    The controls are undeniably the worst thing in this game. I would love this if the controls would actually work. It is incredibly frustrating and makes it difficult to get into the gameplay.

    I am still a loyal fan, but holy hand grenades is this installment cramped. With the removal of open world capabilities that the previous title had, It cut exploration by 82%, and that it just lame. There's not much to do since EA took a step backwards with The Sims 4.

    They better make The Sims 5 regardless of sales and they better fix it so it doesn't suck, or I swear, I'll jump ship

    EA missed completely what The Sims is all about. There is no The Sims player out there that play only with Maxis/The Sims stuff or even just play it as a simulation Game it's also a Construction/Decoration Game and doing that on console it's horrible.

    I purchased this game mainly for the purpose of creating houses and simulating a family. The disappointing factors of this game besides the extremely lengthy loading screens, is the MICRO-TRANSACTIONS. So much of the fun add-on contents are locked behind a pay wall (DLC), and they are not cheap either!

    I've been sat here for 20 minutes trying to come up with a single reason why you would play this especially at the ridiculous price to get the full game, when you could go and get the sims 3 which comes more complete, for a cheaper price.

    DLCs simulator in console after 3 years of the PC launch...
    The game is not even full with all the DLCs, it's the worst Sims ever.
    You got smaller expansions than previous Sims...
    Instead gettting "Animals Pack" you can buy "Cats and Dogs"

    The Sims 4 was just good enough to not make me regret buying it but nowhere near good enough for me to recommend that anybody else should.

ItThe Sims 4 was just good enough to not make me regret buying it but nowhere near good enough for me to recommend that anybody else should. As you can see from the other user reviews the UI is very, very poorly implemented. The touchpad switches between the use of the menus (to observe your Sims needs for example or their inventory) and the actual game (directing your sim what to do). It simply doesn't work. Often you'll react to an event on screen only to realize that you are in "menu" mode not "play the game" mode and whilst it's not the hardest thing to rectify it will happen again and again and again and it soon gets very old.

    The gameplay itself isn't bad, they have neutered the challenge compared to the past games, you will advance in your career with very little effort and tbh using my Sim as a writer seemed almost broken with there being no limit to the amount of books you can publish and each book taking maybe 4 or 5 hours to write. Before you know it your sim has something like 30 books published rolling in 3 grand a day on top of their salary.

    However this reveals another issue, there isn't a great deal to buy with said money. The library of things in buy mode isn't as expansive as I'd hope and is probably about the same as previous iterations. What is there to buy isn't terribly interesting or varied either. There are perhaps 8 TVs but the only difference is their grade in "Fun" and the difference between a 5 Fun TV and an 8 Fun TV isn't really worth worrying about. Home design can be fun as it always has but it is ultimately unfulfilling.

    It also doesn't perform very well on the PS4 whatsoever. There is graphical lag as well as input lag, when put on the highest game speed the game clock will freak out and go backwards for a short amount (maybe 20 minutes in game time). Your skill bar can get stuck so it is always on and doesn't change for different skills. Your sim won't respond to commands on occasion and generally it just doesn't feel well made. It feels clunky and unresponsive.

    Sims will also ignore commands or commands will be immediately deleted on occasion and it gets very annoying. I only played with a 1 sim household and it felt really about the limit of what I could realistically control given the above issues and the poor UI.

    It doesn't look bad or great but the lagging is truly awful and gets worse the more sims are on screen. Sound design is your standard Sims bouncy Disney music and gibberish speech nothing particularly good or bad about it.

    Really I think this series has ceased to be relevant or interesting now. It was a stunning idea when it first game out and each iteration afterward has watered down the experience that much more. Not to mention EA locking stuff behind paywalls and DLC purchases, which is nothing new with the Sims and it's boggling amount of DLC expansions but still pretty reprehensible. As others have pointed out the packs are hilariously pointless selling you things like patio furniture for your little virtual drones.

    I got about 10 or so hours out of the game so I don't really feel cheated and it was playable for the most part but what was there was distinctly average. This afternoon as I played and my Sim reached level 9 of his career it dawned on me that I wasn't really having any fun, I was grinding to move up the career ladder but not spending any of the money I was earning because once your sims basic needs are covered there is little reason or need to spend further. Buying a house (that isn't already populated) is far, far too expensive and faced with the prospect of navigating the poor UI to spend a couple of hours designing a new house from scratch on a bigger lot I put my pad down and aren't likely to pick this game up again.

    There is nothing here that you don't have from playing an older, cheaper, probably used iteration of the game. You could go get The Sims 3 (currently being sold on Amazon for around £5 delivered) and get pretty much the same experience as this but likely running better on a relatively decent PC. The console has never done The Sims any favors and this time is no different but even beyond the issues with the running of the game the content is lacking, thin and un-inspired.

    Avoid. I'm just glad I managed to get some playtime out of it before it got unbearable because for all other intents and purposes this was a waste of money which isn't something I often say about a video game.

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. Expand

    As a primarily console user and avid sims fan, I'm use to getting watered down ports of the sims.

I don't think that should be understated. Now I should mention there is no mod support or access to custom pc content as made by pc users, but honestly I wasn't expecting there to be. Many pc users have also made the argument that the controls are atrotious and that your better off sticking to the pc version. That is fine and dandy if your a pc gamer with the right pc to play but is entirely a moot point for us console gamers. With that being said the controls are not that bad, they are for the most part how you would expect them to be with a game designed for a keyboard and mouse. There was a pretty steep learning curve to them but after about an hour both me and my girlfriend had very little problems, in fact at this point the controls are second nature. At the end of the day I'm having a blast with it, well worth the price and I can tell you this is absolutely the best console port of the sims yet. Expand

    Sims 4 is a simulation game where you live out the life of your created sim..
    Though sims 4 introduces a genetics system to allow your sims to have babies that borrows traits from their parents..
    I chose to live my sim life as a husband with my son and wife..
    You start out by choosing 1 of 3 areas to live in, you then purchase a plot of land and get to building with a small but decent budget, enough to get a house going with your essentials..
    Its then up to you to fulfill your sims needs based on their characteristics and traits you choose at the start…
    I was an athletic romantic husband with a smart and crazy wife, and a charming toddler..
    Eventually my wife and child would signal they needed certain items so it was up to me to get a job to afford entertainment for them to keep them preoccupied and happy..
    As my mai n character didn’t need too much.. he just needed to workout to keep his mind clear..
    But my wife needed mental support, she needed help with our child, cleaning the house, repairing items, while she took breaks to be with herself.. hide from the world a little bit, talk to herself to calm herself down, she had a need to make friends and discover, she has a dork so she needed to play video games to stay happy, another thing for me to take care of…
    I was surprised how invested I ended up being in my sim family, of making sure my wife was happy, that I gave her just the right amount of attention and free time…
    That I took her on dates and cheered her up by being dumb…
    Ending our days occasionally making sweet love…
    Which brings me to baby making.. your sims can get pregnant and have babies..
    And youll check on your wife constantly, feel her tummy, make her feel beautiful and wanted while you you wait for the baby to come out…
    this is how I chose to live my sim life, but you can live yours any way youd like.. you can start out single and go out into the world.. just focus on earning cash to build a massive house…
    Its all up to you..
    And you can go back and forth between the different members of your family and interact with eachother any way youd like, you can roll play, make them fight, or keep them happy… or just let the sims do their thing on their own..
    I enjoyed my first sims experience..
    I get why so many people get addicted to it..
    I got my fill of the sims in about 5 hours of fast forwarding and managing everyones needs

For one of my sims, I chose to give him the geek, genius, and perfectionist traits as well as a job in the tech guru career. My goal with him was to work his way into the professional gaming branch. Using a combination of skill leveling and mood management, I was able to get my sim to the top of his field. Now all that sim does is livestream games and go into the office occasionally. Right now I have four different saves and they all have different goals I want them to complete. The one I am playing right now is the Grand Vampire, Best Selling Author, Criminal, Mother sim. This is the first sims game where console players can play as a vampire, at least from my knowledge, and it definitely Improved my experience. There are so many pros to being a vampire that I find myself making all of my sims vampires now. When you are a vampire there is no bladder or food needs. So your main focus is hygiene, social, fun, thirst, and your vampire energy. Social, hygiene, and fun can become no issue when you level up your vampire high enough to purchase the vampire traits that would keep those needs filled, leaving you with only thirst and vampire energy. This frees up tons of time for your sim to level up their skills uninterrupted aside from the occasional “drink.”

    As far as the gameplay goes, it is pretty much the same as the previous Sims. Compared to The Sims 3 on console, they have added a number of new skills and that does change the game up some. The different neighborhoods is also nice because each neighborhood has its own personality and feel to them. When it comes down to the gameplay as a whole, it feels like the previous versions of The Sims that I grew up playing and that is not necessarily a bad thing. Like the old saying, "if it ain't broke, then don’t fix it" and I personally think what the developers are doing with The Sims is working just fine. If there is something that I do not agree with, it is the prices of the expansions. When you look on the PSN Store, you will see that getting all of them will cost you over $100. But then again, that's just me when it comes DLC and expansions in general. I have no issue with people spending additional money on a game if they are enjoying it and can afford it.

    There are multiple games that I have yet to play in my backlog but I still find myself playing The Sims 4. Even though I am enjoying myself with this game, there are some issues with it. The main issue I have is that there are various glitches. Some glitches that I encountered while playing were tasks getting stuck in queue, the choice wheel not coming up when selecting an object, and traveling as a bat. When trying to cancel a task, it would get stuck and not remove from the queue. The task would just sit there no matter how many times I tried to cancel or overwrite it by selecting a new task. As for the choice wheel not coming up, it would happen at random times and there did not seem to be any specific actions that would trigger it. In order to get past these two issues, I would have my sim travel somewhere using their phone. When it comes to vampires, they have three alternative ways of getting around. I experienced no issues with the super speed or mist form, but when it came to moving as a bat there was one major problem. My sim would fly to work during the day and when they arrived it was like they were still standing outside because their energy would continually drop. Luckily my sim did not die, but it was annoying to have to hibernate to get all that energy back. One extra thing I have an issue with is the loading screens. There is a loading screen for everything. I can understand them needing a  loading screen for visiting different neighborhoods but there is a loading screen for visiting your neighbor that lives on the same street. These are just some of the issues I came across while playing. I found myself keeping my sim at home and buying things just to avoid a loading screen a lot of the time. Hopefully in future iterations they find a way to reduce the number of loading screens, I do not recall The Sims 3 having so many loading screens but maybe that is just because I have not played the game in a long time.

    I do enjoying playing The Sims 4 because there are so many different ways that you can play. The base game alone gives you 10 different careers to choose from and the expansions only further those options. From being able to choose your career path to creating different backstories and looks for you sim, I would say that The Sims 4 is definitely worth a play. Even with the various issues I came across during my playthrough, I would say the good definitely outweighs the bad. So if you are a fan of The Sims franchise or just someone looking for a casual simulation game, then I would say that The Sims 4 is a game worth picking up.

    While it isn't my favorite sims game (that going to sims 2), I'm quite happy with Sims 4. I prefer the camera over Sims 3 camera and build mode has highly improved. Live mode is fun, though there is room for improvement in that area. All in all, I spend much time playing this game.

Sure, the controls are clunky and take a while to get used to, and the camera is not always your friend, but it's a gently paced game and isn't as big a deal as it would be with a fast paced action game. If the camera isn't being co-operative (which tends to be while I'm moving it away from my main Sim to locate another Sim to interact with in another room), I simply pause the game and that way I can take my time, make my selection and then resume play. It's a mild inconvenience, not a game breaker. The tutorial is especially clunky, with pop-up message boxes sometimes staying on screen getting in the way. But stick with it. Get the tutorial out the way and it's no longer a problem. The controls do become second nature after a while, and you get used to the camera. After a few hours in, you'll be utterly hooked.

    If it had the Karma feature of Sims 3, as well as better controls and camera, I wouldn't hesitate giving this a 10, but as is it deserves an 8. It's fun, addictive and like all Sims games, utterly charming. All the cons I mention are mildly annoying and certainly don't get in the way of a great game, especially at the price it currently is in the January sale.

    Lots of small bugs and glitches, but overall a decent console port that sticks true to the PC game. It takes a little getting to, the controls are a little funny at first. The updates more recently have made the game almost unplayable with crashes and lost save progress. Other then that, i'd highly recommend to play the PC version if you are interested in the full game.

    My daughter plays the actual game with the Sims, she likes the role play and that's fair enough, I got bored very early on. It's not for me anymore.

    Why score a 5?

    I played the Sims1. I bought a few of the DLC packs and used to use the www.thesimexchange to download user made content onto my PC - it was fun (we're talking 15yrs ago or more) ... the Sims4 seems to have standard features from other games as DLC, like the garden stuff shoved into a DLC content pack, and even jobs as DLC. In fact, so much has been shoved into extra content, that to get ALL of the additional stuff for Sims4, at full price would cost OVER £350!!! That's the price of my PSPRO!

    No season pass to get them all. This is EA at its worst (and that really is a statement!!)

    Buyers beware - it's a fun for a few builds, but the cost of full content is an utter rip off and shameful

    Sims 4 for PS4 does not look like a bad port with a PC with terrible control. From the controller it is not convenient to control almost everything in the game, it is good that there is keyboard and mouse support. If you play Sims, then only on PC, without mods, the game is suitable only for girls and schoolgirls. You can only recommend for the fact that here is a very simple platinum trophy.

    The worst installment of the series, the base game has been cannibalised, taking away many features that used to be in previous installments unless you are willing to spend a metric **** tonne of money for these features to be implemented in the form of dlc.

ThereThe worst installment of the series, the base game has been cannibalised, taking away many features that used to be in previous installments unless you are willing to spend a metric **** tonne of money for these features to be implemented in the form of dlc. These are spread into three different categories, expansion packs which cost £32.99 which add in a few new jobs and features. There are game packs which cost £11.99 which add a few less features than the expansion pack, and there are stuff packs for £7.99 which if you haven't guessed already give you less stuff than the previous 2 packs. All of these packs are essentially content that was cut and added back in so EA can squeeze as much money out of its consumers as possible. Onto gameplay and controls. The controls are awful the cursor hardly ever goes where you want it to, and occasionally jumps to different sections of the screen making it impossible to select certain options. The gameplay is not any better your character will maybe start eating his/her food then immediately put it down and stand still for half an in game day before complaining that they are starving. There's not much to this game, if you enjoy the Sims games and don't have money coming out of your ears to purchase the full experience I would recommend getting the sims 3 on console, there's more to do, see, buy and explore all for a fraction of the price of the Sims 4 base game. I suggest avoiding this game like the plague unless you have more money than sense Expand

    Console controls and general glitches are the main reason I give this such a low score. This is also my first experience with Sims 4 and it lacks a lot of what Sims 3 and even Sims 2 had expanded on the series. The base game itself is okay but you would need to invest in some expensive DLC to make it actually seem fun for more than a few hours.

    I simply cannot condone the practice of designing a barren game so that content can be sold later at extravagant prices. Let's not forget that this has been happening since the very first Sims game way back around 2000, but being new back then it was able to mislead us into thinking disc space was a barrier.

    DLC can be a very good concept when done right, which EA seem incapable of.

    While certainly not as user friendly as on a pc with mouse and keyboard, The Sims 4 works better than expected with my controller. It's also very buggy. If you drink from your beer every time you get a bug or glitch, you will be drunk under the table within 15 minutes.

    As a Sims player since the original, i gotta say a lot has changed. The social system is better than ever, but the world is smaller than ever. The animations and graphics are better than ever, but options in travelling are just loading screens compared to the open world of The Sims 3. For every good thing i can name a negative thing about the design of The Sims 4. I have to say though, the building tools for The Sims 4 is absolutely fantastic!

    And as always, there are expansions. Each of these is sold for 40 euros, which is just appalling when you realize it is content that has been made multiple times for previous Sims games already. Every entry has the same themes (Cat & Dogs, Get to Work, Get Famous) and are used to earn additional money instead of providing fair content. It's gone to far, and if it wasn't for a sale last month i wouldn't have bothered to buy any expansions.

    I bought the game for 15 euros, which makes it a better deal considering the content there is. If this game was 60 euros however, it would have been a scam. This game has a lot to prove when it's the fourth entry in a series, and it only barely gives something new.

    All and all i enjoyed the game on Console. The controls can be frustrating at first, but after a while i got used to it. I enjoyed it very much, and i can see myself returning to it from time to time.

    It is a good game, but it's also a buggy mess all the time. I give it a 7/10.

    It really is an amazing game. I love that it has so much content, so many ideas, so many zones, etc. It is a game that, in my opinion, fails in only one thing: little customization. It is true that the personality traits of our Sim is incredible, but I think it would lack many more human facets. Also, it needs more objects.

    La última entrega del mejor juego de Simulación Social.

    JUGABILIDAD:
    Solo de empezar, Los Sims 4 nos mostrara todas sus buenas herramientas de personalización física, que en esta entrega son mucho más amplias y precisas. No obstante, en los demás aspectos de Crear un Sim, se queda un poco corto siendo indudable que pretendían vender el contenido por separado.
    Podemos elegir entre algunas aspiraciones pero tampoco es que exista una variedad tan amplia como podría esperarse.

    El simulador es sencillamente asombroso, es vivir una segunda vida: como queramos.
    Los Sims 4 es un juego que necesita de nuestra imaginación para crear historias y que, con la abrumadora cantidad de cosas por hacer que ofrece, podemos llevarlas a cabo sin ningún impedimento.

    Pese a lo que acabo de decir tengo que aclarar que, una vez más, y como es tradición desde Los Sims originales, el modo Construcción se lleva de calle el modo Vivir. En lo personal lo encuentro más adictivo, divertido e interesante y, por sus opciones básicamente ilimitadas, esto no era de extrañar.
    Con algo de paciencia podremos crear cosas brillantes.

    El aspecto negativo es que usar un DualShock 4 en lugar de un Mouse puede ser un dolor de cabeza al principio, pero una vez que te acostumbras la jugabilidad no difiere demasiado de su versión en PC.
    El juego tiene lag en algunas ocasiones y claro que puede llegar a desesperar. Es más notorio cuando colocamos una gran cantidad de objetos en una habitación.

    Los Sims 4 es un juego infinito y sus posibilidades lo son también. Incluso sin carecemos de imaginación, en internet podemos encontrar Retos para el juego que nos darán aún más cosas por hacer.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Son pasables y con un estilo de arte caricaturesco. Las animaciones cumplen con su objetivo sin ser demasiado pretensiosas.
    El nivel de detalle es muy bueno, y la gama de colores que EA ha utilizado es la apropiada para darle vida al juego.

    SONIDO:
    Los efectos de sonido cumplen también, pero la escases de música de fondo es algo que no se puede pasar por alto en algunas escenas y, pese a ser posible el escuchar música con los propios artefactos In-Game, la verdad es que se echa en falta.

    Dicho lo anterior, es justo también decir que el tener música todo el tiempo sería cansino. Así que tal vez fue la decisión correcta.

    El Simlish… perfecto lol.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    Los Sims 4 potencializa todo lo que ya hemos visto y amamos de la saga, aunque tristemente hace recortes también.
    Puede no ser un gran salto en innovación, pero pule detalles y lo hace muy bien.

Their unwillingness or inability to produce a quality product is on full display in Sims 4, and the small amount of lip service provided online or through their support network just doesn’t make this game worthwhile.

    The game lacks depth. It is a step back comparing to the previous titles - I get bored playing The Sims 4 so easily, and even mods can not do anything with that.

    Graphics:
    The graphics are actually pretty. I am not a huge fan of the cartoonish clay style, but it does have its charme.

    Sims:
    When creating a Sim you can assign personality traits. The issue is that none of those really matter. Jealous Sims do not really get jealous, they just tend to be in a bad mood more often but that does not really have an effect on gameplay. While in previous Sims games your Sims would get seriously mad at each other if one of them cheated on their spouse (to the point that it was sometimes hard to restore the relationship), these things have little to no impact in the Sims 4. These Sims have no soul, no personality, nothing the player can identify themselves with. Plus, the genetics are completely broken. When two Sims have a child in-game, nine times out of ten that child won't have a chin. Why??

    Worlds:
    I actually don't mind the fact that they removed open world. The loading times are quite quick for me. However, the worlds are TINY and we cannot change anything about them. It is an absolute disgrace that the Sims 2, which was released in 2004, had way more options in this regard.

    Content & DLC Packs:
    This game is unplayable without mods or expansion packs. It is boring, there is nothing to do apart from the usual job and skill improvement.
    Even the DLC packs lack substantial content and it is quite obvious that they split packs, which should be ONE pack, into multiple packs to make as much money as possible (e.g. Cats & Dogs + My First Pet Stuff, Eco Lifestyle + Tiny Living, etc.). Nearly all of these packs are completely overpriced, too. At this point I just wish that EA would face legal consequences for their **** business practices, even though I know that will sadly never happen. But a girl can dream.

    With that said, I am hoping that EA will finally get their butts kicked by the competition. Here's to hoping that Paralives and others will do a better job and that this will motivate EA to do better. I don't think anyone wants the Sims series to die, but this is the direction they are currently headed.

    Например: в доме есть мебель/предметы по траектории которой раньше сим мог ходить. После постановки предмета сим меняет путь и ходит нормально, как это должно быть, НО раз на раз, при загрузке сохранения сим может заспавниться, например, на столе и не может с него слезть. Приходится заходить в режим конструктора и передвигать стол.
    Или другой прикол: возможно кто-то как и моя жена, делал себе ферму и некоторые куры могли просто зависнуть и стоять на месте. В этот момент сим никак не может взаимодействовать с курой + она не кушает свой корм, следовательно умирает.
    Другой прикол с курами: их может быть две-три-четыре штуки, а жрут как не в себя и дальнейший геймплей заключается в том, что один сим стоит рядом с курами и постоянно и кормит.
    Да, в игре много дополнений, но они не из дешевых.

    I’ve been playing the sims 2 for so long and it’s impossible for me to go to the sims 4 for how much the gameplay lacks.

Packs are expensive and lacking on content.

No. I tell you why, cos every american thinks is no big deals between this 4 countries, nevermind that two of them now in conflict (Ukraine and Russia)

    I think every citizen of this 4 countries have to boycott

    EA's decision not to release the GP in Russia is a spit in the face of the Russian LGBT community, support for discriminatory laws and playing on the side of homophobia. LGBT people need visibility

    The game itself is not bad. but oh god the controls on the console... why make a console game if you can't make controls there work. That makes no sense at all and just shows that kind of gaming company EA is.

    Sims 4 ist wie ein kostenloses Mobilegame für den PC, absolute Enttäuschung

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I Am A Huge Fan Of The Game And They had improved Their AI simulation for Sims And They Made The Building Tools simplified But There Are Frequent Loading Screens And Some Things Where Removed That Were In The Sims 3 Like Multiplayer! Also About The Downloadable Content Packs, If You Want A Lot Of Them Or Even All Of Them,Good Luck Because The Cost All Together Costs A Ton Of Money Tho And That Is Disappointing Because You Can't Have The Full Experience Without Spending A Lot Of Money Plus They Are Not Cheap,Either And You Are Getting Less For The DLC Compared To Previous Sims Games. You Also Have To Take Care Of Them To Even Keep Them Alive And That Is Time Consuming And Could Get A Bit Boring Afterwards Because You Are Doing The Same Six Basic Needs That Are hunger, hygiene, bladder, energy, social, and fun. As For Build Mode Its Kinda Hard To Do On Console As Well.

    I Play It But This Is What I Think Of It And Thanks For Taking Your Time To Read This!

    Los Sims en general, es un juego que no es conocido por sus gráficos, por sus físicas, por su historia conmovedora, ni porque tenga personajes inolvidables, pero tiene algo que a muchos juegos de hoy en día le faltan, y es la jugabilidad.

    Es un juego que nunca te va a aburrir, que aunque pasen años siempre que lo vuelvas a abrir te vas a enganchar, la libertad de edición, de toma de decisiones, de cosas por hacer, es simplemente maravilloso. Además EA ha hecho muy bien en dejar la puerta abierta a los mods, aspecto que se agradece porque las empresas siempre se molestan con los mods. Y si ya los Sims 4 sin mods es divertido, con mods es adictivo. Además de que puedes poner 100 mods que no te van a crear problemas, y si algún mod no funciona lo quitas y ya está, y normalmente es porque el modder no lo ha hecho bien. Yo creo que tengo 400 mods y el juego me va muy bien.

    Y es que a los SIms 4 solo le faltan gráficos, aunque por otra parte esos gráficos son su esencia, pero el solo imaginar este juego con gráficos más realistas me explota la cabeza.

    ¿Cosas malas? Hombre, son pocas e insignificantes, quizás más cámaras, porque a veces es un poco molesta, quizás mundos más grandes y que no tengas que desplazarte todo el tiempo y esperar al tiempo de carga. Quizás el que los npc no se metan todo el rato en tus conversaciones. Quizás un sistema educativo más interactivo, más profesiones interactivas, quizás más climas, pero en verdad, todo lo que he dicho es para un siguiente juego de los sims. Que la espero con ansia.

    Eso si, pido que los packs sean menos, no me importa tanto que sean de pago o gratis, pero el fallo de este sims 4 es que hay 300 packs a precios altos, entonces por favor, menos packs, pero más grandes, y ya si son gratis o de pago me da igual, pero no quiero que cada mes saquen otro pack y luego otro y luego otro. No. Que sean 5 packs y en cada uno de ellos pues que haya mucho contenido.

    I don't understand that why people don't like this game. In my opinion, it is a very fun game. Also, it is one of it's kind.

    This game costs close to $1000 to fully play so you shouldn't buy it, and most of the nearly $40 dlc has very little content and is expensive even at half price on sale! Also, there were a lot of bugs, so I couldn't do it properly, and I released a bug-filled mod for $ 20.
    Conclusion
    If you want to pay a lot of money, buy

    This game disappoints you over the years its just sad to see how money can destroy this franchise .
    The original the sims was more realistic than this one { if you played the sim 4 and the original you will understand what I mean ]

    BIG WASTE OF MONEY ! I PREFER TO PAY THE CREATORS OF MODS { THEY DESERVE IT TELLING THE TRUTH } THAN EA .

    On its own merit, The Sims 4 is enjoyable enough, particularly with its rich customization. Compared to its predecessor, though, it's a life simulator that...well, lacks life. [Jan 2017, p.86]

    As a whole, The Sims 4 can be a great game to lay on your couch and sink hours into, but many things hold it back from being the great game that is is on PC. From bugs and technical problems, to a horrible control scheme, there is a great game buried beneath problems.

    A decent port, that nevertheless suffers from a number of technical issues, chief among which a number of framedrops, long loading times and a cursor that doesn't exactly work as intuitively as it should.
