Hi guys, so, I just wanted to say, I love playing on handhelds! I actually sold six game consoles in order to buy a steam deck in order to play The Sims 4 on it lol. But....Sims is basically unplayable on it. It's just impossible. I don't know if it's possible for EA to do anything about that or if it is Steam's thing, but, I was hoping that maybe someone who has some sort of power could do...something. You guys are the best! Thanks!
All my daily trances, and all my nightly dreams, are where thy grey eye glances, and where thy footstep gleams.
I dance to the beat of my own drum, no matter how measured or far away.
I do love a road. You can always be wondering what is at the end of it.

Edit- Here is the path to the Mods folder. Pin it to the quick access bar once you’re there so you don’t have to go through the folders again.
Edited to add context for the keys
