As I understand it, there are differences between each platform so I'm curious how many people play on which.

My son and daughter in law does not come on this forum, but they both also play Sims 4, but on the Xbox.

I love playing on PC. My 1st time playing on PC was back in the early 1990s, it was Sinbad the Sailor & Civilization on 3 1/2 floppy disks. The computer was my dad's.Then in 2011 my daughter & I looked for games to play on Windows 7 & discovered Sims 3 on DVD, it was amazing. However, we learnt the hard was that Laptops aren't good for gaming. Now we each have our own Desktop Computer with Windows 10 & both of us like to play Sims 4 & the Starter Pack Sims 3. I also play Civilization V, Age of Empires & Sims Medieval.My beautiful daughter is grown & has her own place & is more of a gamer than I am. She still says that PC games are still better than Apps, Wii, Xbox & Nintendo.Like Mother, like daughter.

My main platform is PC, but I’m currently playing a file on my brother’s PS4 copy. The only real reason is because I don’t have Vampires myself and it’s one I was kinda iffy about, but I was curious to try it. The PC version runs and controls better, but otherwise the only difference in experience is what I imposed on myself.

Laptops are fine for gaming, as long as they met specs and a person isn't trying to play a intensely graphic game on a $200 underpowered laptop. Then, no, of course it won't go well. But I have had a well spec gaming laptop for the last 5 years that I play games on and have zero problems out of it. An underpowered laptop is exactly the same as an underpowered desktop. It is true you have to have slightly higher spec's on a laptop then you would on a desktop, but a blanket statement that "laptops aren't good for gaming" is completely untrue. "Underpowered laptops aren't good for gaming" would be very accurate.

Yes, it is true that sub spec platforms are not going to perform well, but I think the salient issue is that a desktop is going to give you better bang for your buck when it comes to performance.

What platform do you play Sims 4 on?

PC is the only way for me! I can't imagine playing this game without any mods!!!

PC for me. Im still strictly a console gamer, so I dont see a need for a gaming pc when the only game I religiously play on PC is the sims. Plus, playing the Sims 4 on console sounds messy and convoluted.

I play on the PC, because that's how I've always played. I've never played on console, but I'd imagine it'd be very very awkward and frustrating for a 7 year PC simmer :D

I am only able to play on console.
I started on PS2 console when I was younger and then switched to pc for sims 2 and 3 but then when 4 came out I was unable to play it on my laptop since it was too old. I was forced to play on console.
I still enjoy it greatly and would play the same way on pc. I don't use mods maybe hair cc and clothing.

I play on PC. I don't have room for a desktop (living with family right now, so I have just one tiny bedroom for all of me), so I have a nice Dell G7 gaming laptop. It's perfect for both gaming and my graphics and animation work. Plus, the portability allows me to use it from the comfort of my bed when I'm relaxing or under the weather, downstairs or on the patio if I feel like a change of scenery, and at school...because my school is an under-funded community college with aging PC's and Macs that lag, glitch up, and crash at the worst possible moments...

Like Mother, like daughter.

I play Civ IV and AoE on my laptop but Sims is on the Xbox One. I love Civ IV but didn't really care for Civ V; probably because it didn't play well on my old outdated pc when I had it and haven't tried it on my laptop.
