Switch Pro Controller on Steam?
Hello, I installed MySims Cozy Bundle on PC (Steam) today, I've encountered a couple of issues, and a few things that I believe should be changed.
Firstly, I've had issues using my Nintendo Switch Pro controller. I've connected it and used Steam input translation. In MySims 1, my inputs do nothing at all. In MySims Kingdom, they work as normal. I've seen one other user have the same issue, so there must be an issue with controller mapping for MySims 1, but not Kingdom. Also, when I try to use my controller inputs, the control menu shows Joycons, but there are Wii remote buttons shown in the menu, which is very confusing. I've included an image which shows this.
There are some other issues in MySims 1 with prospecting and fishing. Prospecting uses a different sound than the original Wii version, as well as Kingdom, and the sound plays very inconsistently. I believe this can be improved. Fishing in MySims 1 has problems with character animations and sound effects. They seem to play randomly and do not align with the actual fishing. The fishing is perfectly fine in Kingdom, so I believe this can be improved as well. This issue is also in the Switch version.
There are a few other things, while they are not necessarily issues, that I believe can be improved upon. The ability to shake trees by grabbing them and moving your mouse is gone. This was a charming feature that I think should return (to both MySims 1 and Kingdom). Chopping trees and mining essences in MySims Kingdom is now done automatically. I believe an input can be used to do it manually, just like how it originally was in the Wii version. I also believe the use of motion controls for certain actions (fishing, prospecting, etc.), can return for controllers as an alternative option to pressing a button.
Lastly, while this was described in another post, I think the games should be available separately from each other on PC.
I have been a MySims fan since the original games released when I was a young child, I really care about this series and would love to see more content in the future, but I think it is important to address the issues to create a higher quality game. Thank you for reading.
