Move Houses between PS4 and PC

I just spent a few months creating a very detailed home on the Sims 4 for PS4. Unfortunately though, I've come to the conclusion that I don't enjoy this game on the PS4 for multiple reasons.

So, I am looking to re-buy all the games and expansions on my PC. But I don't want to spend the hundreds of dollars to do that if I can't move this house.

What I can't seem to figure out though, is a way to upload the home I made and redownload it on PC.

Any help to achieve this would be greatly appreciated. If there is not a way to do this, what is being done to fix this in the future?

  • @oykawoo  You can upload the house to the Gallery, which is shared among all platforms, and download it onto your PC.  If you want to make sure the upload is intact, you can always ask someone else to download the house and take a look at it for you, before you spend all that money on the PC version.

    Speaking of all that money, you'll probably want to wait for a sale: expansions can be 50% off, the base game is even cheaper, and other packs are often discounted too.

    I have actually tried that. I've had no issue pulling up the house on the PS4 and redownloading it, but when I try to find it on the website through my PC, it doesn't seem to be anywhere. Am I missing something on the website?

    @oykawoo  What's your Gallery ID, if it's different from your username here?  I didn't see anything under this username either.

    I take it you did in fact upload it to the Gallery and didn't just save it to your in-game library?  After saving something to your library, uploading it is a separate step: there should be a cloud icon you can click to upload.

    If this isn't working, let me know, and I'll ask someone who plays on console if there's anything else you need to do or check.

  • It's really hard to find creations using the gallery on the website rather than in game.

    Make sure it's uploaded to the gallery rather than the library and then we can check in game whether it's there 🙂
