The Sims 4 is a real-life simulation game that’s compatible with all the major gaming platforms out there. If you recently switched from a console to a computer, you may be wondering how you can transfer all the game content, expansion packs included, to your new device.
In this guide, I will answer all your questions related to this matter.
Can I transfer The Sims 4 expansion packs from PS4 to PC?
You cannot transfer your Sims 4 expansion packs from a PS4 console to a PC since these are two different platforms. Due to system incompatibility issues, you cannot play your PS4 version of The Sims 4 on your computer.
More expansion packs for PC
Despite this limitation, if you recently ditched your PlayStation console for a computer, it is worth mentioning there are more expansions and packs available for PC compared to PS4.
You’ll also have access to additional game features and I’m sure this will somehow compensate for the fact that you cannot transfer your game to a PC.
However, many gamers are very upset because of this limitation. They are not at all happy about the fact that they cannot use the packs they bought on PS4 on other platforms.
Some even went as far as accusing the game devs of being money greedy. Players don’t see why they should repurchase the packs for the PC version of the game if they already purchased them on their PS4 console.
Speaking of expansion packs, if you’re patient enough, you can buy them for cheap when EA slashes the price tag. The company typically applies heavy discounts every year in November and December.
If you own all The Sims 4 expansion packs, you can play all of them at once and enjoy a really amazing gaming experience.
Conclusion
The Sims 4 expansion packs are not transferable from PS4 consoles to computers. Game packs on different platforms are not compatible mainly because the companies involved in the game (EA, Sony, Microsoft) all want their share.
So, if you want to switch to a new gaming platform and The Sims 4 is your all-time favorite game, do take into account the fact that the expansion packs are not transferable.
⇒ Quick Tip:
If you decide to switch from Origin to Steam, you can transfer all of your DLCs to your new game client. Basically, you’re transferring your expansion packs from one PC game client to another.
Thank you for that easy-to-understand explanation. It makes so much sense.
