The Sims 4 on PS5 is amazing!

I see just as many bugs, but it is quite a bit quicker.
Mostly just loading into the game is the biggest. The rest is mostly a few seconds faster here and there.
Hope Sony sorts out manufacturing soon for folks who weren't able to get one.?

And why is a PS5 playing The Sims 4 so fast?

Due to the SSD disk in the console...

A PC with an SSD plays Sims 4 as good as a PS5/XBOX Series X.
So nothing new under the sun...

If you are comparing it from last gen console to current version then the SSD is new. Before PS5 you could install a SSD for PS4 but it was a little bit of work and not everyone feels comfortable opening up their console. I assume the OP was comparing the load times to PS4.

I can confirm. Sims on the next-gen consoles work great... But I still expect EA to optimise the game for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.

I still feel like the game could look better. The Sims textures since the recent patch look amazing but from videos I have watched of people playing on the new current gen consoles the world and object textures still look really blurry and grainy. On pc they look high quality and crisp. I really hope they improve the game visually on these new consoles as they can handle it. I don't see any visual improvements at all despite them having said back when it was announced for the new consoles that it would have improvements.

The blurry console textures is really noticeable in San myshuno if you look at the surrounding high rise buildings.

You mean the buildings that are off in the distance right?

Basically every texture in game including the build buy catalogue.

I mean, once I get my hands on a PS5 (in the year 3000 probably, when they're widely available for sale). :s

There might be other ways, but if you have Playstation plus you can upload your save files to the cloud, then download them on your new system.

You should be able to link the two Playstation consoles together through a USB cable. Then you should be able to upload your profile and saved database over to the PS5 from there. If not, you can always upload all of your data to the cloud, and then download to the PS5 from there.

I just ordered my ps5 and it should come soon, and I’m mostly curious for those who use latest gen, how the game performs in crowded places like San Myshuno festivals (San Myshuno in general, is it smooth?) or University dorms? On PS4 it was sometimes alright and sometimes the lag was getting serious.

So the game as a whole runs SO much better on PS5 than it did PS4. I used to not go anywhere because of loading times but this is super super fast. Queue and go to the gym and you are there in a few seconds.

With lag I don’t know about the dorm but San Myshuno is very smooth and the festivals are fine. Again on PS4 I barely left the apartment but now I’m wondering around the neighbourhood at night time. However.....

There is still lag in the game randomly.. like your two sims in an apartment together will just sometimes get lag. It’s not a huge issue or super frequent, it’s rare, but it’s there. I do have a lot of packs but not a lot going on in the apartment. And I don’t think it’s exclusive to the apartment, think the game just has some lag. If you have the game on a while your controller will move super fast in menus and you have to either just not use menus and it sorts itself out, or close and restart.

But this is nothing you do not experience on PS4, and overall everything is much much better. A big obvious difference.

Thanks for the answer, my PS5 arrived yesterday and I immediately checked Sims 4. Much smoother indeed. l got lag only once after 12 hours game session on Mt Komorebi peak when I suddenly opened bb mode. It fixed itself by opening lot tab in the corner. But I also saw YouTubers having lag from time to time on their gaming PCs so I guess that’s the games problem as well.

But the upgrade does feel huge. I literally cried when after many hours my sims were still moving like butter in San Myshuno. ?
