If I’m very honest, I feel that when sims 4 console was made someone sat down and thought ‘how do I make this work on controller?’. And they came up with this way which while it was a bit tricky at first became so intuitive and all we could say is well done, you did it, this is amazing.
Many expected an awkward port direct from the PC with a cluttered screen, pull cursors and unneeded button presses and mode switches but no, we got a great experience tailored directly to us.
With this patch I feel someone sat down and thought ‘how do I make it better on console using a keyboard and mouse’? And their solution was to completely throw away all the great work you did with controllers and give us that awkward port.
It’s more fiddly, more cluttered, and everything takes longer. This isn’t me being adverse to change either, I just can’t see a single thing working better on controller than it did last week. Because I don’t think they were really considered, just keyboard and mouse.. which is going to be a huge minority of console players surely.
I hope very much you’ll reconsider this before the expansion and either completely revert it or give us separate controller/keyboard options. I’m sure the patch was very well meaning but this is objectively worse and I’d quite happy give up what came with it to go back to last week. It’s a shame because we were looking forward to infants and got this instead.
