@SimplyJen Thanks so much for all this information. I don't know what I don't know and you have suggested things that I was did not know about at all or had not applied to Sims.
I just learned about backward compatibility yesterday. I will do some research about Sims 3!
I will need to learn more about monitors and TVs. Right now I am just hooking the PS5 up to the Fire TV that I already own, but I think I want to purchase another display for the bedroom so I can have the Fire TV in the living room.
I did not know the achievements are linked to my account rather than my save! Thanks for telling me that! I am still confused about my options to use cheats on console. I often cheat in the father winter trait combined with the cold acclimation cheat for one of my sims. When I stopped using mods, I started using more debug and cheats. I will only have basegame and will need to learn a new playstyle and come up with new goals.
I had not thought about adding a computer to the TV! Years ago I had a cheap Beelink mini PC attached to a TV. I would need something better with a decent graphics card, but you are giving me ideas. Thanks!
Thanks for all the info!
