Without an iota of doubt, The Sims 4 delivers an immersive and true-to-life gameplay experience by incredibly mimicking real-world aspects. Players can engage in the lives of Sims and get lost in the virtual world. Yet, some players desire for even more heightened lifelike experience, and this is where the first-person mode enters the spotlight.
The Sims 4 also has a first-person mode option that grants players the ability to explore the surroundings through the eyes of their Sims. With the first-person mode, players can experience their sim’s perspective and witness activities like playing video games, watching TV, or reading books from their point of view.
How To Go First Person in Sims 4
Going into the first person is pretty straightforward, but it differs depending on the platform. The process of switching to first-person mode in The Sims 4 on different platforms is as follows.
- Mac & Windows: Shift + Tab
- PS4: Press and hold R3 controller button.

Using these key combinations will activate first person mode. However, players should keep in mind is that they may encounter a glitch in this mode occasionally as The Sims 4 wasn’t built for this mode.
