    Will consoles eventually have.....?

    edited October 2019 in The Sims 4 Console Discussion
    Is it possible one day that consoles eventually have same day release dates as PC? Or will it always be a month later after original release? I understand that packs have to be approved by Microsoft and Sony but maybe it will be possible one day that packs can be released a little earlier. Any thoughts?

      I’m not sure.
      What I will say is there are plenty of games out there that have simultaneous pc and console releases so it’s not impossible generally speaking. I think them blaming Sony and Microsoft for that isn’t entirely fair.

      I'm not fussed about waiting a bit, what I'd really like is to be able to access and use CC on my PS4.

      I doubt it. The fact the DLC always drops with bugs, and we never seem to get real notice of what’s coming anymore (ROM being the exception), tells me they are working pretty much up to deadline. And the “console team” can’t work on converting it until they have a finished game/DLC to convert, so...?

      Actually that’s not entirely true. Console started getting release dates from Island living trailer onwards.

      I've been playing on console since fall 2018, and it's definitely improved a lot since then. I remember when I first started playing there was a bug where I'd you were playing in Newcrest sometimes the game would just crash for no apparent reason. We now get release dates when new packs are announced, and get the new features that come out on PC a month or so after their release (for example this pre RoM pack that just released with the customizable stairs came out on PC September 5th). If the console team really does have to wait for the content to be finished before porting like ddd994 said, they are doing a pretty fast turnaround job.

      Atleast consoles are getting releases within a month after pc for packs. I remember how it used to be 3 to 7 months after PC. Island Living started a much more tolerable release.

      Maybe and maybe not depending on how many teams they have, they appear to focus on PC initially with good reason and then console last.

      At least a gallery that console players can share their households and builds with other console players.

      I quiet like that there is a bit of a gap between the two as it allows me to decide whether I think the packs are worth it or not before I buy them without the temptation of actually having a product to purchase. I can be a bit of an impulse purchaser so if the option isn’t there then I can spend some time on the forum and watching YouTube content to decide whether it’s something I want to pay full price for.
      I get how it’s frustrating though for others who just want to jump straight in. It’s annoying though that the bugs that PC simmers find in the new packs aren’t addressed though before they are released on console!

      It's going to be crossed platforms meaning you can download from pc or consoles.

      It's impossible, they'll never make releases simultaneously
    • NikkihNikkih Posts: 1,758 Member
      That's what they announced on maxis monthly, it must be possible, perhaps we will catch with the newest update and my first pet either January or February then after that same day releases packs and updates @Specia1sim

      I guess I'd like moderate modding. Nothing too extreme, but wouldn't mind it limited to CAS items. I see so many incredibly talented folks online with their PC created materials and I'm so envious of not only their talent but the finished work. I liked how the mods for Fallout 4 and Skyrim turned out overall

      I doubt it. Could be wrong.
