Technical issues left right and center.
It honestly feels like the more money you spend on The Sims 4 on console, the worse the game performs. I own every pack, and at this point the game is barely playable.
University is completely broken on console — every time I try to move my Sim back home after finishing a term, the game gets stuck in an endless loop. You can’t split the household, you can’t progress, it just repeats over and over until you’re forced to restart the entire save. It’s incredibly frustrating to lose progress because of something that shouldn’t even be happening.
Parenting is glitchy too — babies randomly glitch during animations, stretching, freezing, or snapping around. And Sims in general will just… stop. They’ll stand there doing nothing for ages, ignoring queued actions. Sometimes canceling and re‑adding the action helps, but not always.
On top of that, the UI constantly bugs out, menus flicker or freeze, and the game crashes so often that I’ve had to reset everything multiple times. For a game I’ve invested so much money into, it’s honestly disappointing to feel like I can’t even play it properly.
At this point, Maxis, the best long‑term solution might be to move the game onto a modern engine. The current one clearly can’t handle the weight of all the packs, especially on console. I know it would take time, but right now it’s becoming nearly impossible to enjoy the game at all.
