Re: [PS4/XB1] Updating Graphics Settings Message

It has to do with the graphics you guys.. us console players don’t have the option to raise or lower the graphic and control the graphic settings like PC players. When that messages appears that’s says it’s adjusting your graphics, it actually does change the graphics, it’s makes them weaker and less desirable. I had come to the point of not minding it because it usually allows my game to run smoothly.. from build to live mode and even traveling from lot to lot. We on console need the option to adjust the graphic settings manually, because whatever they have them set at is not compatible with our gaming systems, but as I stated I had come to not even mind the message appearing to adjust the settings even with the bad graphics and all as it actually allows me to play and save my game for hours on end. However, I wish we knew who to contact about add the graphic settings to the option menu because we definitely need it as it would cure a lot of the issues we are having.

@simsplayer818 A lot of people are complaining about the graphics on the series x aswell.

@simsplayer818 No problem its the same for ps5 so dont waste your money just for one game when other games look great on next gen a few of us next gen players have been asking for a next gen upgrade on twitter but we get ignored.

@simsplayer818 This is what tattoos look like on series x

Yes.. I seen the PS5 thread too, we on consoles need the graphic setting in options like the PC players have. Like when you think about it, it’s really crazy we don’t have that option. Not to mention how EA/Maxis are still selling and promoting a game for all console variations but don’t even have a team in setup in office geared toward the console consumers issues. I was actually fine with it adjusting the settings everytime I play my game because it actually allows me to play it, but has really frustrated me again. Like who do we contact? We need to make more noise about the situation.. we all need to head to twitter and get at the gurus or even try to get some of the popular YouTubers to cover this situation because they really are being insulting about it.

@tinronney1234 A few of us have taken to twitter but we get ignored.

Oh okay, I see… it’s not enough of us complaining ultimately and it’s not really a known issue across the whole Sims community so I see why they try to ignore us, I’m gonna start to try to reach out to a couple of YouTubers that does Sims content and see will they consider doing a quick few min video about it maybe just to start to shed more light on the situation. I’ll break it all down as best I can to show why it’s really an issue and unfair.

@tinronney1234 I wish you luck.

@simsplayer818 Problem is we are console players we are bottom of the pecking order if this problem was on pc it would be fixed.

@EMMS2025 Yes they do the game is blurred on next gen if this was on pc they would of solved it.

@Rachelharris31Yep! It is like us on consoles get played down and none

of our issues are ever fixed. Is discouraging.

It was so disheartening to buy a brand new console last year and have this issue. Surely they must be looking into it. I expected it to be a temporary issue while it was a new console but it's not new anymore. I can't believe it's still such a problem, in fact it sounds like it's affecting more consoles.

@EMMS2025 @simsplayer818 I made a thread any imput and screen shots are appreciated https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/Graphics/td-p/11669742

I have this issue as well, although not as bad thankfully (knock on wood)

The game is super buggy and it started after I bought more packs (including Cottage Living)

EA needs to stop pushing new content and focus on optimizing what they already sold millions of people...

It's pretty sad that modders for PC can do better what they obviously don't care to do.

I was going to recommend some advice to help it run smoother but we shouldn't have to turn settings off or disable content that we paid for just to have a Mediocre gaming experience. Don't need a DEV saying it's a solution because I've seen that elsewhere (and people settle)

Want something done people have to stop accepting beans when they make enough money to atleast give us a proper meal for what we paid for. No other game that I am aware of costs in the thousands to play that isn't properly managed.

The transparency is a massive red flag, I could go on and on and on.

Ggreetings !

First i want to say : I am very grateful for your persistent engagement !!

I read  a lot about the country-living as a trigger in the posts ... 

... so i remember the first time this "we had to fix your graphic ..."-screen shows up in my "Sims-storyline" was while i played on a fully packed plot (2mB), i downloaded, which uses country-living.

This plot also causes game crashes every time i want to leave it ! (and more)

But this "... graphics..."- screen gets to show up more often, the longer i play this "storyline" , and becomes worse , at the end : the texture keep blure more just by leaving the plot !

I thought, my "storyline" - i had played for years - accumulate to much digital waste and mistakes.

Nothing i tried help (tv-options did not too) , at the end i decided to delete everything depeding to this "storyline" off my Profile.

So i started a fresh gameline , till now :     no     " ... oh ... We had to adjust your graphicsetting ...so you can go on playing sims4... ".     (- what a joke !!! >exactly this makes the game   unplayable !)
