At this time this set is an exclusive perk for our console EA Play members.
I understand that some of you find that frustrating, and I've forwarded that feedback up.
Some feedback from a long-time player (20+ years) and a current subscriber:
My family have been subscribed to EA Play on XBox for many years, although now it’s through the XBox GamePass merge. I think it’s great that the games I’m interested in may start to get the reward items my family gets for other EA games. However, I think those items shouldn’t be things the entire community (console and PC alike) have been asking for for years like this set, not do I think it should be items with exclusive gameplay or items that include cultural representation.
I also think there should’ve been more clarity and communication about this release seeing as we hadn’t had an SDX drop for this month and rumours were wild, setting up some big expectations that may be creating a bigger reaction.
If The Sims is going to continue to be one of the game that will now get regular promotional items for members, I would suggest better communication and more careful consideration of what you include in the future. I would suggest fun decor items, recolours of meshes, better sales opportunities for buying packs or perhaps some bundling options.
I hope this feedback is passed on. I’ve tried to be very fair and thoughtful about this issue.
