Controls too difficult to play

There was some supposedly leaked news about a mouse and keyboard for Xbox l which was reported here

It probably is fake news or wishful thinking though as it has been deleted. There are claims of keyboards/mice combinations but these cost.

I think that there may be one for the xbox 1x eventually from what I have read on other sites. If so I could see Sims5 becoming available on that as there would be Terraflops available and it would be years for PCs to emulate that.

I think it just takes time to get use to IMO.
I was also in this boat when first playing but adjusted the more I played.
But I do think keyboard support would be awesome especially for using cheats! It's a pain to do.

Gamers are being worried about mouse and keyboard players getting advantages in their games, as the mouse gives more accuracy. They don't want the addition but the game builders could have the option to make them opt out it couldn't they? All I can say is that I might buy the Sims 4 game and the X box One x if mouse and keyboard use were added. I bought the original X box for Sims games but rarely used it after.

It would add a whole new perspective for game developers, especially as Microsoft want to make games crossover between platforms. Think of the Sims 3, 4 or even 5 with the Terabytes that X box One x can offer! It could also give other firms ideas about producing their own Sim type games and not the constant battling and killing we get now on current platforms.

Since I have never played any sims game on PC, I can't compare the controls to mouse and keyboard...always played on PS and/or xbox.
I read a lot people "whining" about the controls on console and yes, it took me a bit longer getting used to them too and sometimes they're still wonky, but all in all they're ok and I was always able to achieve what I wanted.

Honestly, I am not worried about the PC-Gamers getting advantages because of mouse and keyboard, I am used to a controller and would probly need a longer time getting used to the mouse+keyboard, than it took me to get used to the sims 4 controls on XB1.

I only miss a keyboard when I have to write something (like in search or name a song/book/sim etc.) ;)

I will say though, their is some kind of bug where the controls go haywire after a longer time played, so I have to fully close the game and restart it to work again...that's the only really bad thing and I hope they fix it.

I do not give a hoot about gamers looking at what gives advantages, looking at Sims 4 there should be no talk about advantages when Sims series does not fit the mode of what is offered on PC in other genres outside of the SIms.

The dualshock 4 has a keyboard attachment. Look on Amazon and eBay.

They really need to bring back auto roofs

I just opened my sim 4 xbox version that was given to me last year. I am so disappointed. The controls is so confusing. It took me 20 Mins to get out of build mode and I eventually gave up and switched it off. It lags and its just impossible to actually enjoy the game play. Very disappointed. It could have been so amazing.

PS4 supports keyboard and mouse, this seems like a great thing to patch in to me.

She (and many others I've talked to) said that the controls are so hard to use for the console versions that she can't even really play it. She was pretty upset since she spent so much money on a game that she can't play. She mainly builds and said it was frustrating to try to build with the controller. She was wondering if there were plans to make the game more playable, a different set up for the differences between playing on a computer with a mouse and keyboard vs. with a console's controller.

I am in the same position. I stopped playing about 2 months ago. And it seems no one at EA is paying attention.
