Once again the Nintendo Switch needs TS4!

I would love to have TS4 on switch. Sometimes I just want to play Sims without having to get out my laptop, and then I could play it wherever basically. The Sims games used to be on Nintendo systems (2 and 3 and spin-offs were on Wii and DS), and I really wish they'd come back.

I personally wouldn't even need a gallery, I just want to play.

also just so you're aware because ive been aware for months......


There currently are no plans to bring it to Switch at this time.

Ok not to bring down you're love for the switch but the ps4 and xbox both have separate GPU and CPU. The switch has it incorperated in one chip. With 4 gb of ram memory to 8 gb to the xbox. Both ps 4 and xbox have a reason to be as large as they are. While the switch is very sleek and compact. All the internals of the ps 4 and xbox are to get the most out of a console. While the switch is a hybrid between a console and portable game device. And even the ps 4 and xbox struggle at some point with the sims.
The switch is a very cool device and has a lot of cool stuff and games but realistic, it just misses the power. Because 1 chip has to do and graphics and calculations all at once.

For the switch, when it is mobile they have turned everything down otherwise the battery would not live long. The docking station has its own power supply. There of can use max. But even then of would not compare. Read https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/console-gpu-power-compared-ranking-systems-by-flop/2900-1334/15/ to see the different.

Also note that the switch has something no other console has. You can game mobile on it.

So please no more "docking superpowers". I wish you the best but keep of a bit real please. No Harm intended.

Im not trying to change you're mind. Im stating that a switch has not enough computing power compared to a xbox one and/or a ps4. You claim that a switch gets superpowers when docked. I say that it is no superpower. Read the info in the links. They are fact. No strange things in it.

To be correct. Im not against sims 4 on switch. It just has not the computing power to run it. So in order to have the sims 4 on the switch maxis has to heavly modify the game. Don't think maxis or EA want to put money in that.

In terms of diskspace: (this is from xbox one disk space)
Base game : 13,3 gb
Get to work : 1,6 gb
Get together: 1,6 gb
Cat's and dogs: 1,9 gb
Seasons: 1,3 gb
City living: 2,5 gb
Get famous: 2,5 gb
The rest is smaller then 1 gb.

Total gb is 30 gb for everything that is there for the sims 4 on xbox.

Still wish you good luck and hope you get it some day on the switch.

@Needrar you're not wrong. i didn't wanna be that person to come out with all the facts because i can be very pushy and assertive. im glad i didn't have to. well said!

@JaySnowy noone wants to change your opinion of the Switch. I infact love my Switch. but compared to PS4 and Xbox it under performs. it cannot pull the same weight, it's not that we are trying to sway you. clearly we've played these devices and formed our own opinions based on experiences with the Switch. We know FIRST HAND it cannot perform. even skyrim plays like garbage on it. i mean really.... is it a smart investment to put time and money into a game for a system that you know for a fact USERS ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT, due to gameplay inability. frame rate absolutely bonks on the Switch. you cannot say that putting it in the charging dock does anything other than enhance the screen when connected to a smart tv. we have the opinions we do, because our game play is not up to par. we really don't need the sims team working on another console, when they cant keep up with what theyve got going rn.

I’ll give the console team credit. They have basically caught up to PC. 25 packs and the base game in 15 months.

On a side note. I have seen some comments here (and other forums) suggesting that console takes time away from PC. They are two different teams.

Thnx Paigec945 for the support and confidents. ?

Like I said to you on your previous post, frame rate and screen resolution means nothing in terms of power. Even if it was, Nintendo designed the switch and its games to work docked or not. If the game will only run well docked, why on earth would they sell it? That would betray the purpose of the switch. I bought it to play portable. If i want to play it docked, thats fine, but most of the games I have/want are on PS4 as well, like Crash and Spyro. Why would I play them at a lower quality image (even when docked!), when I can play them at 30FPS and a gorgeous image resolution with full fur for crash (on switch he is MUCH smoother, and less furry) and why would I play spyro with less of the visual splendour at home? I'd happily play less quality versions out and about, but at home, where i have a dock? nah mate.

Again, the Sims 4 is too much to run on the switch. Even docked, I sincerely doubt it has enough power to run base game, let alone DLC added.. And besides, SimGuruGrant has said it won't work. If the gurus have said no, due to power, why would you not believe them? https://twitter.com/SimGuruGrant/status/1080962702086877184

You'd be better off asking for a spin-off, something like MySims or mobile. I know you hate it, but you can't change it,you cannot make the switch more powerful than it is, which it just isn't. Especially if you want all the DLC, you just won't get this. the DLC on PC slows the game down some, remember how the sims 3 ran after even 2-3 expansions? I CANNOT run even the base game on my computer, and as the Sims 4 gets more content, it is starting to slow down my PC too. And with a PC, at least you can switch out parts, or build something more powerful. If you take parts out of a switch, you've likely broken it. Not every console has to have every game.

@Feliz you did imply individual teams, and with that being stated im not really sure why you can state previously that they're two different teams. different would indicate that they are on seperate projects, when infact that is not the case here with the team members. they switch sides, and platforms to where is needed most. technically it's not 2 different teams at all, but one team who are tasked with different missions. just 3 months ago, there was a shortage of members over on console. so they moved people from pc to console to help fill the gap. there isn't one specific team for console and one specific team for pc. thats why im confused.

ANYWHOOOO, this is off topic and if you'd like to continue i urge you to open a new thread with this as the discussion. Back to Switch!
