Changing Keybindings in The Sims 4

This is the real issue with this game !

Why are there not a way to change my keybindings in this game.! 

Heard many say that it is needed, and i think  THIS IS the only game in the world with lack of that feature.

Any with connection who can answer me WHY they have left out keybinds for this game ?!

    Omg, I'm glad it's not just me. I hate when I'm in the middle of building and go to hit ESC, but accidentally hit F1 instead and am suddenly taken through a loading screen into world view. I don't want that action to be a hot key. I will never want that action to be a hot key. If I want to go to the neighborhood map at any point, I will click on the button to take me there. And the fact that you cannot turn off or change any of those hot keys/keybindings is a usability nightmare that really is unacceptable at this stage of the game. 
    Is it a huge deal? No, not really, unless my game crashes trying to reload the lot I was working on. But it's certainly frustrating, and seems like one of those things that should have been addressed long ago, especially given how it's kind of an industry standard. 
    Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk. 😂

    Just started playing The sims 4 after 10 years, since it finally doesn’t feel «empty» anymore. Haven’t really played since The sims 2. I am mostly an fps gamer. But the nostalgia had me buy all the expantions and play the sims 4 for the last 5 months now. In 2025 fps players play on keyboards without the numpad or home/end buttons to get more space to move aorund the mouse.  And what do I use when I play The sims, the numpad and the home/end and page up/down. Its so stupid, please let me change it.  It feels so slow to only use the mouse to click all the buttons. I just wanna use the mouse to controll my sims and place walls/objects. For the rest I’d  like to use the keyboard.

     Not to mention I also play on a nordic keyboard and have to guess where would I size up and down objects etc.
