    I never felt like I had control of navigating the various menus; switching between traditional and cursor menu navigation was slightly unpredictable.

    I might have been able to get past the mind-numbing monotony of this game, if it weren’t so poorly designed for consoles.

The interface is simply unusable - there is no way you can get used to it or understand the logic behind it. The interface is so bad it has s button dedicated to show you the controls, and that option is always highlighted on the screen. And the problem lies beyond the control scheme. The interface itself is a poorly made job - it's no match compared to UI in SIMS 1,2 and 3. There's no art involved, no design. It's so bad it actually feels like an insult to the player. And the fact that the game has been cut into a million of stupid DLCs doesn't help. Say, that DLC that adds "super cool animals hats" - who the hell needs them? Yeah, so when you launch this game it offers you more DLCs and the interface is designed in a way that confuses you so you press the button you don't want to buy a DLC you don't need for a game that doesn't care if it's playable or not. This is lame. I strongly recommend to keep away from Sims 4 for Playstation 4.… Full Review »

    Don´t have to say much here. EA just EA the mark that shows you should not buy or play this money grab of a game.
