I'm just curious what graphics setting do you think the Sims 4 for console is set to? I feel it looks great but sometimes I feel I've seen pictures or videos where the game looks way better. :)

Console has its own graphics setup. It’s supposedly PC Ultra, but it’s not exactly. All of their promotional pictures are taken with the PC game.

Yes I hope that comes in a future update or something. The UI text needs to be resizable ^_^

Thanks! Like I said it looks great but some parts look worse than others. Still highly enjoyable though :)

This, so much this. Sometimes I have to get up and go to the tv to see what a notification says in the corner cause it’s too tiny

I now own both versions of the game. The console version isn't quite Ultra settings on the PC, but they're really good. I'm very happy with it so far.

Everything on base consoles is set to "high" even the shadow and lighting setting is but with a tweak that allows interior sun shadows. It's a tweak you can do on pc too through the graphicsrules file. AA is set to low on both ps4 and xbox one. Simquality is at "high" as well and no uncompressed sim textures on them or the pro and X, they just have sims at "very high"
Nothing on the console versions is at ultra.

SimGuruLegacy says the console versions of the Sims 4 are set to ultra across both the PS4 and Xbox One.

Well, I guess we console players have to take what we can get, and **though I wish things were equal across the platforms**, at least they’ve improved noticeably. It’s better than no improvements at all. ?

The console version looks great even if they aren't set anywhere near ultra cause that's what so great about the sims 4 art style. It looks great across all presets except low and it will age well too compared to past iterations.

I need to correct my earlier post. I bought a 4k TV this morning, and even though I have just the regular PS4 console the graphics are definitely Ultra settings in game. I was quite surprised how much of a difference the TV made. The only thing I can think of besides going from 1040p to 4k is that the new TV is HDR compatible. The console now recognizes it.

Has anyone actually got side by side pictures to compare? The console looks ultra to me when I’ve saw my niece play it on a pro. All be it on a 65 inch 4K tv. (All games look amazing on it)

I don't but my understanding is that the Pro will run the game at 60fps, while the regular PS4 will only do 30fps.

True, both pro and X got a patch that allows for higher frame rate but due to the CPU they both use it can't hold a steady 60 but sitting that far from a tv you don't really notice it in a game like the sims. The base ps4 from what I've seen handles the game better because that one is set to normal vsync while the Xbox one is adaptive and has a lot of screen tears when it drops and that is quite annoying. The patch for the pro and X also upped the "sim quality" from the base consoles "high" to "very high", no uncompressed sim textures for either of them though and shadows still look to be at 1024 resolution and not 2048 like it is on pc ultra. Very nice with the framrate boost though and to me that's far more important then upped graphics. I wish they could downgrade the base xbox one version a tad to make it more stable.
