I'm wondering if its because of the way patches work on console rather than on PC. My other thought is why are certain things excluded on console. Like for example we didn't get a Day of the dead event but Sugar Skull items are in the game. What about the positivity challenge? Whys didn't we get that?
My last question is if we are behind on patches does that mean we are plagued by the same issues that the previous version of the PC version had?

The challenge content is leftover stuff from limited time challenges for Sims 4 on PC. They predate the console release by a bit. The console games are ported from the PC game so it’s just easier to leave that stuff in even though the game never had the challenges. Patches for console have to clear Sony/Microsoft before they can be released, Origin allows EA a lot of flexibly for patching and things like limited time challenges. Console won’t get those. I’m pretty sure they said that back when they released.
I just figured once they got all caught up and everything was current on both systems, they would release games to both platforms at the same time. It makes sense. But apparently there will be a delay for the Console still. Kinda weird if you ask me. So I’m sure patches will constantly be delayed as well.
Or if the data is there why can't we just... Use it lol.
It's all hidden away instead 🕵
It’s not like PC gets those anymore either. I already explained the reasoning we were told, that patching is different for consoles and they couldn’t enable/disable the challenge content as flexibly as they can through Origin on PC.
You can enter debug and use any of the stuff, you can even get the rewards for the completed challenges. The challenges weren’t much of anything, and it amounted to collecting a few specific objects and that’s all. You aren’t missing out on anything major, which is why we on PC haven’t had a challenge in awhile.
