Is The Sims 4 Enjoyable on the Steam Deck?

Hey everyone! I’m exploring handheld gaming options, and my wife is considering getting a Steam Deck mainly for The Sims 4. I’m curious if anyone here has experience with playing The Sims 4 on it. How’s the installation process? Is the game smooth to play, especially with the expansions? Would appreciate any insights—good or bad!

The Sims 4 is actually free on the Steam store, and it runs pretty well on the Deck! Although, it’s even better if you have a keyboard and mouse for controls. Just keep that in mind if she’s planning to dive into those intricate building modes!

When you say it’s free, do you still need to log in for mods? Just wanting to clear that up for anyone new to the game!
