@icyandrea2000, I'm sorry you feel let down. โน๏ธ But like @Zoutepoel stated, in general PC versions of games are better than the console versions, epically if the game was made to be played on a PC like the Sims was. EA made the game available to console players because many people wanted to play The Sims 4 but couldn't or wouldn't play on their PCs and Macs. If your only computer was for work or school and it wasn't built to game on, but you did have a gaming console, then it would be better and cheaper to buy the Sims 4 for the console. This is why EA released the game for console. It wasn't to trick anyone, but to give them options. ๐ It is up to the person buying the games to research which format is best for their needs.
In the future, always do research if there is a choice like this to be made, especially if you are going to be investing a lot of time or money into something. It might take a little longer, but you are more likely to be happy with the results. :eahigh_file: This goes for almost anything in life, from gaming, to buying a car, to deciding which dog best fits your life. โค๏ธ
I assume the options you are referring to that the PC version of the Sims 4 has that the console version doesn't have is the ability to play with Mods and Custom Content (CC). ๐ค Well, to be honest , that might work in your favor. ๐คจ๐ While Mods and CC are exciting and can be fun, there are a lot of downsides to them! ๐ฎ Mods/CC require a lot of upkeep! If you don't like doing regular maintenance for your game, then you are better off without Mods/CC. (I used to use them with TS2 and TS3, but I had a bad experience with TS3 where I had some corrupted data from some CC or Mod I used ๐ข. and I had to take it all out. I never used them since! ๐ณ )
And by helping out here for so long, I've learned that a lot of problems are caused by Mods/CC that is outdated or broken. Mods and CC can become outdated anytime EA releases an update patch (like we got a few days ago). This means that games end up messed up โน๏ธand the game player has to go through all of their Mods/CC to find the culprit and then they have to go back to the person who made that item and see if they have an updated one that matches EA's newest update. ๐ Mods and CC is really only for people who really will take the time to keep up with them to ensure your game is running at its best! :eahigh_file:
I'm too lazy for that! ๐ But if you are not, then perhaps the console version will eventually get Mods/CC. ๐ค
Happy Simming! ๐ฅณ
