Can Sims 4 be played on a tablet?

Title says it all. Anyone playing on a tablet or know if it can be?

    Only a Surface would be able to handle the Sims, but it is unwise to game on one.

    You need a proper laptop with a dedicated GPU to be able to play the Sims.

    EDIT: Even though this is a resurrected thread... This is somewhat a relevant topic.


    yes, it is a relevant topic
    they should port that game for tablets, sell it for 9,99
    should have done it from the start, would have gotten probably a way better customers response

    & just let a PC simulation where it was originally, actually simulating

  • A Surface could run it, but I wouldn't recommend it. The game would generate too much heat, and over time it will shorten the tablet's lifespan.

    I don't think it'll ever become anything more than this because anything more wouldn't be able to function on smartphones/tablets without adequate processing power.

    It can be run on a tablet like the Surface Pro, or anything else running a full version of Windows if they have adequate specs. Otherwise, no. It won't run on iOS or Android.

    Yeah, I tried it on android, you can download it, but it's too heavy to play it.
  • I can run it on my surface pro with the screen detached. But personally, I wouldn't recommend, unless you were to hook up a mouse and keyboard via Bluetooth (But I have fat fingers and hate playing on a tablet so that's my opinion)
  • No, it can't. And I hope they'll never try to make it work on tablets. The game already suffers as it is because of the players that insist on playing it on Win XP computers.
