I still remember spending my childhood obsessing over The Sims franchise and wasting so many hours playing this game during the pandemic lockdown.

Although The Sims 4 may provide hours of enjoyment, without any of the expansion pack, it feels kind of barebones, lacking anything to do aside from the base simulation. This PS4 port is no different, content-wise, from what I've played before except for its numerous performance issues.

Every single action that you make results in severe slowdowns and frame rate drops, not to mention how just uncomfortable it is to play using a controller. In fact, it was so uncomfortable that creating my own sims took more of the duration of my playtime as I tried to blindly maneuver around the menu, rather than actually playing the game.

I would definitely recommend playing even just the base game of the Sims 4 despite how shallow it is, but not this port. The game is free on pretty much every platform it's on, so there's no stopping you from enjoying it on a different system.
