    tão ruim quanto o 3, a ea acabou com o jogo, encheu de microtransação e dlc, o the sims 3 também tinha isso, o 4 tem a gameplay horrível igual o 3

    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

    Bad controls, awful DLC monetization, and awful neoliberal globalist propaganda.

    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 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!

    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.

    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.

    Полностью отсутствует понимание, как в это можно играть на геймпаде. Жена говорит, что это сущий ужас.

    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
    Полностью отсутствует понимание, как в это можно играть на геймпаде. Жена говорит, что это сущий ужас.

    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.

    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.

    Funny and Amazing! The Graphic was great the game play was kinda disappointing but still great just not as past the sims franchise. And all the things I said it was true! if you were rich however It's not that bad but It's kinda disappointing and feels like EA was a moneygrabber without packs it was boring without packs

    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

    Do you know that it means no Sims Wedding pack not only in Russia? It touches also such countries like Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Why? Are this countries are part of Russia? 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

    Cool game

    If you pay for the DLC that costs $360+

    So in short it's not a cool game lol

    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.
