When playing on a laptop, do you use a USB mouse?

[Sharbysyd]

I'm new to the Sims pc games and I've been playing on my laptop.  I find the game very difficult to navigate with the laptop controls. Does anyone have any tips for me?  Do you use a USB mouse when playing?  Would a mouse make it easier?

Thanks.

I've been playing the sims for a year and 8 months now with a laptop. You could buy a USB mouse if you want, I don't need it myself so I guess you just need to get used to it. That's about it I guess...

Sorry I'm not much help. XD I suggest you try to get used to it so you wont want to use/buy a mouse all the time.

That's what I do with the laptop pad 0_0. hehe I just put my right hand on the pad and the arrows and my left hand on 0,1,2,3

i use the number pad because that has the 0 close and so my hands wont be criss-crossed
