What things did you find them confusing exactly? You control them, check their motives, go to Map view by pressing M, direct your sims to visit other lot, it's basically the same like Sims 4. do what you usually do in sims 4.

the main parts for me are:

how do i get a job
how do i turn the camera properly
how do i know what to do with children and kids
how do i make sure my sims don't die

1. To get a job you will receive a daily newspaper by a paperboy/girl in the morning, click on it and there is an option for job vacancy, not every job is available from newspaper and they will randomly rotate, another alternative is through computer that you can buy at buy mode or library has a spare one you can use, or there are several rabbithole building on the map with red Icon, if your sims want to work as a doctor you need to click on the hospital and there is an option for you to join the career, if you want to bs police officer go to the police station.

2. To turn the camera, hold right click mouse and move your mouse left, right, forward or backward. In addition you can use > < on your keyboard

3. For children and kids they will do atleast some of the interaction that the adult can do, they need to go to school otherwise their grade is falling, the bus will pick them up at around 8am every week day, sometime you will get a pop up to approve field trip, they need to do homework everyday, with generations installed they can pull prank and do mischief, any adult family members in the vicinity will scold them and give them punishment based on the severity oftheir action,you can either left them off the hook or make your sims do chores to get on their parents good side

4. There are several ways for you to prevent your sims from random death, go to the graveyard and find a death flower and keep it at their inventory, whenthey died click on grim reaper to give the flowers, or any household member can practice chess so they will ask reaper on a chess match in exchange for him to resurrect the dying Sims.
