    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 .

    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

    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.

    Iā€™ve been playing the sims 2 for so long and itā€™s impossible for me to go to the sims 4 for how much the gameplay lacks. My biggest concern is the lack of animations and depth for those the game has with DLC using base games animations for the features they bring. Gameplay is boring without anything exciting on it. Packs are expensive and lacking on content.

    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 game is buggy and new bugs are introduced as soon as the old ones are fixed. The control scheme is horrific and makes no sense. Not only that but the uninspired and unimaginative DLC's cost more than the actual game. It appears EA couldn't care less about the player's opinion and take their player base for granted.

    After several years, I have to say that this is simply not a good game. Even after numerous (overpriced) expansion packs, the game lacks content and personality.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    This game is virtually unplayable in its present (2020) form as the virtual tenants of my house are unable to do most basic tasks and it's always a toss up of whether they will be able to even clean up a dirty plate or access the computer they've put dozens of hours into building skills with. This game is another example of EA destroying everything it touches.

    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. Plus, everything is overpriced and there are too many lackluster stuff packs which is a shame. I do not recommend buying the game unless you get it with 75% discount.

    they know it has many bugs but they don't care. "how about you buy the idea pack to fix your problems?" is probably what the devs think

    Solid game but way too much overpriced DLC, it's ea but it's still sad to see you need to spend hundres of dollars to get a full experience.

    Do you like making pretty looking or interesting structures?

    When I read Sims4 was coming to PS4, I was pleased. When they said it'll feature all the modes as per the PC version, I was really pleased. Then I read the reviews on the console controls and I was a little put off.
    Overall though, it plays okay. Sometimes the building is glitchy and views are awkward to lay pieces where you want, but, overall I made a neighbourhood in about 20-30hrs which looked pretty cool, some massive flats and some traditional looking houses.

    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 Ā£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    … Expand

    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.

    EA you're ruining your own franchises. Please stop.

    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.

    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 Ā£32.99 which add in a few new jobs and features. There are game packs which cost Ā£11.99 which add a few less features than the expansion pack, and there are stuff packs for Ā£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

    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"

    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.

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

    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.
