[Vidya] So I played Sims 4 for a bit before the power went out, and I spent most of that time fighting the controls

the camera especially was determined to fight me every chance it got

I wound up in my sims tree more than once, staring at nothing

I have no idea how to make the overhead lights go away, so I'm constantly trying to move the camera to see what the hell my sim or her friend are doing

they've got awesome items in the building side, but I'm constantly digging in menus trying to find what I need

ʙʟᴀᴄᴋɢᴜᴀʀᴅ ʙᴏʏ
it took way too long to figure out the new building controls, though that's more of a me problem than the game's problem

I tried looking up YouTube videos on how the hell to do it but just kept getting tips on how to make my house look pretty

ʙʟᴀᴄᴋɢᴜᴀʀᴅ ʙᴏʏ
I can barely figure out what the tools do, but I have some good tips if I ever do

I'm also shocked at how tiny each of the towns are? the Sims 3 towns felt much bigger

ʙʟᴀᴄᴋɢᴜᴀʀᴅ ʙᴏʏ
the lots all seem super tiny too compared to the Sims 3

I do like playing with the Create a Sim and all its options; that's definitely a huge improvement

ʙʟᴀᴄᴋɢᴜᴀʀᴅ ʙᴏʏ
I wish half the tutorials out there were like "okay but what if our audience is dumb as hell?" because I am and their tips are too advanced for my dumbass brain

I felt the same way about the controls. I hadn't played since like... sims 2? so it's not just you

Did you try changing the camera to the Sims 3 style camera?

: I did! it helped slightly but changing your angle or moving the camera to a new spot were still a pain in the ass
