PlayStation vs PC?

It's the same exact game - I just think that it's easier to use the mouse to control everything, but I might be wrong about that as I haven't tried the PS4 version & don't plan on buying the game twice. But usually, simulation games are easier to play on a PC. Other than that, especially now that they have the gallery, I'm guessing it's largely the same, just with a different learning curve. On that note: can you use mods on console by now, or still not?

I play the Sims on PlayStation, although I do use my keyboard and mouse over my controller now that they’ve implemented that feature. The controls for the controller are done quite well though if that’s your only option. Another thing to keep in mind is that console players have later release dates for packs and updates, but if you don’t mind waiting about a month for those then that’s not an issue.

I would say that if you have the option to buy it on PC, then do that, but if your only option is to play on console then I wouldn’t let that hold you back. I would definitely recommend picking up a mouse and keyboard, as I’ve enjoyed the game a lot more since being able to use them.

I primarily play console so I enjoy the game more on my PS4 than my PC, it really depends on the person comfort-wise, but of course PC is better with performance, load times, pack and update releases, plus cc, mods, and the gallery.

Thanks for the input everyone. I'll just stick to the PC.

Does the console version have 1:1 control over sims’ movement? Like, when I move the stick, does the sim move accordingly? Or is there still a cursor that I have to move around?

The past console games like The Sims 2 Pets on PS2 that I had as a kid had control like this (the game called it direct control, where you move your Sims with the analogue stick and interact with things with X) but then you could switch to a cursor mode like the PC version as well at any time if you wanted. The Sims 4 on console doesn't have any form of direct control, just the cursor mode, and it feels really clunky (that might just because I play mostly on PC, but most of the reviews for the console version mention awkward controls).

Ugh that sounds gross. I was thinking it would have been pretty cool and different to experience 1:1 control of a sim. I prefer Diablo 3 on console for this exact reason.

Sims has always been better as a pc game and that will never change.

PS4 isn’t a bad option, but if your PC can run the game then for sure get it on PC. I cannot understate how awesome mods are.

I do have a PSP4 Pro with Sims4, but as previous comments, I find the PC version better. I think the Xbox One X would be better, as it is a more powerful console.

We also sold our PS4 recently, as it only collected dust. I prefer all my gaming either on a PC or the Switch now. Some people might like playing it on console, but I just do not see the appeal. I can connect my PC to my tv if I want to play on a bigger screen.

If your PC is near the TV, most PC graphics cards do have a HDMI output socket for connecting to a TV. I am surprised as to how few people realise this. Also, the MS controller, same one for Xbox, can be used with a Win10 PC. Sit on your couch and enjoy all the benefits of the PC version on your big screen.
