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.

I personally don't care about the pajama set, but I really don't like the direction this could go. What if it would be a very useful and needed gameplay item locked behind some subscription to EA Play?

I am NOT willing to subscribe to anything that I don't need, even if I have the money to do so. That's for sure! I love the Sims 4, but this is a terrible idea.

I suppose a subscription service makes sense if you play lots of games and don't mind if, at some point, your favourite game is no longer part of their subscription service. I'm not even sure why a subscription would be needed for the Sims 4 since basegame is already free.

Yeah, You're right Sims 4 base game is even free now, they've given away free games through Amazon Prime and Epic Games but I get some free games and don't even play them. I tend to stick to playing The Sims 4. I know it's a game where you really invest your time being creative, not a good idea to go subscription base route and like someone mentioned I don't want this to become the norm either.

The issue I have with subscription systems is that they usually don't keep up the good work that convinced you to get a subscription in the first place. This isn't about EA, all subscription systems work this way and they eventually cut corners.

I am wondering why EA didn't react when it was leaked. They knew it was leaked and they knew simmers were looking forward to it under the assumption that it was a normal SDX. I know they usually don't react to rumours, but in this case it would have been better if they had.

Do you know if people with EA play get to play with all the expansion packs or only base game?

I checked the EA Play website and it listed only basegame. If you chose the cheaper option, you get to play new release games only for upto 10 hours, so if you were looking forward to play the new EP you probably only get to test it out for 10 hours if they offer it.

I don't understand why they are doing this? I doubt people are going to subscribe to EA Play for some pyjamas...

So.. make them available? I hope this doesn't carry on with future content.

I thought this was locked behind the Digital Deluxe upgrade? Or were they put in the base game at some point? I wanted the upgrade content, but I didn't want to pay 15 bucks CAN to get them.

I've spent a small fortune on the sims already. I'm not about to pay a subscription fee too.
