Console works if you like the game for what it is. It's the other issues that will keep from buying another Sims game on any other platform but PC again.
Never thought I would be a console Sims player but my laptop 3 years ago wasn't good for gaming. Much to my surprise I actually like playing on ps4(when it's working correctly). It took about a year for me to get comfy with the controls, to where I actually prefer them over a keyboard when I'm lounging on my sofa. Building is better with a keyboard though. So vanilla works for me because I didn't feel like messing around with mods/cc, updating and all that when getting back into simming. I barely used mods with older sims games, mainly cc.
That being said I won't ever buy into another Sims franchise like The Sims 5 for PS5 because console players don't receive the same level of a priority when it comes to fixes. The blotchy patchy skin tones/blushes are horrendous, lack of afro textured facial hair/hairstyles is ridiculous for the times, the lag, crashing that took over a year to fix...we were sitting ducks without even a word they were working on it. Instead they had players spinning their wheels "troubleshooting" when it was a memory issue on their end.
Even with the game, as basic as it is, it's still fun for me on ps4. It's just the sheer amount of issues I've encountered and feeling like a sitting duck on console that has put a damper on my consumer confidence on this platform. Now I want the availability to use mods if I need them. The only reason I'm still buying packs after DU is because I read the PS5 would have an SSD. I figured that would salvage the game after buying a majority of the packs in one sale.
