Yes it's allowed but team accounts are not. 

Is it a team account if i had 5 children playing on 5 PS4 on my account at the same time ? When the person is from your family it's not considered as a Team Account ? It must be a stranger ? or is there somewhere a definition of a Team Account ? Were there any dispute threads for any team accounts someone got banned for doing this  ? And how to prove that trophies were done by some team members living in a different country instead of your children ? Just a few questions to start the discussion again ?

Don't see anything wrong with that... last night I was "playing" (ie: glitching) Jak 3 on my ps3 whilst knocking over Midnight Deluxe on my PS4 :)

Your account is running on two separate PS4 consoles at the same time, pretty sure that isn't allowed for this site, but i have to ask the followings...

Does it matter? Does it make you happy? Does it REALLY matter what other people online feel about it? As long as it's making you and yours happy - go nuts.

On that note - why not make your system her Primary and her system your primary? That way ya'll can play on your own accounts on the same game (assuming it's purchased digitally of course).

From personal experience I know you can't have two PSN accounts running on the same type of console at once. <- I believe this only applies if you sign in.

I had left my saved data from MHW on my fiance's PS4, I had him sign into my account on his system to upload it to the cloud, when doing so it kicked me offline on my account.

 

If anything Id say go for it if you guys were playing different consoles. so like both of you arent playing the PS4 at the same time on the same account

If you're asking about whether you'll be flagged for doing it, the answer is: no. Here are the flagging rules for the website: 

Under "Things that are not flaggable" one of the things mentioned is for playing multiple consoles at once. While some members of the website will scrutinise your list and probably criticise you for having earned trophies on two consoles at the same time, you won't be flagged for it by this website because it's a means of earning trophies that any account is capable of.

Sort of follow up question.

An example: what if i own 2 ps3s and copies of little big planet 2? On one copy a turbo controller is doing the 24 hour create trophy and on the other im just playing normally. Is this illegal on the site? 

 

That's allowed too, because having 2 copies of the game and playing it on 2 different consoles is possible to replicate within the boundaries set in the game, if the person has the hardware then no external devices need to be used to achieve the trophies in that manner, it's possible for anyone who has 2 PS3s, 2 copies of a game and 2 controllers to do, so it's not giving anyone an unfair advantage. What wouldn't be allowed is something that creates time stamps that are more often than not achieved through using a save file e.g. Battlefield Bad Company has separate trophies for completing a chapter on Normal and Hard and they don't unlock back to back, but if someone used 2 consoles and created a situation where those trophies unlocked back to back, they'd likely be flagged as it would be indistinguishable from people who hack the trophies with an online save file.

Nope, not possible of course to be online from 2xPS4s at the same time on 1 account, PSN will kick you out.

However you can have even 10 PS4 with the same PSN account, but you can use the digital content bought from PSS only on two of them at the same time:

1st has to be activated (and you can play it in offline), 2nd doesn't have to be activated, but you have to be online with this account.

Not true. Example: you can play "n" different Japanese VNs/usual games on "n" PS4s (where "n">1) on the same account while being offline at the same time, then you can sync the trophies from all of them with no "punishment".

What Constitutes a Flag:

"Though allowed as they fall under the multiple console rule, "trophy teams" are not advised as they increase the chance of a member using notorious methods of earning trophies within a game. Any impossible timestamps within a game list can get flagged."

Nothing wrong with that at all. I often play on my vita when I'm grinding out boring trophies on the PS3 or PS4. 

Same here or I'm playing through a game I've already done such as Life is strange. I worked on my grind for 1000 tank kills on get off my lawn while doing it on my PS3. I didn't get the beneficial glitch on that game.

Oh my word I remember that 1000 tank kill trophy well! When I first got the vita I installed the game as it looked fun and it was free. I made a huge mistake lols.

wow I never knew there was a discussion about it. It seems so... logical to me. it is possible to everyone. I have 5 consoles and often play up to three of them, for example when I have a new Tell tale, which I just watch and sometimes there are quick time events but I don't have to "play" much.

yesterday I played Chaos Child for PS4 and PSVita at the same time while my third console played singstar for me. I earned trophies on both games on the same time.(not in sinstar though, I grind the 400 Songs trophy :D)

I never had help from a friend, it's my struggle to find games I can combine that way to spare some time but that was always part of the fun.

Never thought It could be a problem to anyone^^"

It wasn't that bad. I didn't do it all in one go, played for a bit here and there. Happy I had it to work on during my second play through for life is strange, I don't like playing through most games twice so close together I know the story really well and find it boring, give it at least a few months or even a year then it's more enjoyable.

Sounds like child labour, someone might call social services even if it's not flagable ;)

 

@grifteskymfning Man that vid gave me a good chuckle; the lengths someone people go to!

 

Personally I only buy games that I want to play and enjoy, so I wouldn't even be able to play 2+ at once. I have nothing against others doing it though like in the vid (or lesser variants), but account sharing even if it's between family seems a bit unfair if you're actively going for leaderboard ranks. Imo it's no different to buying trophies/using saves/shareplay because the end result is the same; you're not earning those trophies yourself. So what's the point?
