can i play the sims 4 with a ps5 controller

@Gabeuncharted35  Sims 4 doesn't support controller use on the PC version.  However, you might be able to use Steam's built-in controller support, or a third-party app that maps controller buttons to keyboard keys.  I haven't heard from anyone who's done this, so I have no idea whether it actually works; I'm just saying that some tools do exist to help in theory.

Keep in mind that Sims 4 also doesn't support remapping the key bindings, so you'd need to map the controller buttons to the existing functional keys.
