Default or Legacy Style Pie Menu (categorized)

While I voted for Legacy, it still depends on the situation. I always play with entreprenours in the game, so for example if you are playing retail, it is important
to set it to legacy, so that the sim will only focus on raising
the curb appeal of the customer. If I am not playing with managing, I use default

I switch between the two pretty regularly, depending on what I'm doing. But for general play, I opt for Default as it occasionally saves me an extra click or two.
You have all the same choices as far as I have seen, it's just a matter of what you have to click to get to them.

After reading this post, I may go ahead and switch over. I've never really given it much of a shot. If it's time-saving it may be better for me. I hate having to comb through the Friendly category looking for something specific with the game on pause while I try to find it. :open_mouth:

@KalopsianDreamer In the default style, certain interactions are at the root menu (show up without clicking any categories) based on the current sim's activities, who they are socializing with, their mood/traits, etc. The legacy style puts everything neatly under the category it belongs to and has those categories all at the root menu level, so basically the root menu shows only the categories which you then pick from to get to what you want.

If you are always clicking to get to the categories and not picking the situational choices, then legacy choice will save you some clicking. If you often find the game has put the interaction you want right there at the root level, then the default is going to be what saves you clicking.

While I play with Sims 3 style camera, I really like the default pie menu for Sims 4. It feels more intuitive to me. I can find things. I used to hate having to hunt for the options I wanted and pause every 3 seconds to find the right interactions. I can just play now.

Thank you! I never understood it before, but that makes a lot of sense. I'll have to try the legacy style and see what I prefer.

I never used the default. I think when I first played TS4, I couldn't find what I actually wanted with the contextual menu, so I went back to the legacy one.

I play 2,3, and 4, so it's easiest to use the legacy style since it's what I use in the other games

I have always liked legacy style. There is no reason to change now.

I've always played the default. I haven't tried the legacy option. But I think I might give it a go now.
