Re: Changing Keybindings in The Sims 4

I play on a laptop (Mac) because I don’t have a pc. My laptop is over 3 years old so some of the keys do not work and some of those keys are needed to do certain things in the game. Such as my control key which I need to bring up the console in game. There are settings where you can change the use of keys on Mac but sometimes the game doesn’t pick it up so it would be heaps easier if I was able to change keybinds. Yes I can get my keyboard fixed but I can’t afford it and it takes way too long, I’ve had to get it fixed once before and it took 2 weeks.

    I just started playing sims 4 on my laptop (pc), there is no button to order your sim to go upstairs. There is no way to even access the second or upperfloors unless you have a controllabke sim there. Ive read how you need to go to the stairs and press X or pause. X just zooms away (why is there even a key for it when I can easily zoom in and out using the mouse/touch pad) and Pause doesnt do anything. Every single time I go online to see what key I need to press to do something it never works on my laptop. If there was a way to edit Controls I could at the freaking least see what key/combination I do need to press.

    Honestly kinda ruins the game for me.

    @wc9svejxp8y6  In the upper-right corner of the screen, there are a few different buttons for various controls, two of which are little triangles/arrows that point up and down.  You can use those to go up or down a floor.  Or you can use the Page Up and Page Down keys to switch floors, although this doesn't work on all keyboard layouts.

    Once you're viewing the correct floor, click on whatever object you want the sim to use, or click the floor itself and select Go Here.
