Hi all
I've always played Sims on the PC but also own a console. My friend can't afford a new computer to play Sims 4 right now, but she has an Xbox One. With the updates and changes since release, would you recommend the console version for those who can't afford the PC?
I honestly know nothing about this version so I was hoping you could help a girl out.
Thanks!

Apparently alot of gamers still have severe problems with the controls on console and it feels like those are mostly gamers who are used to the PC version/keyboard and mouse (?).
I have never played any sims game on PC, so I can not compare.
Yes, it took me a little while (not ages!) to get used to the controls but I never found it to be unplayable or horrible, compared to other console versions of the sims it is definitely the best one yet.
I got no problems building or playing (bugs exist, but they do on PC too).
If possible I would maybe borrow the game from a friend or rent it for a few days, to see for herself if she can work with the controls or not.
It would be a shame to buy it and find it unplayable.
Yes I would.
Gallery is coming though.
Definitely - I was always a pc simmer but since Win10 keeps breaking all my computers I have switched to ps4 console. I was expecting it to be hard to adjust but it wasn't!
I'm surprised the game doesn't run at 60fps
On a side note, I really don’t understand how people claim the game is unplayable because of the controls. Sure they take more than the average game to get used to but once you do it’s a breeze. It seems the people who claim this tried for a couple of minutes and gave up only to deem the game unplayable.
I agree I actually find it easier/more enjoyable to control on console then on pc with a mouse and keybord.
My daughter did try it for about a week. She then begged me to "help" her build since she was frustrated beyond all belief. Gaming is supposed to be a way to relax. Personally, I play on PC and prefer the precision of the mouse and keyboard. As such, I refused to help her because I am not willing to learn wonky controls. There are quite a few games that I find are like that which appear on both console and PC. If the controls cause so much frustration, I deem the game unplayable since gaming is supposed to be relaxing. I personally have connected my PC to the TV and was able to play the game while relaxing on my couch.
Fair enough and I can see a child having some difficulty with the controls.
I just don’t find the controls frustrating or wonky. I’m plenty relaxed when playing. I don’t plan on buying a PC any time soon so I’m just glad us console players have the opportunity to play too.
My daughter is an older teen, just a few short years before she becomes an adult. So, it is not a young child. I am happy people can now play on console, but most PC games just DO NOT work well on console. The mouse precision needed for some games makes playing them on console a terrible idea.
Sorry, didn’t mean to offend. I’m an old 🐸🐸🐸🐸. I’m my day asking your parents for video game help wasn’t a thing. That being said I was a PC gamer before I was a console player. Anyway, I don’t think this port is aimed at PC players.
Either way, the point of my post was to highlight that the controls aren’t that difficult to master.
They're planning on getting it and some bundles at Christmas time.
