Re: Changing Keybindings in The Sims 4

@jpkarlsen have you never played any other pc game. almost all let you change these. I for one have back and forth buttons on my mouse and a key binding for page up and down would be perfect for them but this game for some reason doesn't follow the same standard as every other pc game, having customizable keybindings.

  • it’s the build mode options for me.

    i don’t have an ALT key on my keyboard (it’s broken), so i can’t free move without awkwardly pressing down in a specific spot

    also the keys for sizing up and down are a little awkward and it’d be nice to be able to have one hand on my mouse, and the other on WASD and using the surrounding keys for shortcuts especially in build mode.

    id love a mod for this

    The number of times I have exited back to the neighborhood while in build mode because I accidentally hit F1 instead of ESCAPE .... why can I NOT set my own keybinds in this game?? I would definitely disable that f*@#ing F1 key.

    Yeah, when I hit that one key that is at the top of my keyboard that always closes the entire game out especially when multiplayer, sucks, can't even keybind out of Alt+f4 unless they added that in without me noticing in World of Warcraft. My old laptop had a key that did nothing at all except shut any game i was playing down faster than I do manually. That was it. Was next to my Delete key. 

    Could be worse, build mode could have a feature where you must save it before exiting out of it or it resets. But you lose nothing, just some irritation. 

    I have never used keys in build mode. My one thing for Sims has always been to keep my hands and everything else OFF of the keyboard. 

    On a serious note though, it sucks when your game gets shut off after spending a long and not yet complete session in CaS ^.^ That will get me to go find somewhere else to mind my business.
