It could just be me but it really feels like the console port of this game was an afterthought.Don't get me wrong, I've played games where console ports get updated after PC but those games... They fix the bugs found in the PC version before sending the update to certification, give release dates for updates (did anyone else noticed the bragging going on with IL announcing PC and console release dates?) and for the most part the end result is up-to-date with PC and bug free.I have an issue with that first tweet, it's like the devs are saying "If there's not enough people asking for this, we won't port it" and that doesn't sit well with me. They've mentioned the fact that they want consoles to be on par with the PC version, never bring up the fact we're one dlc pack behind and then dangle the thing in front of us like a carrot on a stick saying they want to port it but don't know how?It's because it's dlc for dlc isn't it? I would say they should've thought about that when making MFPS but I don't think the console port existed at the time. Which begs the question- do the console ports exist because they were planned in the first place or made to just make more money?I'm probably being too harsh, I've had a rough couple of days but getting my thoughts down like this is cathartic and I don't mind being proven wrong.I want to be hyped for the new pack as it releases on PS4 around my birthday but it just boils down to a "have and have nots" mindset because one piece of dlc not ported, one that I would like to buy regardless of controversy.

This pack isn’t as straightforward as the others because it’s reliant on another DLC to access all of the content. Without C&D you can’t use half of the entire pack. It was predatory when they did it the first time, it will be just as predatory the second time if they release it. I have serious doubts about it, and I’m ok with them skipping it. There is no reason to try to make bad ideas into something good, let them die.

Whilst they are at it I was they would make better pet beds and make the pets have more freewill cause my pet won't go to bed unless I tell them which is annoying j also hate that they are flat haha

With Sony/Microsoft there’s hoops they have to jump through before shipping something as simple as a game patch. I’d imagine they’d have a tricky time explaining the goal with this pack and why they should host a DLC that explicitly requires another DLC (on top of the full priced base game) on their store. Back when MFPS was coming out the developers literally pleaded for those who didn’t own C&D not to buy the pack. Because for people who don’t own it, you are losing half of the entire pack. Sure it comes with a few CAS recolors and some new objects for buy mode, but the bulk of the pack is for cats and dogs.

I'm not sure we are ever getting my first pet stuff

For me it's more that they say they want us on par with the PC/Mac version of the game but then can't release the pack that can get us there, if you can't release that pack then don't say things like this cause we'll never be on par with PC/Mac without it

Yes this, they practically boasted about PC and Console being up-to-date a while ago yet still no news on MFPS. Either Sony or Microsoft are in a snit over the "it's DLC for DLC" thing or someone higher-up the game dev chain doesn't want it to be released because of the original controversy.

Would be nice if the devs could tell us more othe than a vague maybe. Perhaps people need to keep bugging them, or something.

I don't know, we don't know anything and it's been, what, a couple of years? I don't use social media so I can't exactly ask anyway but, it would be fantastic if we were actually up-to-date pack wise.

Oh well, I'm waiting for the UI scaling update to hit PS4 before I start playing regularly again, I actually need it to play for more than a few hours. With the UI in its current state I get headaches after a while and stopped playing for my health.

Given up on MFP stuff lol the devs have moved on as you’ve stated lol

What’s up with the UI?

And from voting options for the community stuff pack, console might have a hard time getting another pack because it would need another DLC again if pet jumpers win, unless they managed to do my first pet

I'm vision impaired the UI is too small for to read comfortably, so even trying to ignore everything except the Needs, Inventory and Career panels still gives me a headache after a while. I hope console gets the UI scaling update, I love to properly enjoy the game headache free.

It still bugs me that they have difficult adding this to consoles when consoles are full of worse micro-transactions ?‍♀️ to Sony and Microsoft: your hypocrisy is showing.
