1 bumpers stop working. I’m not sure if it’s only activated by editing restaurant outfits, sometimes my controls just stop working mid build. Glitch is especially evident looking at the gallery. You can no longer view the different tabs, and the icon that usually shows the control for filtering your search will flash between different controls. There’s already another post on here about the gallery glitch, but the issues are definitely linked somehow as I only had this bug appear after I placed a lot from the gallery when I made a new save file for the Eco Lifestyle update for console.
