The controls were like that. But mine are all mixed...even when I checked urlier. So my problem is not fixed. :/ (Tab IS what I use. It takes so much better pictures.) I think I have to change something in the background. but I don't where or how.
Did you change anything since the last time you played? Did you try repairing the game? (By right clicking the game in Origin, and choosing 'repair game'.)

I Tried repairing my game a couple of times. (I did it again just now actually) One time, I even deleted a couple of the files in the program files in the sims 4 directory and repaired it again... I guess it was not the good files because it did nothing ☹️ I could just stop using the Tab...but you know...

But all the buttons work for you, they just do the wrong thing ?
Is this a notebook keyboard or a desktop one ?
- 10 years ago1. Yes
2. I have a desktop keyboard - crinrict10 years agoHero+
Could you try moving the following file to the desktop: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\options(.ini)
Then start the game. You will need to reset all your game settings but maybe this will fix the issue.
You can delete the file you moved if everything is back the way you wanted.

I did what you said: Taking Option.ini from documents and reseting my Configs and restarting it again. It didn't work. >< OMG I'M BOTHERING YOU SO MUCH! I don't know if it will help, but last year, in march, I bought a new computer and I transfered everything from my laptop to my new computer. Including every files (For not losing anything) It worked. And then, June came and a new update too so I downloaded it and that's when the Tab controls buttons mixed.

Let's try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
- Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
- Tray Folder
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
- Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

I Tried everything that you told in the other link. I created a totally new game with nothing of my old stuff and the buttons are still switched like before! :O

I don't think that it makes a difference but do you have Num lock on ?
You did switch between Sims 3 and Sims 4 mode right ?
Tagging @Phantomlover1717 to see if she has more ideas.
- Phantomlover171710 years agoLegendCould you try a different keyboard? Might be mentioned already.
- 10 years ago
Yeah I tried the sims 4 cam mode and for a keyboard, I don't have another one so I can't try. Well...I think I will redownload it. :/ It might be the only option. Or get used to the new controls. Thank you guys for trying. So much~~ 🙂 And ''Happy Simmin' '' XD
