Re: Changing Keybindings in The Sims 4

@Rebekyy 

I know that there can be reasons to change some keys but in this case the 1 key is literally just above the 0 key. You are welcome to suggest a benefit from exchanging the way these two keys work. Mouse buttons  were not involved.

I guess I just wanted to point out for example that even my English keyboard has a slightly different layout than usual, the 0 key and 1 key are the same size and 1 is not directly above the 0.

I brought up mouse buttons as I have many extra buttons on the one I use, it would be extremely useful for me personally to be able to change certain bindings to those mouse buttons as I do for most other games. It is very common to be able to bind in game command to use mouse keys, even if its just the standard MB1, 2 and 3 that most mouses have.

I believe that there are enough posts, indicating that:
changing the keys on the keyboard is more than essential these days.

But there is still no valid answer to this subject dating from October 2018

I've found this so frustrating recently but I have come up with a solution that works for me but I understand not everybody will have access to this option. As I play lots of different styles of games I have a separate keypad (Razer Tartarus V2) and through the Razer Synapse app I was able to create a keymap for the sims 4 and rebind the key functions on my keypad as opposed to changing the bindings with in the game as you normally are able to in all games except Sim apparently. I hope this helps any one who has the means to get a keypad or uses one already, but I understand it's not necessarily possible for everyone. 

Here in 2025 and the issue remains unsolved.
