Re: Sims 4 xbox live account

Hi @EoinieMc,

We ask you to log in to play the game for several reasons, for example, we want to make sure the person playing is not a child (unless allowed by their parents), as the game is rated T (teens).

If I'm honest, it's how it usually works with all the games so I'm surprised you own a Xbox but don't have an account for it. Having a Xbox Live account is what allows you to use all the features of your console.

Do you have a Microsoft account in your Windows computer? Or an Outlook (previously hotmail) account? Then you can use same account to log into your console.

  • My xbox is logged in through outlook. So I can use outlook or a microsoft account instead of Xbox Live?
  • It was working just fine a couple of days ago. I am logged into my account on my Xbox and I have the disc in, I'm connected to the internet, and it's already set as my home Xbox. I'm still getting the "the person who bought this needs to sign in" error. What do I do now?
