I recommend that you get a mouse.

    While a mouse would solve the issue, I don’t play sims at a table. I play on the couch or in bed, with my laptop on my lap. Using a mouse here isn’t ideal since I don’t really have a place to put it. Do you know of any way to edit the controls of the game?

        I am too. I can zoom in and out on my trackpad, but i cannot two finger swipe. EA did not really help me other than referring me to this column..
