Missing Roof Controls and Build Limitations on PS4
Does ea read these?? Dear ea sims 4 developers.
I’m writing as a PlayStation 4 player who loves building in The Sims 4, but I’m deeply frustrated with the roof-building limitations on console.
In particular, I’ve noticed that many of the pre-built roofs — like the beautifully curved, whimsical ones at Puckett Hall from the Enchanted by Nature pack — have six white manipulation dots when selected. These allow fine-tuning of roof shape, like pulling one edge up and curving the other down to make fairy-style roofs.
However, we console players can’t recreate those roofs. Once deleted or broken, we lose access to those six-dot roofs completely, because PS4 doesn’t allow us to access the same advanced roof shaping controls as PC players. We’re only given two dots per side, and that results in wonky, blobby roofs that don’t match the beautiful builds you created.
It’s heartbreaking to lose those original roof pieces and realize we can’t rebuild or mimic them with the tools we’re given. It makes build mode far more frustrating than it should be.
We’re asking you to please give console players:
Full six-dot roof manipulation, the same as PC
The ability to fine-tune roof edges for proper layering and fairy-tale shapes
Parity in build tools, since we pay for the same content
And, long-term — we deserve access to mod support or at least more creative freedom, since so many amazing build enhancements and quality-of-life features are left out of the console version entirely.
Please don’t leave console players behind.
Sincerely,
A PS4 Simmer who just wants to build something beautiful
