Not being able to scroll and select in Create A Sim is a new issue with the latest patch!
If you’ve been wondering why it’s so difficult scrolling through the Create A Sim catalogue with the recent game patch on Consoles then you’re not alone. The latest Sims 4 issue for Xbox and Playstation forbids the player to search through the items catalogue such as tops, bottoms within the “show all” section. The ability to scroll through the catalogue and select an item of your choice is gone!
Forum user 87458054 also verified that using specific subcategories such as Jackets or Tank Tops will resolve the issue. “Necklaces and hats but out a lot too” they’ve stated on the latest EA Forums thread, with several more comments on the thread:
After the newest update I can’t scroll down shirts or pants in the ‘show all’ section, but if I specify jackets or tank tops or any of the other ones it works. Necklaces and hats bug out a lot too but I managed to scroll eventually

I also can not scroll down the long hair, hats, jackets, boots, and Tank tops. I play on xbox next gen, getting a bit sick now of every time there being new update something else brakes it’s becoming a bit of a joke.

Experiencing the same on PS5! I hoped for today’s update to patch up some of the technical issues, but now it’s even more unplayable. I’m so disappointed

It’s not gone just bugged I discovered a workaround for this and eyebrows you can click into another outfit category as well , place an item on your sim and go back to show all tops and it scrolls just fine, some of the menus take a minute but will eventually let you scroll like the hair and for eyebrows you have to go into the face category select one give it a minute to apply to your sim and then it lets you scroll through and select eyebrows no problem
AI quality assurance strikes again. Somehow, EA thinks a person opening the game and checking basic functions, like CAS, isn’t necessary.
