Console Players - Console Controls Poll

Hey console brothers and sisters. We are the minority. I know the game isn't as popular on console as it is on the PC but I am one who is very happy to have it on console.

My question to you is how do you find the console controls and bonus points if you also talk about the new console control overlays.
  • At first, the controls were unbearable and weird but I got used to it.

    But when we were able to choose between controller and kb&m, I quickly abandoned the controller ?. I feel more comfortable with kb&m.
  • I've gotten so use to using a controller that when I tried out mouse and keyboard it was too confusing lol. The only things I wish we could do is place trim and friezes to specific walls/roofs with a controller.
  • They work fine for me. The only time I use mouse & keyboard it to enter cheats.
  • I use mouse and keyboard mainly because it's easier for me to type cheats quickly.
  • I chose Other, and I'll explain why. I've been a Sims player since the first game, so I'm more familiar with keyboard and mouse controls. Having said that, I don't mind the controller at all and I feel it's just fine. At the same time though, I do see some weirdness from time to time and there currently seems to be some glitches that hurt things. The one I find most annoying is there are times when using the d-pad or left stick in menus where the input speed speeds up, making it hard to properly select anything. So for the overall setup and layout I would say Yay because I'm used to it at this point, but because of the problems I would say Nay and that's why I picked Other.
