Everything feels like a step forward, even though there are some aspects (like random tutorials or some situations in which we felt completely out of control) that we would like to see more polished. Still, a great choice for The Sims fans.

The Sims 4 simply has core-features. No pools, no garages and other important stuff... Expansion Packs are coming. The Sims 4 has weak content, AI is problematic and it's definitely the worst The Sims game ever.

This game is super fun, no seriousness just pure comedy and big possibilities, you can use cheat codes to give yourself tons of money, so you can build whatever you want in this game, and you create just about any person in this game, you can either have pure chaos and try to live with 8 sims in a trailer, or live with 2 roommates who hate eachother but an moderately peaceful household. Your sims can also go to bars and gyms and get to meet others, or fight others, this game has alot of stuff locked behind a paywall though, alot of the locations and overall options are a DLC but if you ask me it's worth it. If you've watched Jerma's videos on this game, you'll see how funny it really is.

If I could only have one game to play for the rest of my life it would be this one. I know people say it's buggy, but I haven't had this problem on pc with mods, or on ps4 ****'s the best game I've ever played in my life and I'm a lifelong gamer who's played all genres over the last 5 decades.

I think it is a better foundation to build on than The Sims 3 had at launch.

The Sims 4 manages to be both the worst and the best installment in the series so far. It’s lacking content and has a fair amount of glitches and bugs. But the new feeling mechanics works really well, and opens up a new dimension that The Sims never have been close to before. In the end, the positive parts are the ones that are most noticeable.

The new generation of Sims begins with what feels like a bare-bones starter kit. It packs top-of-the-line Sims creation and house building tools, but styling options and activities are distinctly lacking. Add the contents of its first expansion, and Sims 4 will probably feel like the game it should be right now.

The Sims 4 takes a step forward in some ways, while taking two steps back in others.

The Sims 4 is still a charming life simulation, with a better interface and some new possibilities, but so many elements are missing compared from The Sims 3 (hello DLCs!) that all the fans will be disappointed.

I love to create a charector, but after that.. The gameplay is laggy, the game lack humor compared to the older The Sims games. I just loose interest in playing after a while. Been trying to come back to the game after buying new expansions but the same thing is happening every time. I just stop playing after a few hours. I honestly find it more fun to go back and play the older games.

It would be at least 8/10, weren't it for EA's cash grab at every corner, which I can't morally support, a vile practice that belongs in the past.

PC Summary New to the series, the Sims display a range of emotions which influence your variety of decisions in the game. Emotions give you new choices that impact your Sims and shape their stories. You can now control how your Sims engage other Sims, objects and individual moments in the game. You control the brain, corpus, and now the heart of yo...
