Will consoles eventually have.....?

Is it possible one day that consoles eventually have same day release dates as PC? Or will it always be a month later after original release? I understand that packs have to be approved by Microsoft and Sony but maybe it will be possible one day that packs can be released a little earlier. Any thoughts?
  • I quiet like that there is a bit of a gap between the two as it allows me to decide whether I think the packs are worth it or not before I buy them without the temptation of actually having a product to purchase. I can be a bit of an impulse purchaser so if the option isn’t there then I can spend some time on the forum and watching YouTube content to decide whether it’s something I want to pay full price for.
    I get how it’s frustrating though for others who just want to jump straight in. It’s annoying though that the bugs that PC simmers find in the new packs aren’t addressed though before they are released on console!

    At least a gallery that console players can share their households and builds with other console players.


    It's going to be crossed platforms meaning you can download from pc or consoles.

    I doubt it. The fact the DLC always drops with bugs, and we never seem to get real notice of what’s coming anymore (ROM being the exception), tells me they are working pretty much up to deadline. And the “console team” can’t work on converting it until they have a finished game/DLC to convert, so...?


    Actually that’s not entirely true. Console started getting release dates from Island living trailer onwards.

    Maybe and maybe not depending on how many teams they have, they appear to focus on PC initially with good reason and then console last.
  • That's what they announced on maxis monthly, it must be possible, perhaps we will catch with the newest update and my first pet either January or February then after that same day releases packs and updates @Specia1sim
  • I guess I'd like moderate modding. Nothing too extreme, but wouldn't mind it limited to CAS items. I see so many incredibly talented folks online with their PC created materials and I'm so envious of not only their talent but the finished work. I liked how the mods for Fallout 4 and Skyrim turned out overall
