The Sims 4 for consoles was released on November 17, 2017.

In addition, many of the cheats for the PC release will also work on console, and can be invoked by holding all four shoulder buttons on the joypad.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/wikis/the-sims-4/Console_Version_Differences Console Version Differences - IGN]</ref> The [[The Sims 4 Gallery|Gallery]] was added to both the PS4 and Xbox versions on January 16, 2020.

In addition, many of the cheats for the PC release will also work on console, and can be invoked by holding all four shoulder buttons on the joypad.[8] The Gallery was added to both the PS4 and Xbox versions on January 16, 2020. PS Plus or Xbox Live Gold subscriptions are not required to access the Gallery; only an EA account is required. Console players are freely able to share content with PC and Mac players, and vice versa.[9]
