Worth it?

Thank you everyone. I think I will stick to the pc. The sims is the only pc game I play every other game is PS4 or Xbox 1.

My teen prefers console games, but found the PC version of the this particular game more relaxing. Nothing is wrong with that. There are a couple games that were originally on PC that do not translate controls very well when brought to console. We own 2 consoles, 1 handheld, and 3 PC, so we always go for the most relaxing versions in all our games. Personally, I only played the console version for 45 minutes and found it was not what I prefer. I only usually play in 20 to 30 minute sessions via PC, leaving my game on pause between household chores (stay at home parent). The console does not work for that playstyle.

I see.
fair enough.
no theres nothing wrong with it. i just found it odd. some times playing a new game takes a little time to get use to.
if she had given it more time she might have improved with the controls, but she could have just used the curser instead. its what a lot of us are using and it makes it easy to build and create sims.

I am playing resident evil 7 at the moment and only had it a month and I am still struggling with it.

It seems you are both more into playing the pc version. why people are even buying it if they love the pc one more I don't know as it mosly the same game.

unless you have no option due to computer issues I would say stick with the pc.

For me I stopped the pc version because i am spending more time playing ps4 games.
i find the ps4 version very fun and relaxing and i play for hours at a time as it takes me at least an hour to create a sim and about 4 to build a fully furnished house.

and I pause it and go back to it just like i used to do with the pc version

so confused. it does work for that play style for me.

Anyway


I hope she as fun with the pc version. whitch at least is getting the best packs first

The only reason I bought the console version is because I don't have a computer that can handle the game right now. If that changes. When I get a good computer I will go back to playing Sims4 on PC.

Pausing a game to come back to later does not work for our console, because we only own one tv. So, it shares 2 consoles and a bluray player. I can keep my computer running and no one will touch it, but my kids and husband may want to use our tv. In my family, if you need to pause it, you just need to save and quit so the tv is free.

I see your problem.
Absolutely.
It used to be like that in my family home.

Kind of off topic, but I didn't want to start a new thread.

I was just looking at some screenshots though and I'm surprised at how bad the graphics look for a console game. I play a lot of games on my PS4 and the graphics are STUNNING and the screenshots show it. Do the graphics really look that bad in the S4 console or is it just the screenshots not doing the game justice? Because I'm actually shocked at how bad the screenshots that I saw looked.

strange.
the game looks just the same as the pc game for me on PS4 PRO.

I know the past console games don't look great, but have yet to see the sims 4 looking bad on ps4 pro

I was considering buying the console version but so far I haven't seen any videos or comments about it being any different than PC version. For instance better graphics, different gameplay or little extras (like Sims 2 Castaway where their hair grew or their clothes get worn out). Can anyone tell me if there is anything that makes it better than the PC version?

As far as I can see, nothing regarding the game itself is made better for the console. It's more about having the convenience of being able to experience the game on the console for those who prefer to sit on their bed or couch & play games, or if they don't have a computer that can handle the PC version. Aside from missing the gallery, PC mods, & some DLC packs, it can still be said that the game is a full port from the PC version.

I guess maybe the screenshots were bad. The game is definitely at high settings, not ultra but high. It’s the exact same as my pc settings i had. I don’t notice a difference. We even have the lightings upgrade which has made the game even more enjoyable to look at. Guess whoever’s screen shots you saw wasn’t the best lol. I dunno.

Also i have to add i take many screen shots and they don’t do the game justice when i upload them. But on my tv it’s enjoyable. I love sitting on my couch having a good juice and playing the sims ;) I’m more immersed in the game playing on console than i ever was on pc. Where so i would play it for a while then put it down for months and then come back. Maybe it’s bescause i love the confort and the fact that I’m playing it on a big screen so i feel more involved. It’s the same as pc though, nothing more nothing less. And the fact i have Nostalgia sims 2 and urbz music (because it’s the best lol) playing on Spotify through the game. Lol

Double post. -deleted-
