I haven't had the message for a couple of days but instead have had the crashing at the same point. I would usually get it while loading a lot my Sim is travelling to. Now it just crashes. Loading screens are much slower too. I'm looking at the series X now instead, even though they are once again impossible to find in stock at trusted retailers here.
Again I don't know if I'm throwing good money after bad but I've invested in all these packs and want to be able to play the game and add future content. Plus since through player feedback on here, finding out that graphics aren't optimised for Series S...I wish I'd known that before I got one and I spent weeks doing my research! But it's looking like the same thing as with my Xbox one S. It's fine, it's full of games at it's new home but the sheer size of all my Sims packs was too much. Someone at home keeps saying it's the memory size but I've got loads of memory, Microsoft told me it's not the memory either. It's processing power and graphics capabilities. I see info about what specs PCs need to run the Sims but not that same info for console users unless I'm looking in the wrong place. But I did see an article by a well known Simmer who said it really needs pro level consoles with all (or nearly all in my case) downloaded content. I would recommend the series S to anyone, to be clear. It was fine until I went over 32 packs. I really like my console so I'm very disappointed. But there's not enough engagement from the team on console specific issues in my opinion.
I agree that us console gamers don’t seem to get the same engagement compared to PC users. It’s a shame. I currently play on both an Xbox One and an Xbox One S, depending which room of my house I’m in. We plan on getting a couple of Xbox Series X’s once they’re more readily available (whenever that will be…) The game seems to run ok on both our machines, other than fairly extended loading times (4-5 minutes on initial startup, 2 minutes loading up my save file, and another 3-4 minutes loading the actual lot. Patience is put to the test daily, lol) no matter what lot I’m playing. I too have nearly all the packs. I’ve only been playing since September but I’ve spent over 1000 hours on it so far, (I’m addicted, I know) For the amount of both time and money I’ve sunk into the game I’d really like to see better response from the devs on console related issues. Some issues I’ve seen had have a known fix on PC, but console users remain SOL sometimes.
