Lets sort this once and for all.
Ultimately when its all finished you will end up using only one. What makes that one your favourite? Let me know in the comments.

I don't have any problem with the classic pie menu but after more than a decade on TS4, I would like freshness in the game and the dropdown menu with mouse-wheel scrolling support would be a great fresh!
Scrolling support is not possible because EA has full ownership of the mouse wheel. I'm experimenting with drag solution
Sorry for the question but Is the dropdowm instant too?
Hi Tipoual, no. Not yet. I can't maintain both at the same time, so the idea is the best fastest way to get it is this : We make IPM work without bugs this week, then that can be merged with MDM. So all focus is on IPM atm. In an ideal world it would have happened last week, but we got bugs in IPM that will be inherited by MDM. Once IPM is finished it can be attached within a day. Technically I can release the prototype today but that would be on IPM 1.0.2/ 1.0.11, beta-v1, or beta-v5. But because I am doing another patch and releasing v6 (today/tomorrow) I think it's better to avoid getting duplicate complaints and patching both separately if something breaks. Hope that help! And yes to you should definitely switch to MDM once it's Instant.
IPM bc the auto pause pie menu has a firm grip on me
I love the dropdown but i wish the suggested actions from pie were the first menue in case theres someting im not thinking to do
IPM for sure! I only used it for an hour last night, which was all the time I had after work, and I'm already in love!
I answered the instant pie menu, but i have to admit i still have to test the dropdown... It's a long time im not looking at it and properly reading posts about it to learn about its features. I think i'm too used to the vanilla pie menu to see the dropdown option as a new and better way... So i canceled my vote, and promise to myself i have to test the dropdown mod :D
The dropdown menu. I just want the search feature on ittttt. I like to see my options than randomly choose sometimes. I get to see all my social mods all at once. It’s necessary for my game play. I just wish it was fast as the other menu
That speedy pie comes in handy so much , especially being able to click more than one thing at one time - but ….. BABY THAT DROP DOWN GOT ME IN LOCK DOWN 😂😂🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
ipm, bc when you have a ton of interactions, the dropdown menu takes up/blocks too much of the screen when open
I got confused the minute I took the drop-down menu out of my game. I don't know the vanilla pie menu, so it is hard for me to use.
LOOOOVE the Dropdown 😭 it’s beautiful 💜 thank you!
Szkoda że nie ma dwóch jednocześnie: szybkie działanie i lista poleceń. Ale kocham twoje mody.
Maybe i should try more the dropdown, but I have more than 600 options… So for now I prefer playing with the IPM. But I will get another try 🤗
Definitely give it a try , i have so many options as well but with the drop , once you go to the action you want , it provides a easy additional drop down of those options and its so easy to read since we normally read from top to bottom on list . Thank me later lol
Definitely Instand Pie menu. I don’t like change. I just want the things I know to work :)
Hi Katherine! I still believe IPM was originally your idea in the comments here, thanks for that!
Given a choice, I'll use the Instant Pie-Menu. Thanks for all your amazing work!
I choose Drop-down because I have a lot of mods and I forget what I actually have. Drop-down lets me see everything at once so I can make my choices.
I'm going to use pie menu on my smaller laptop, and drop-down on my desktop thats hooked to a larger screen... I love both and I can't decide. I'm attached to the aesthetic of pie, but the gameplay functionality, when one's got endless mods installed, with drop-down, is undeniable.
I’m just used to the menu in The Sims series being in a little circle, and I don’t like the change 🤷
I think the dropdown menu is cool if you have a big screen and space, i perfer the old sims version with my average monitor. :D
That just made perfect sense to me, thank you. This is what i was looking for an actual user experience problem when facing smaller screens. This also makes sense why my girlfriend uses the dropdown menu at 20% scale XD/ I'll look into improving this!
"The Instant Pie-Menu mod is an absolute game-changer! It is literally a lifesaver for the game. Instead of waiting 10 full seconds for menus to load, it now pops up in just one or two seconds flat. This has completely saved my gameplay experience and is easily the best mod I will ever use in my entire life. Thank you so much for this amazing work!
The dropdown is way neater for me, I have yet to fail finding an interaction with it, unlike with pie menus. I find my brain has a tougher time comprehending the available interactions if they're displayed in a circle rather then a list. But that might just be me 🤷 Either way, love your mods! 🥹💖
There are toooo many pie menu options when you have lots of mods,the dropdown is a lifesaver 👌🏾
The dropdown menu is the one feature I didn’t know I needed and could no longer play without!
I don’t know where anything is in the regular pie menu. But the drop down is a life saver.
Agreed
