Unfortunately, EA has not addressed any plans to port The Sims 4 onto the iOS store. Although you can buy The Sims 4 on the Origin or Steam app, you cannot access these from your iPad directly and it will not run on the operating system.
You may be able to run the game through an emulator online, but these are tricky to source and may be from questionable origins. Alternatively, The Sims Mobile is available on iOS and Android devices, which may offer an effective substitute. The Sims Mobile uses similar assets to The Sims 4 but runs as a traditional mobile game and city builder, implementing time loop mechanics and a level-up system.
