I'm having issues with the controls, one Minuit I'm trying to look through items to buy then the curser jumps around the screen on different icons
also I'm trying to create sims and it just won't let me change the gender, it just again keeps jumping to the main icons around the corners of the screen :/
am am I doing something wrong or is this the way it is because it feels like the game just isn't finished and needs more work! Feels like the game can't understand that I'm in a tab creating a sim and just wants me to either add another sim or take me back the the world icon, driving me mad
Solved! Go to Solution.

Make sure to press the left thumb stick to bring up the control menu so you can read the control layout. The control menu changes depending on what you are currently doing so there's lots of stuff to learn.
There are basically two modes and you need to utilize them both.. Cursor mode and menu mode. To change back and forth from menu mode to cursor mode, you need to press the touch pad on the ps4 controller. (view button on xbox) In create a sim, when on menu mode the cursor jumps around to the four corners of the screen. You can also use the dpad for better control. Switching over to cursor mode allows you to manipulate the cursor using the thumb stick like a mouse.
The controls are not intuitive and so will take some time to get used to. Took me bout 6 hours of the trial to feel comfortable with the controls. Now that I've been playing for 40 hours (jesus I've already played 40 hours!) the controls feel like second nature.

I had the same problem, but it's even worse when I set the game in Spanish

They need to add a cursor speed option as well.
