Re: I didnt know sims 4 was better on pc

@icyandrea2000, I'm sorry you feel let down. ☹️  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. 🙂  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.  ❤️

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). 🤔 Well, to be honest , that might work in your favor.  🤨🙂   While Mods and CC are exciting and can be fun, there are a lot of downsides to them! 😮  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 😢. and I had to take it all out.  I never used them since! 😳 )  

And by helping out here for so long, I've learned that a lot of problems are caused by Mods/CC that is outdated or broken.  Mods and CC can become outdated anytime EA releases an update patch (like we got a few days ago).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 ☹️and 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. 😞  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! 😃  But if you are not, then perhaps the console version will eventually get Mods/CC. 🤞

Happy Simming! 🥳
