Kinda weird to see a mainline Sims game arrive on consoles so thoroughly intact.  And unfortunate that it's so intact that it's restrained by its own UI and control scheme.

Maybe the time they spent porting this game for console they could've improved the game on PC, but yeah sure...whatever you say EA.

I'm at least glad that EA decided to actually include all the patches and most of the DLCs onto the console versions of the game instead of doing what they usually do, but I don't think the problems you stated with the console UI and controller scheme would be worth the $50-$60 drop for me. Thanks for the review, LRG!

You'd think they'd make this mouse and keyboard combatable if they were keeping the same ui

Sure thing! It seems they're committing to keeping it updated alongside PC as well, so that's nice but I hope they address the controls

I just realized you have to awkwardly rant all of that to a camera and make it look natural. Random thoughts aside, good rant. Keep up the great work!

Decades later, and we're still suffering the same problems as Starcraft 64! At least consoles have since gotten their own RTS style games that work well for the controls, not so much with a "Sims" style game.

Why this isnt on the Switch, boggles my mind! It would be a great fit!

yikes, playing it with a controller sounds like torture. I was assuming it would have controlled like the classic console versions of the Sims back in the Gamecube era. I don't really understand why it took so many years to port this if they literally made no changes... So wack

Hey broski, I dug the higher face time you did with this one. You're great behind the camera, but seeing your facial expressions along with your commentary here was a boon. Good luck with and enjoy the requisite narcissism that likely expounds from mentioning this xD
