To anyone with the mod not working when pressing F1, its cos of betterbuildbuy. You cant have both installed right now as the old patch for betterbuildbuy is outdated .
It is not smooth for me at all. I'm bumping into things a lot. its cos of the way sims movement is coded I guess. Please, will you create a mini version of this mod with only the movement though doors. maybe even a click prompt on a door is enough. or maybe the ability to bring down walls like in normal third person. thanks!
Direct Controls is confirmed to be working with the latest patch 1.89.214.1030. All modules are loaded correctly and the tray UI didn't change with the patch. Make sure to enable the mod by pressing F1 or typing dc on the cheat console. Are you experiencing any other problems?
hello (: I’ve been dying to try this mod. I’ve noticed it’s been incompatible for a while now and just checking if there’s any updates on how things are going.
Hello I am having an issue where when I install the mod the entire upper right menu gets basically compacted into itself makes it very difficult to select anything. Is there something wrong on my end I find this mod absolutely necessary to enjoy playing. Thank you>
can you please create a small (maybe) mod. mod so that there are more cell phones and that you can also place them on the table and in your inventory. and if you don't have that cell phone in your inventory, you can't use it. such a mod we give more realistic😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍
Hello. thank you for the fantastic mod. can you please do so so that the sim goes in the direction in which I turn my camera if it is possible. but if it doesn't work then it's still a very cool mod. thank you again
The main issue im having is when i pick a direction it continues to move and i cant stop, then when i pick a different direction to have them turn; they teleport to where they were initially.
it’s not working for me and im not sure why, every time i type in “dc” it says direct controls enabled but then nothing happens and im not able to use my wasd keys
Could direction control using the mouse be added to the mod? As in tell the sim where to go by only moving the mouse when in first person. So far it's the only thing that keeps this mod from perfection. Also, looking foward for the update to the latest version
I'm the developer behind both mods, so I can say for certain that they are compatible. These conflicts are just false positives as I've used the same UI system on both mods.
Hey, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the mod you created. I’ve been looking for something like that for years now and finally found it. This changes the game and its gameplay tremendously. I know the mod is one year old, but I still wanted to thank you and share my ideas.
So, I’ve been thinking and the concept is really good but there are just two things that would be great if they could be changed. I heard other people talk about this too, it’s the camera movement and change of direction. Maybe it could be possible to let the sim change direction when holding the right mouse button down and dragging the mouse in the preferred direction while pressing W. Then the camera perspective would also shift with the change of direction. I hope this is understandable. I never programmed a mod like this, so I don’t know how hard or possible it is. Many direct control/first people games work like that. Games such as Minecraft, GTA 5, Roblox... I’m not sure if you know any of these games, but they all use this technique which makes moving quite easy cause you basically only use your W key and your right mouse button.
One thing that is also a little annoying are the doors. Every time I play in the first-person mode I have to go out and make my sim go to the other side so that the door opens. Maybe there could be a way that the doors open automatically (like a door sensor) or you can open the door by clicking on it.
Again, I would like to point out that I highly appreciate the amazing mod you created, and these are just some ideas. I don’t know if your gonna see this but it's worth trying I guess. 😊
This mod is really cool, why did you abandon it? This mod is outdated + conflict with too many mod, i don't want to disable my entire mods folder just to make 1 simple mod playable
Victor, I installed the mod correctly and it even shows up in the start menu, I also have the script mods activated, but in the game I don't get the Victor Andrade option and anything happens after pressing F1. Help me please

Hey, is it possible that the latest patch: 1.89.214.1030 is so much different that your "May Fix" for 1.88.228.1020 isn't supported anymore?
Hello davidiandude,

Hey, so I just put the mod into my game, I got the pop up saying it was installed properly but it still doesnt work. Any help ??
Hello Parrisshw892,
Make sure to enable the mod by pressing F1 or typing dc on the cheat console. Are you experiencing any other problems?
Yea, I press F1 and type dc and it still doesnt work for some reason
Do you have BetterBuildBuy or BuildMode FreeCam installed? If so, you must uninstall those in order for Direct Controls to work.
Deleted freecam and it now works. Thanks so much
Hi, I'm having an issue when I stop pressing movement keys and my sim keeps walking. Anyone know a solution?
This mod isn't working. Is BBB also a known conflict?
I'm not aware of it right now. But you can try using it without BetterBuildBuy to see if it works. Let me know how it goes!
Freecam is included with BBB, likely why it wont work.
hello (: I’ve been dying to try this mod. I’ve noticed it’s been incompatible for a while now and just checking if there’s any updates on how things are going.

t h a n k y o u !!
The main issue im having is when i pick a direction it continues to move and i cant stop, then when i pick a different direction to have them turn; they teleport to where they were initially.
Even after installing and getting the welcome pop up I can't activate it with my F1 and typing DC in the cheats does nothing at all. =(
still not working.
Any plans on multiplayer mod support? Would make sims 4 fuckin complete.
im waiting for this too <3
it’s not working for me and im not sure why, every time i type in “dc” it says direct controls enabled but then nothing happens and im not able to use my wasd keys
Same here, dc settings says its enabled and nothing happens.
It doesn't work for me, not sure why. I pressed F1 and tried the cheat "dc" as well. It always shows as "off" in the mod settings.
EDIT: Lol sorry, I missed the note at the top. Now I know.
Hey toriegg,

Merci! Have fun too
Thanks!
Please give the option for console controls!!! We need the option of direct control or cursor like it was in the sims 2😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍....please thanks
when is the next patch
I too am curious, I love these mods so much and my game feels so wrong without them. I hope all is well and the update is coming soon :)
Hey nihilistzsche,

YAY!!!! Thank you so much loading it up now :D :D :D :D :D :D

my game is stuck on white screen after installing this mod
my game version is 1.70.84.1020. i have no mods installed other than this one.
Hey LisTer57,
The Sims 4 Direct Controls is built on the patch v1.73.57.1030 (May 2021) and might not work in previous versions of the game.
Make sure to update your game via Origin.
I am waiting on some other mods to be updated before I update my game, where can I find a compatible version of this?
Thanks for the mod!
Is DirectControls compatible with SimNationalBank_Bills_0.4.3.4?
After the update, three conflicting XML appeared between them.
Hey Player568,
I'm the developer behind both mods, so I can say for certain that they are compatible. These conflicts are just false positives as I've used the same UI system on both mods.
awesome
Something is wrong. I got the mod installed and loaded but I'm stuck in the loading screen
Is there a mod out there that can stop the idle animations whenever you're in this mode? Because being interrupted from walking is VERY annoying.
any chance the mod will allow/support xbox controller?

I have the mod installed correctly and the folder is UNZIPPED! it shows up in game but absolutely nothing happens when you press F1
Victor, I installed the mod correctly and it even shows up in the start menu, I also have the script mods activated, but in the game I don't get the Victor Andrade option and anything happens after pressing F1. Help me please
You have to unzip the file :D
How can we support you financially to continue updating the mod?
Hey Anyshk, sorry for the late response.
I do not have a Patreon anymore as I'm working on mods with SimRealist now. So if you want to support me financially, you can refer to SimRealist's Patreon page here.
Thank you!
I think the mod stopped being supported, since last update
any plans on adding the ability to move the camera wherever as well, so we can have a sort of over-the-shoulder camera thing?
