As long as your console of choice supports it, then so do we. It seems most USB mouse and keyboard combos work.

Small note for the update next week. Initially, you will still need your controller for the "Press A/X to Start" screen. Once you have passed that screen you can go full mouse & keyboard.

Mouse & Keyboard support on PS4 and Xbox One also re-enables some features not available on controllers.The Sims 3 camera is one of those features that will enable when using mouse and keyboard.That feature is not possible with a controller due to the complexity of the controls.

The Lunar New Year content IS in the next update too. It just wasn't mentioned in the live stream.
