The Sims 4 is moving on up to the PS4, Xbox One this November

It’s about damn time.  After giving up hope that the latest The Sims title would ever migrate off of PC/Mac platforms, EA today revealed that The Sims 4 is officially headed to the PS4 and Xbox One this November.

While we’re sure there will be minor changes and enhancement for the console versions, it sounds like EA is going to include most if not all of the available content and the series’ trademark customization options.

Those looking to pre-order the game will get some extra goodies too (depending on the version), including character customizations and various household items, and early access.

See the trailer and some screens below.
