If I can't even use the gallery the same way I can on PC, then nope not gonna buy the PS4 version, it would be great if mods like MCC worked on the PS4 version, so I could retain some control.. I use MCC to flag the selected sims to NEVER AGE, or never lose motivation stats.. I would like EA to look how Bethesda made Fallout 4 get mods, see what they could do as far as having EA approved mods on PS4.. Then use a gallery to download the mods into the game.. Just a suggestion..

It doesn't need mods it just needs the gallery. Its not the PC version and I doubt you would want to corrupt your console with all the mods that break.

Like Pepperjax said, we don't need corrupt games on console. Bethesda has mod problems itself. Just needs gallary in the game.

I'm sure console players would love it as PC gives better control of facial features.

One of the Simsgurus tweeted the gallery is currently in the works for consoles, so keep your eyes peeled. I've blown over $100 on this game as is within the past three months so The Gallery better be free. They seem too content with making console players 2nd class citizens.

Yeah I definitely won't be buying the Sims on console again. We paid full price and get not even half the game. And seeing my PC is for work and not gaming, I just won't own another Sims game I guess ha

A game shouldn't need mods to be a good game. Mods fill in what Devs miss.

I agree about the Gallery though. Now that consoles are online so much there's no reason why they shouldn't be set up.

Really though, whatever you may consider is missing (which is a lot), you're getting no less than if you were playing PC.

And don't feel too badly like you're second class citizens. Partly because, since your Sims 4 is a port from the PC, you kind of are. ;) And also because in EA's eyes, we're ALL second class citizens.

I think it would be cool to have the option for those that want to use mods but i don't see this happening, not anytime soon anyway.

I'm pretty sure you can edit your sims ability to age or not in the settings. You don't need a mod to turn off aging.

I think it will be free. It is something that they advertise from the PC game so why not add it into the console version if it was the same experience? I kinda think the reason on having less features was because this was arrived late. 2017. I don't think console gamers are going the latest packs unless its a big seller cough cats and dogs cough and they will prioritize the older packs first. Still console gets new pack to forward to every month, where areas on PC we have a dry spell. I even doubt pc will get a new pack this month.
