I would love a Sims VR. I have been playing Skyrim VR and wow!!! So great to be in the world.

Skyrim on VR is absolutely amazing!!

Only I have to say is that maybe rather than making it another game pack, to put it in the games options?? But I agree it should be purely optional, as I can't see myself ever using it lol, but it sure would be interesting to see!!

As long as Origin has no VR - then there will be no sims in VR. Sims 4 only works Origin. Also you cannot add VR via a patch. The game engine must be VR compatible as well as the game programming. So the game engine needs to be built for VR capabilities - period. This game engine is built for multi-tasking and not very much action. VR works with action. I could see it now the highlight of you VR experience would be dancing in sync with your sims or working out on a rock wall, maybe jogging with you sim dog. FUN, FUN, FUN.

This is not flight simulation - it is Sims living ordinary, everyday life with their biggest experience is climbing a firey rock wall. Add to that it is teen rated - that will never change and any action that would dare to make the rating board raise an eye brow is out of the question for the Sims. Believe me - they may eventually get a Sims game - with a more adventurous side to it and a proper action capable game engine like EA's Frostbite 3 or maybe even an Unreal game engine - but smart technology AI on an Pixar style game engine will never be VR capable. It will also need a more open environment, and a heck of a lot more powerful pc than the present Sims game can run on.

I run a high end gaming desktop pc with 8 cores and 16 gigs of ram - I'd still need to beef up my pc to run VR - not that I ever will run VR as I get vertigo, serious nauseous vertigo and it triggers serious migraines with full aura - but regardless my pc would struggle a bit with VR. I have 2700 invested in this pc build and would need another 2000 invested to even think about either of the two VR sets that work well with pc. I have tested both - last year at the electronics fair - and believe me they make me very ill. So I advise anyone before you think VR on PC is for you - you need to check it out before you invest. Make sure you test a pc - do not go by a PS4 experience. Very different experience to your brain receptors as I quickly found out.

But this particular Sims - I cannot see it handling VR on this engine and definitely not at these low end requirements - as suggested requirement for Sims 4 is way too low for VR. Besides as long as the option is not on Origin - it is not a Sims 4 pc option anyway. ( I do not know if it may be possible for console versions though once Origin offers it )

Wait until people get the sticker shock of a new GPU, that could support VR gaming. I know the prices have gone down on some of the units but not the Nvidia 1080.
