Why did they even bother to update? We didn't even get the anniversary gifts and we still dont have the new roof tools or animals hats that came in a patch a few months ago.

I feel like there were more bugs to fix than just the few they listed in the notes.

I read the patch notes but they didn't really mention much. Unless all the changed were 5 things.Nope. The game isn’t quite on the same page as PC. The patch was kind of disappointing. Sims 4 on Xbox is playable, but has a lot of bugs. Bugs pertaining to the controller should be top priority. If they can’t replicate that on their end then they aren’t properly testing the game. It's the same on the ps4.

I think it will just take time to catch up. It's another revenue source for them, so I'm sure they are committed to making the game just as fun and attractive as it is on the PC version.

@simoleanj I have the same issue with resizing mirrors. Hope that gets fixed at some point.

I hope they patch it soon. I love the feature. I often use it with paintings and décor.

I'm still awaiting a patch to fix the issue where I'm unable to save anything to my library without the files being corrupted!

I wonder sometimes if they have the adequate manpower behind the console version, like for public interaction, technical support & bug-testing, etc. Or this could just be standard fare for the game that I wouldn't know because I never played the PC version.

I think the patches have to go through sony/microsoft too so it probably does take a while for them to green light the patch. Im super impressed that we got the chrismas decor in december and the new skin tones, hair and tshirst so close to the pc version getting them. I am glad we didnt have to wait for those. I am looking forward to the roof updqte tho as i build alot of houses that have gambrel roofs.

Yes that's definitely a good point, something that I neglected to take into consideration also. Even though I was certainly hoping to see more included in this patch, I know some fixes & additions can take time & they possibly wanted to focus on the few fixes they knew they could push out right away alongside the anniversary items. Hopefully the next patch will be much more substantial, as there's definitely a lot of bugs that people are experiencing that need addressing.

Its a possibility they won't give us free stuff like they do for PC/Mac
Blows if its the case :(

With the exception of 2017 freebies (everything after toddlers) they have supplied the same free content in 2018 for both platforms. The January patch added the same PC content on console, and the newest patch added the hair/shirt and skin tones from the PC update as well.

I see.
So have they added the new roofs?
Or the photography skill to the base game?
What i meant to say was they might not give us all free stuff.

Correct me if I am wrong.

They're working on both of those.

Have they confirmed this please Cat.

thanks.

It's unbelievable that the recent patches state "We've added this" or "We've done that" but never "We've fixed the game crashing issue" or "We've fixed this bug".

The past few nights, my game has crashed within 5 minutes and 10 minutes of playing. The first night, my Sim Kelly starts walking up the stairs in her home and the game crashed in the first 5 minutes of play. And the second time, my Sim's family are having a birthday party and the game crashed.

Its weird that a console game would crash.

It does occasionally.
