ETA: And no you don't have to subscribe to continue playing the Sims 4

EA Play is not new, and covers many more games besides Sims 4. This is the first time I have seen anything exclusive from Sims behind the EA Play subscription wall. It may be a test to see how it goes over, but I will take a wait and see stance on it.

Not now we don't. I think what many of us are worried about is that this might change at some point in the future.

I was thinking that if sims 4 was under sub for any new game play I would miss it because this game has brought me great joy but I still wouldn't pay a sub I don't really play other games that much so for me it would not be worth the cost and also I think its a bad idea for the sims sales wise
because people can save for a pack or wait for a sale but a lot of them can't pay more bills they said the reason they were making worlds small was so the game could be played on low end pcs but the person who can't save for a new pc isn't gonna be able to pay a monthly sub to play sims 4

Hey all,

I understand the FOMO, but here's just a small selection of items that PC players have had that console players still don't:

• Noctis Outfit
  
• Family Portrait
  
• Bare Naked Gnome
  
• Awesome Animal Hats (all PC players got this free)
  
• Mods
  

Rewarding the players with EA Play on console shouldn't be taken as a slight to you if you're on PC.

Oh yeah that's right I had forgot us console players don't have that Family Portrait.

I am on pc and also don't have the family portrait. I wish there was some way to get it in my game. I would even install out sims mobile to unlock it. But this one time offer was never repeated. I wish they would repeat it for All players.

As for the pyjamas, they would definitely have been nice but I can do without. What worries me is the principle. This opens the door for withholding other content from a certain player group based on platform. And that goes both ways. Console players should also be able to get the items created by EA in the list above. I can't think of no reason why this is not available for console players? I thought we all played the same game?

There is a CC version of the family portrait.

The pyjamas will probably become available as CC as some point too.

It already has: https://www.simfileshare.net/download/3699455/

Well that doesn’t help me as a PC player because I only play a vanilla game and I buy all the content that comes out, so I shouldn’t have to rely on CC for those things. I think I should be able to buy the pajama set so my collection will be complete, and when I go into the gallery, if won’t come up that I don’t have certain content. I buy all the packs that sims 4 puts out, and usually pay full price. I shouldn’t have to have an incomplete collection when I have bought all the packs and kits. I have never “expected” to get “free” content like some people do. I have always been willing to pay for sim content from Maxis, but I won’t get a subscription. When sims 4 came out, we were never told we would have to have subscriptions to get our content, I was always under the impression that I could buy the content.

I agree I don't want to download the pjs ether and I wont if ea just wants it to be on console I'm fine with that

Heya,

Yep. This is the downside of us not engaging with rumors, this was not an SDX drop as it was rumored but rather a console exclusive EA Play perk.

What if people don't want or have the money for EA Play? Bogus, misleading, and cruel for it to NOT be a FREE SDX.

Lot of fuss for some pajamas that look like it's just a recolor of some sweatshirt and sweatpants already in game. ?

It is not a fuss about the pyjama set. It is concerns about the principle to restrict access to items to a certain group of people.

I always thought the only difference between console and pc players was the option to use mods. Guess I was wrong.

If sims 5 is going to be a subscription, I will not be able to and don't want to play it. This feels like a test. I wonder if what else will follow as subscribers only.

I just hope people don't ruin the fun of the livestream over a pajama set. I've seen simmers already plotting to spam the livestream chat over this. *Le sigh* ?

don't they always find a reason to act that way though? if it wasn't this those people would have found another reason

Since console players can't use cc or mods it is only right they get a little something free but being an EA Play subscriber I think that they should have received something free for a game that isn't free
Those on pc you never know if a cc creator will do some pjs similar
Isn't it time that those who play on console get a few things free as they can't use MODS and CC and the Sims team acknowledges this
Ok back disappearing in the woodwork my little rant is over with

I wouldn't say it's free, you have to pay £3.99 subscription, it's only if the console player is already on EA play will benefit, I'm not paying for an subscription just for the sims 4 considering I've spent about £1,000 on this game already, pc and console should have the same official content aswell, the only difference should be one can play with mods and the other can't, I really hope this doesnt become a thing

EA we already have expansions, game packs, stuff packs and kits, why do we need to pay an subscription on top off that in order to get all the content available??

I wonder what is the issue to add these things on consoles. Ok. I can understand mods (even if there is a couple of possibilities to implement them - curated CC via SDX for example), but the rest of the objects?

What about the sleepwear. I'm totally against that, even as the console player. Especially the timing is bad for me, because we are struggeling with the controllers after the last pach and we are still waiting for any response from EA, but instead we receive exclusive content for which noone asked for.

I must say that these days something is wrong with the marketing. After the controversial patch, trailer, world size explanation we have this.
