Why not mod support for XBOX?

«13
Microsoft's console has a version of Windows 10 and allow access to files, then why no support mods?


Or is because Sony no allow it (officially, without hacks) then Maxis no want than Playstation users feel low class users?

    No, I say than Microsoft allow than access to filesystem
    Playstation no
    Then Maxis no develop mod support for XBOX, no due technical limitation, else due at playstation cant access to filesystem then only could add mod suppor for xbox

    And THAT would make the version for xbox be better than version for playstation (if add mod support only for microsoft console)

    In other words, as Microsoft allow access to files but playstation no, if maxis develop mod and cc suport for xbox (the one than technically, oficially, without hacks, allow it) playstation simmers will see unfair that move of maxis

    Yeah, I think PlayStation players would get mad if Xbox got mods and cc.

    Well maybe it will help increase Xbox sales if they exclusively get sims 4 modding capabilities . Consoles don’t need to be equal !

    Yeah
    Would be same version but with mod and cc support
    (then would be a great difference)

    Maybe it's because of performance. Even if mods was allowed on both consoles it wouldn't be as well optimised as on PC.

    It's unlikely. Maxis prefers a hands-off approach to mods.

    Unlike, say, Bethesda, who wants to exert as much control over their modding community as possible.

    And this is why I feel only Bethesda are allowed to do modding on console. They oversee the whole thing with quite the degree of pressence.

    My guess is because the console programming is different from the PC, so mods made for PC would not work for console.

    Plus do you really think that is fair to the people on PS4 for only Xbox have the CC and or mods.

    I know right.
    Its kind of selfish.
    Agree if they do manage to give us options it should be for both. Oh I wish they did a gallery first. I think that's more important for some of us you build houses, create rooms or sims.

    And some fixes as this games riddled with bugs :(

    I would love the gallery I am not the best builder and Newcrest just sits blank because I can't build.

    Agree. Yes not everybody builds.
    It's odd not having anything.I miss other peoples lots to replace the boring ones found in the base game.
    I have just paid for dine out Luks party just to give me building options to build the empty new crest.
    Saying that I don't want the town full of food venues. I hope the hurry up with the next expansion because I don't want to build the whole town.

    But for xbox yet have officialy the tools for game and users access to the filesystem, without need of hacks, then if unfair, then blame to Sony, no EA

    I find that sad that you condone that Xbox only should have CC and Mods just because Microsoft has the tools to make that happen. I wasn't blaming anyone I just think if we were to have that option they both should get it not just the Xbox One, I have the Xbox One version but alot of people are playing on PS4.

    ok then return at my first post (where I opened this thread). EA is waiting than Sony provide user end tools to manage files. But if it never happens?

    Or the other option would be, as the game actually can access to files (else how would it work?) use an in-game gallery of mods and CC
    But again, how will feed that gallery with mods? using a pc?

    Actually, I do not find it sad being if Sony is given an chance for it's customers to use mods and they opt out regardless of how thier customers feel. If Xbox does have the tools and they wish for thier customers to have them and EA allows it I see no problem with that for they are other programs out there that fall into this and Sony refused but the other company pushed ahead.

    I personally don't think that is fair to the people who are on PS4 does that mean Xbox is the superior platform because Sony won't allow mods and CC? Both platforms should have mods and CC if possible or none at all if one won't support them.

    Then would be unfair for xbox users than know than Maxis technically could do it but no do it due Playstation dont allow it, would feel as Maxis level to down

    Its the next gen consoles and right now it doesn't support mods or CC. Xbox isn't the superior consoles much to your belief they are both equal So if one can't support mods or CC none of them should get it. That is really a no brainer because its very unfair that one console supports it while the other doesn't you would have a bunch of angry simmers on your hand if the Xbox One supported mods and CC and the PS4 didn't.

    Doesn't always work at that way being there are other instances where devs offers a benefit to both companies and one declines and the dev gave the benefit to the company that had accepted it. Has nothing to do with what system is superior it just the options available to each. PS4 can use mods but Sony will not allow it but if EA offers it to MS they have the right to accept it regardless if Sony will not.
