Recommended Videos

It’s finally been confirmed that The Sims 4 will be making its way to the PS4 and Xbox One this November. Of course, this isn’t the first time that The Sims has been ported over to consoles, with previous titles hitting the likes of the Xbox 360 and PS3, albeit with a number of features missing. As such, you’re probably wondering exactly what is new and different in The Sims 4 on PS4 and Xbox One. Well, let us give you a quick rundown.

Features Missing from Base PC Version

When The Sims 4 first released on PC three years ago, fans were a little miffed about the features that were missing from the base game. Features that players had previously had access to in The Sims 3 were absent and, while they’ve been added in thanks to free updates and expansions, some players may be wondering if it’s going to be a similar situation when the PS4 and Xbox One versions arrive in November.

However, from taking a look at the official console launch trailer for The Sims 4, it looks like Maxis has crammed a number of features missing in the base game of The Sims 4 PC into the console port. We’ve included a quick list of all of these below.

  • Ghosts
  • Pools
  • Half-Walls
  • Dishwashers
  • The World of Newcrest
  • Gender Customization
  • Toddlers

We also spotted a few of the career options that were missing from the base version of The Sims 4 on PC, though, at this moment in time it remains unclear exactly which ones these are. We’ll be sure to update you as and when we find out more.
