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. 

  • @jpkarlsen One of the biggest benefits is that not everyone uses a keyboard with a number pad. So my 1 is in fact NOT right above the 0 key. Benefit to changing the keys would be (for me) to put the pause on ` instead.
