The 4-d spin-1 Ising (BEG) model has been simulated using a cellular automaton (CA) cooling algorithm improved from the 3-d BEG model algorithm for the four-dimensional hypercubic lattices. The ground state diagram (k,d) of the 4-d BEG model has ferromagnetic (F), quadruple (Q) and staggered quadruple (SQ) ordering regions. The simulations have been made in the -3 <= k=K/J <= 1 interval through the d=1 line for L=18 lattice size. The (k (B) T (C)/zJ,k) phase diagram has been obtained through the d=1 phase line. The results show that the model has a bicritical point (BCP) as in d < 4 dimensions. The phase diagram has been separated to the three regions of the staggered quadruple (SQ), the ferromagnetic (F) and the paramagnetic (P) cases.
