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!!!

LOL I feel the exact opposite. I don't know much about MODS but it sounds too much like cheating to me.

I don't think I would want to play any other way. I like seeing my games on a large screen.

I play on PC, I like my mods too much to not. I play on a laptop (a $400 HP, nothing grand) that sounds like it's trying to take flight from the fan running sometimes but I mostly play on my husband's gaming desktop.

I have it on pc and ps4, but I just can't with the ps4. I have even stopped buying packs for the ps4, so sadly I won't complete that collection (I have all on pc and my OCD tendencies likes complete collections).

The ps4 controls are too bad, even with keyboard and mouse. It feels too unnatural. It might be from years of me being a pc gamer, because console controls in general are not comfortable for me. Use to I was fine playing on console, but not anymore.

(Besides that. I'm a graphic snob and I am not a big fan of how the game and sims look on the ps4. I still like my CC skins and what not).
