The Sims 4 is one of the most popular sandbox life simulation games developed by Maxis and published by EA. With its open-ended gameplay and high level of player freedom, you can create unique Sims in Create A Sim (CAS), design dream homes in Build Mode, develop careers, build relationships, and shape multi-generational families. Thanks to a wide range of Expansion Packs, Gameplay Mods, and Custom Content (CC), every save file can evolve into a completely different story.

Although The Sims 4 is officially available on PC, Mac, and consoles, there is currently no native Android or iOS version. If you'd like to continue managing your household while commuting, traveling, or away from home, OSLink lets you remotely stream your PC directly to your mobile device without affecting your save files.

Since the game continues running on your home PC, all rendering and processing are handled by your computer while your phone simply displays the game and sends your controls. This allows you to preserve your graphics settings, DLC, Mods, CC, and save progress exactly as they are on your PC.

How to Play The Sims 4 on Mobile

1. Install The Sims 4 on Your PC

The Sims 4 can be downloaded through EA App, Steam, and other supported platforms. The base game is free to play, while additional gameplay can be expanded through Expansion Packs, Game Packs, Stuff Packs, and Kits.

Since the game runs entirely on your PC during remote play, make sure your computer can run The Sims 4 smoothly. If you use large numbers of Gameplay Mods, Script Mods, or high-resolution Custom Content, sufficient RAM and storage space are recommended to ensure stable streaming performance.

2. Install OSLink on Your PC and Mobile Device

To stream The Sims 4 to your phone, install OSLink on both devices.

On PC

Visit the official OSLink website, download the Windows client, install it, and sign in to your account.

On Mobile

iPhone / iPad: Download OSLink from the App Store.

Android: Download OSLink from Google Play or install the APK from the official website.

Sign in with the same OSLink account on both devices. OSLink automatically establishes an encrypted connection without requiring manual IP configuration or device pairing.

3. Launch The Sims 4 Remotely

After opening OSLink on your PC, select your connected computer in the mobile app to establish a remote desktop connection.

Once connected, you can:

• Launch EA App or Steam directly from your phone and start The Sims 4.
• Use OSLink's built-in game shortcut to launch the game with one tap.

For the best experience, enable 60fps PC Game Mode before playing. This helps reduce input latency, making furniture placement, camera movement, Build Mode navigation, and Live Mode interactions feel much smoother.

Why The Sims 4 Is Perfect for Mobile Remote Play

Unlike competitive games, The Sims 4 focuses on creativity, planning, and long-term progression, making it ideal for short gaming sessions throughout the day.

Continue Your Save Anytime

Whether you're decorating a luxury mansion, managing a Legacy family, or running a successful restaurant, OSLink allows you to resume your existing PC save instantly without transferring files or creating duplicate saves.

Build Mode on the Go

Many players spend more time in Build Mode than actually playing in Live Mode. During your commute or breaks, you can redesign floor plans, decorate interiors, experiment with landscaping, or browse community creations from the Gallery whenever inspiration strikes.

Full DLC and Mod Support

Since the game still runs on your PC, everything you've already installed remains fully available, including:

• Expansion Packs
• Game Packs
• Stuff Packs
• Kits
• Custom Content (CC)
• Gameplay Mods
• Script Mods

Your mobile device simply mirrors the complete PC experience without sacrificing content or visual quality.

OSLink Features That Improve The Sims 4 Experience

Custom Virtual Key Mapping

Because The Sims 4 relies heavily on mouse controls, OSLink includes customizable virtual controls that can be tailored for different gameplay scenarios.

Recommended Control Layout

You can freely adjust button size, position, and transparency to create a layout that fits your personal playstyle.

Support for External Keyboard, Mouse, and Controllers

For players who enjoy detailed building projects, OSLink also supports Bluetooth keyboards, mice, and game controllers. Your mobile device automatically forwards all inputs to your PC, making complex building tasks significantly more efficient.

High-Quality, Low-Latency Streaming

All graphics are rendered on your home PC in real time while your phone streams the gameplay. Even if your save includes extensive Mods, high-resolution texture packs, or numerous Expansion Packs, you can still enjoy the original graphics quality with smooth remote performance.
