Product: The Sims 4
Platform: Sony Playstation 5
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time I play (100%)
What is your current game version number? 2.11
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All packs (everything not just EPs)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game on PS5 with everything installed for at least 1 hour.
What happens when the bug occurs? A loading screen appears with "We're adjusting your graphics settings so you can continue to play the Sims 4", goes back to the gameplay with noticeably worse graphics on build/buy items (in gameplay and build/buy).
What do you expect to see? Nothing, I don't want to see it come up unless I enable it myself, and if it must appear for any back end reason, that I have the ability to adjust it back to the original settings.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
User Story: As a Sims 4 console user who plays on a PlayStation5; I want to adjust my own graphic settings; AND not be forced to have lesser quality detailing in game; so that I can enjoy my game without experiencing frustration.
Additional: I can see this issue has been opened/resolved for four years - it clearly isn't, unless "its console, we can't do anything about it," which, if it is i'm sorry but that is a **bleep** excuse. I should be able to adjust my graphics on any game I play on console. The Sims4 is the only game I have owned on PlayStation (both 4 and 5) which doesn't allow me to do this.
For a game I've spent well over $1,000 on, I expect this as a base requirement. The game is very clearly targeted for PC users, so I understand consoles are probably on the back foot when you guys are working through your backlog. All I can ask is you all take a minute to consider console sometimes and fix UX/UI issues like this. It seems small but things like this make me get so frustrated during game play that I will stop playing in the save I'm in for months at a time because why would I waste my time with it if it looks like **bleep** and I can't do anything about it.
