My sims cant play video games on tv

kiara07

I bought my sims a game console to use with the tv and the option to play video games doesnt appear. When I click on the console it says it says its not compatible with the tv, something like that.

I dont know what to do, I make my sims playing video games a lot

maybe buy the flat screen tv that goes on the wall. I've never had this problem and I've always had that tv so it might have to be a sort of modern/expensive tv to work. Then for it to work you have to put a coffee table directly under or as close to the tv as possible and put the console on this. I've had the problem of the console not being close enough to the tv to work so it might be this x hope this helped x

I'd love to know which tv this is that came play video games! Could you tell us?

Even if you have a compatible tv, sometimes clicking on the console doesn't work and you have to click on the tv to play instead.

Like Igazor pointed out, try clicking on the TV. This is how I've always used it and I've even paired it with the cheapest TV.

You have to buy a console. One comes with the base game under Electronics.

That is supposed to say can't play video games....

Ah, got it

This is my TV but I had tried with one that was not CC and didnt work as well:



But the problem was what @123yaymexxevaxx said, my TV was not close enough. I had it one the table like in the picture and it was not working, but works when on the floor.

Thanks everyone

I had the same problem, but I got lucky as the game gave me a message that the game console was too far away from the TV and would not work.

Glad you got it sorted but as the thread's a wee bit old now, I'm gonna lock it.
