The Sims 4 for Nintendo Switch

If Bethesda can Bring Doom and Wolfenstein 2 and Rockstar can bring L.A. Noire, EA you HAVE NO EXCUSES NOT to bring TS4 to Switch. Storage Issues? F that. Doom is 45GB on PC. On Switch only 16Gb Cartridge Plus 9Gb for Multiplayer. As a PS4 Gamers and PC Gamers, there are no way I'm gonna get TS4 on any other console except Switch. Why should I buy something that Required me to sit in front of a TV to play it while I already have TS4 with MODS on PC? Anyway Cheers and I hope it's gonna come sooner or later to Switch.

It's Nintendo's fault. ME:A needs more space than a Nintendo Switch catridge allows (32GB).
Plus the internal storage of the Switch is 32GB unless you pay for expansion. The Sims 4 as it stands with all patches and packs is more than 32GB and we're only 3 EP's in.

Unless Nintendo release a bigger model, it's highly doubtful. Meanwhile Xbox and PS4 have 500Gb and 1TB models.

Its not Nintendo's fault you can add more by getting a micro sd card and Nintendo has never competed with PS4 or Xbox One so why would they try to compete now? That is why everyone has the choice of what console fits them the best. Since I have been a big Nintendo fan for a long time I chose to get one and 500 GB on PS4 doesn't go far if you DD your games.

Um that's because the Wii U was a flop. The Switch is really successful.

It's only successful at the moment because it's new and hard to come by (because there's limited stock, sales are often made by resellers).

That said, the Wii U only flopped because third party backed out. If they do the same with The Switch, the Switch will flop too.

Its not hard to find stores are carrying it. It won't be a flop because the fact its a hybrid console more so then the Wii U. Since I like handheld gaming systems way better that is why I like it. But I do have a PS4 and a Xbox One S.

You're proving my point.

A SD card being required to play, is the issue. Only a small number of players will have an SD card, so it's useless for EA to sell it to everyone who owns a Switch.

If Nintendo don't want to compete with the PS4/Xbox1, then that is their fault that the Switch can't play the game.
But EA can't market a game to a small selection of players. They need to invest in an eco-system that allows players to play out of box, with all DLC.

If they can't, it's not profitable.

I am proving no point and if you want to DD games you have to expand what you have anyways and I have a PS4 500 GB one it doesn't go very far DD games like I do. I have to delete games now to even play games on it. Its a lot slower to fill a Nintendo's console then it is to fill PS4 or even Xbox One games since every physical game has to be downloaded on the console. Besides they already have a game that would fill the entire storage of the switch and its hasn't come out yet its Dragon Hero's 1&2 . I don't find PS4 or even Xbox one being Eco Friendly you waste more space playing the games you bought for the console then you would just having the disks and not having to add them to your very low amount of storage system.. That is probably why I like Nintendo products they don't do that.

No you don't. You do IF you never delete a game off your HDD. But tell me one game, on PS4 or Xbox One, where you need to buy an external hard drive to play ONE game with DLC? You don't.

The point is, EA want money. They want to sell a game, where everyone who purchases the base game, can buy all the DLC out of the box with what they have.

If you need to have an SD card (which costs over $100) to play on the Switch with all DLC, and only like 1 in 10 owners have one, that means EA can only market to 100 people per every thousand. And only 20 people of that 100 might be interested.

I'm not saying there's 0 market for EA, but there's too many conditions to warrant being able to market, when they can market to 1000 people for every 1000 PS4 consoles sold.

Yea that makes sense. My ps4 pro has 1TB most consoles do now. I have so many games instaled and im using just over a quarter if that of my GBs available.

Seeing as how the sims 4 is doing so well for consoles in sales, I would love for them to port it to the NS. It’d be stupid of them not to...I mean come on, PORTABILITY enough said.... I went on amazon and literally no physical copies aren’t available that’s so cool! And I’m glad it’s doing well maybe that’ll show EA that we are serious about console versions. The Nintendo Switch needs some love! Come on EA please for the love of god! Give us the Switch version next fall and be done with it.

I’d buy it instantly! day one id buy all dlcs available just because I can take my sims anywhere I want. I can even lay In bed all day if I like and play it. sometimes it can be annoying playing it on desktop because I get a bit tired. anyways, guys if you really really!!! Want the sims 4 on the Nintendo Switch we need to let EA hear our voice! there’s a hashtag on Twitter that y’all should use to get them to do it! use it on Facebook IG and Twitter everywhere that uses hashtags. It’s...

#BRINGTHESIMS4TOTHENINTENDOSWITCH

come on Switch desperately needs this game... I will fight on my own if I must until they hear me out...but please help me in sharing this hashtag on twitter where I started it. Give them a good reason why it needs to get ported to the switch and maybe they will do it. Come on it doesn’t take long to post that hashtag please bug the crap out of them until it happens.

#BRINGTHESIMS4TOTHENINTENDOSWITCH

P.s EA IF YOU READ THIS PLEASE PORT IT PLEASE! I bought it already on the pc and it just makes sense to make it for the Nintendo Switch. It’s an awesome console and if you don’t see how great the sims 4 will do on the go, I don’t know what’s the matter with you but you ARE CRAZY! Not to bring the sims 4 to a portable system that is more than capable of handling...so do not give an excuse that the file size is too small because you can get More memory on it.

Oops I meant the memory on the switch to not give any excuses that it’s too small to bring the sims over because there is such thing as memory cards and the switch is capable of holding 1TB so someday when ever that is available that’ll be great but for now a 250GB card is more than enough hell even a 60GB is fine.

Anyways just don’t give up just because simgurudrake says no plan for it now that doesn’t mean a no guys...if you leave it alone they won’t port it. you ask for it now fight for it!

In case any of you guys haven't seen this, SimsVIP posted an article explaining why we need The Sims 4 for the Switch, I though it seemed relevant for this post :)

https://simsvip.com/2017/10/25/need-sims-4-nintendo-switch/

I wonder if theres no switch port due to the console sales or if its because its harder to port to the switch. It was mention during E3 a few years back that the current gen consoles (xbox one and ps4) where designed to be much easier to develop games for as last gens were so difficult , not sure if its the same for the switch. I wouldnt personally think the switch could run the game maxed out but i saw that there will be skyrim special edition an La Noire available for switch so i dont know.

Most retailers that sell the Nintendo switch will also sell SD cards, usually in the same section of the store if not in additional areas as well. You can get a 64GB Micro SDXC card for $25, and they make larger configurations too.

Even if they do, the Switch can only handle up to 64GB.

Actually the Switch supports up to 2 tb micro sd when they are released. That was announced before the Switch was released. I bought a 128gb micro sd that is in my switch for $29.99 on sale. Micro SD's are regularly on sale. It is an extremely common thing people have even if they don't game. I have multiple 64gb micro sd's not currently in use. Earlier in the topic you said you need literally hundreds of dollars to expand the storage of a Switch to play Sims 4. I assume you now know how off base that is.

Not saying it wouldn't be great if the Switch had more internal storage obviously it is a misstep. I know this is an old topic but I don't get why you think that games like the Sims 4 would not come to it because of size. It is not even on the high end of game sizes these days. Sims 4 on consoles is not launching with all the DLC's on disc. So the size is not even comparable to the full PC 25gig pc size with all the expansions/addons. And you are also not considering game compression. You can't look at the pc size of a game and conclude that is what it has to be on a console. The Sims 4 on PS4/Xbox will be 12 gigs. Clearly enough for a 16 gig Switch game card most games use with no micro SD card needed. Smaller than Zelda. And way smaller than the 29 gig LA Noire Switch edition that does need an micro sd card. And besides that 12 gigs on PS4/Xbox doesn't even mean it would be 12 gigs on the Switch. It would probably be further compressed on the Switch factoring in the internal storage.

I for one would love to see a Switch version of Sims 4 that I can take with me on the go.

Doesn't the Switch have a 32GB limit?

No point releasing to a console where fans would have to spend literally hundreds of dollars to card big enough to store all the data.

The Sims used to sell the most on Nintendo, and was the Sims most popular secondary platform. But they would most likely have to create a custom version like Wii version and it's probably not worth it.

Seriously where do you get your info from? HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS on a freaking microSD card? On what planet? Also, you do realize that all my switch games come on its own card which is just like getting a hardcopy so you aren't downloading the game. You clearly don't have a switch or know how it works. The sims 4 could release with a hard copy (microSD) just like Mario, Zelda, etc did. I have barely used my 32 gigs because all my games have come on their own microSD's. Also, if you want to expand storage for saves you can literally get a 256 gig microSD from certain brands for under 50 bucks. So I have no idea where you get 100's of dollars from..............

Also, Nintendo switch does not hold a max of 64 gigs....why do you spew false info.... here is an ACTUAL source....(PS I own the switch and have a card in it that is 128 gigs......)
