The controls seem very counter intuitive. It’s great that they want to port the PC game to console in it’s entirety - like really that is a major leap. Unfortunately a control setup designed for a keyboard and mouse doesnt translate over very well to a controller.
And the worst part about that is that they didn't even build in full keyboard and mouse support for the console release. According to LGR's review, the keyboard only works for inputting things like sim and place names (probably the cheat console too). With keyboard and mouse support being something that can be added to console games, keyboard and mouse accessories for game consoles having been available for decades, and modern game consoles having USB ports that can support a standard keyboard and mouse...well, a keyboard and mouse compatible port of a PC game that relies heavily on mouse inputs should have been a no-brainer.
I was really hoping that the console port of the game would turn out well, since it's the first time ever that console gamers have gotten a full port of a
Sims game. I can't express my condolences enough to everyone who bought the game full price and now has to put up with the poorly optimized controls and a bugged save system. Two disastrous game launches in one holiday season (TS4 console port and
Star Wars Battlefront II)...I hope they learn their lesson soon.
