We've been able to use a mouse and keyboard for years now. I found the controls horrible to use though so I switched back to a controller. Then again I've played Sims on console since the early 2000's so I'm used to the controller.
This is the usual feeling for not-experienced gamers, but you need to understand keyboard and a mouse are a million times better than any controller (gamepad, joystick, whatever) in terms of ergonomy, responsiveness, and other things.
Most people who grown up playing both pcs and consoles end up always being a pc gamer. And i can tell you that ive been playing consoles and pcs since more than twenty years ago (probably way more but im too embarrased to say it LOL), and i dont change keyboard+mouse for anything. In a million years. Controllers are just way too limited in terms of control (ironically) but specifically response.
I sometimes play the console when im with friends because the pc is in my bedroom and its small, but otherwise, PC always.
The sims 4, playing it on a console, honestly i didnt try, but ima not going to.....
I considered myself to be an avid gamer, playing life simulators like Sims and Stardew Valley to Soulsborne genre. Been gaming for around 20 years, gone to Pax East 3 times. I play Sims on both PC and PS4, I do use M&K for both since I find building to be easier. My gaming pc is rather big and I have a carry case for my console so I can take it when visiting my parents. Also PS4 has some great exclusives like Bloodborne.
While M&K is to me best for the Sims there are some games that play better with controller such as Dark Souls, Witcher 3 and anything involving melee combat or sword fighting. I tend to get controllers that have the back paddles which are helpful. I switch back and forth, Far Cry 5 felt better on M&K but with the Division games I prefer controller, left strafing to shoot was comfortable.
On the Cyberpunk 2077 forum most of the members were playing with a controller versus M&K, wanting to kick back and relax since it was single player and not competitive. FPS with multiplayer then yes usually M&K will give you an advantage. However with aim assist there was a controversy with Fortnite players using controllers in competitions. It is not so cut and dried.
