    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.

    Чем больше предметов у тебя на участке, тем больше лагов начинает происходить.
    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.
    Рационально скачать с просторов интернета полный пакет дополнений с игрой на компуктер.

    P.S. Если у кого-то при выборе в круговом меню игра перескакивает через один пункт это лечится только перезапуском игры.    … Expand

    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. 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.

    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

    Management in The Sims 3 and The Sims 3 Pets on PS3 was much more convenient and more tailored to the game consoles than The Sims 4 on PS4.

    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.

    Es un juego vacío que tienes que comprar las expansiones para que se sienta mejor. No lo vale, muchas de esas cosas debería estar en el juego normal ya que se trata de la "vida real". Espero que el próximo Sims no sea igual.

    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.

    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.
