I'm curious. I plan on downloading every one but I also have other videogames on my Ps4.

As of PS4 update 4.5.0 the system supports up to an 8 TB external drive in addition to whatever sized hard drive is contained within. It will need to be formatted by the console before using, then you should have all the space you could need! Hope this helps.

I actually bought a refurbished PS4 this past weekend. Hopefully when I get it set up I will find out the capacity since it didn't say on the box.

I don't know the exact soze though.

That's awesome. I didn't know about that.External. You can find some relatively good ones that don’t cost very much. I have a 2TB external hard drive that only cost me like $50 on Amazon. I don’t use it for console gaming, but it can be formatted for it.

How many Sims 4 packs will the PS4 hold?

I assume it's like the computer and it depends how much space your PS4 has on it. I believe the DLC tells you how much each download size is.

I think the same as pc, maybe smaller. When i was downloading the dlc bundle a while back city living looked smaller in gb's then pc but i could be wrong.

That depends on your storage capacity on your PS4. The size of the base game is roughly the same on console as it is on PC, so the best way to gauge the space you will need is to look at how much space Sims 4 is taking up on your PC.

I don’t own PS4 so I’m not sure how many different storage configurations are available, but I know my Xbox could not hold the entire Sims 4 library of content with all of the other titles I have installed on it.

I only bought my xbox for the Sims and i have somewhere around 800 gb (not really sure)
I own all the packs so far and I've only used 2% of my storage. Im sure there is a way too see how many gbs the sims 4 and all its packs are taking on your ps4.

I bought a new pro for the sims, i had the regular ps4 beforehand but it was like a jet engine in the end.

A terabyte would be a save bet.

You can always add and remove other games to free up space if needed.

Good thing I came across this thread. I am planning on getting a PS4 for my birthday so I was wondering which capacity I would need. I will only be playing Sims 4 on it.

I have a 500 GB system. I hope that will be enough if I only play Sims 4.
