Hello,
just a couple of notes on the console:
- I have been playing an 8 members household living on a 30x40 5 floors + garden lot. The game quickly became super laggy and playing was very impossible. I wanted to create super cool and detailed houses but, let's be honest, I wasn't really using the photography studio or the scientific lab at all, and most of the rooms, half of them each, were just meant to show off how nice it was.
- You don't really need anything that big. I now create a 2 floors 25*16 house. I have spece for everything. I can play with 6 people without any problem and celerbate a wedding with 12 invited ppl.
- Worst case scenario, you can lower the resolution to 720. That sucks at first, but it helps a lot.
- Disconnect from the Internet. You do not need it anyway. It significantly improves quality of life on the console.
- Free the cache when you launch the game. On the PS4 that means holding L1+R1 while the game is loading.
