It’s rare to see the touchpad serve so vital a role, but it works here. To navigate The Sims 4, the touchpad acts as the player’s liaison between the game world and the all-encompassing UI. Make friends, find love, have children, and watch them grow. Micro-manage every bathroom break and block party, or focus on building a career. Spend hours creating a whole family in game, or building a dream home brick by brick. The Sims 4 encourages experimentation and procrastination in equal measure.

New to The Sims? Come prepared to make choices. Sim ghosts, but still impressive! For those looking for a content-rich, feature-complete experience, this is it. That includes years of DLC, updates, and ghosts. The Sims 4 continues that long tradition on PS4, and it does so with surprising aplomb.Īlmost everything from the PC version appears on PS4. To celebrate the eccentricities we all have. But the heart of The Sims 4 remains the same: to build.

That was unnervingly close to 20 years ago, and a lot has changed. The last time I played The Sims, I was in high school.
