Controlling sims with arrow keys

I only like keyboard controls like that in a game where I'm sort of playing AS the character I'm controlling. I would HATE those controls for a PC sims game. I don't nor do I want to feel like I'm playing as a certain character, I'm controlling them. Also I like to play more than one sim at a time and I like to queue up actions for everyone and then let them go through those interactions while I'm maybe focusing on another sim or whatever. I feel like direct keyboard control like that would make the game feel more limited.
