Re: [FAQ] Sims 4 Console Mods and CC

@backplayingsims, this isn't completely under EA's control, as it is also up to Microsoft and Sony! 😞  I have heard that Microsoft is more open to allowing Mods/CC but that Sony is holding things up, although this just might be a rumor.  Either way, this isn't EA's decision alone!!! 🤨  So console players should talk Microsoft and Sony about it! 😉

My own experience with the console version wasn't very good I couldn't run all packs with all dlc without it crashing so adding custom content and mods would probably brick the console as much as I would love cc and mods for console I don't think it's going to happen and it's correct what puglove88 said it's Sony and Microsoft's decision.

:'C

Boring game without CC.

@PugLove888  is right, just how Madden is not Cross play ,custom content on Playstation and Xbox is not up to EA. It is up to Microsoft and Sony.

@CrayZGamerBoy , that is a good example! 💡😉

New eyes color and new hairs. And get custom content on console 

You'll have to talk to the console developers about that - it's nothing to do with EA or Custom Content Creators.

This isn’t EA’s fault. This is up to Sony and Microsoft. One, they’d have to add a file downloader into each of their systems, which I don’t think they want to do. Two, who knows how much bugginess this would cause. And three, that would mean we also have to deal with corruption and stuff that PC/Mac players have to deal with. 

I think it’s just best we don’t have it..

It is possible to implement mods for console, but they just have to do it this way:

When will you add custom content to consoles like a ps4?

Hey @GraceIsClever,

Can I please ask what game you're referring to, and what you mean by Custom Content?

Thanks 🙂

Hey @GraceIsClever I'm assuming this is related to The Sims 4 so have moved your thread there.

If it is for a different game then let us know and we can move it wherever it needs to go.

Today I read on twitter that our SimGurus, Game developers use CC and mods in The Sims 4. It's dissapointing because even the developers can feel the power on CC but console players can not. We only have some BB items, CAS pieces and that is all...

Is it really that hard to create a cc pack as Farming Simpulator or Cities Skylines has?

I have read through the stated reasons why CC and Mods will most likely not be available to the console community and I just don't buy it. It CAN be done. Other games do it. They just don't want to put that much work into it.

I really think this is plain unfair to people who pay the SAME amount of $$ for the game and new content. And since EA and The Sims depend so heavily on the modding community to fix the things they don't want to fix...it should be available to everybody!

I mean, I'd love to have access to the eyelash mod for asthetics but I really NEED to have access to the mod that FIXES Eco Living glare! I paid for that pack and have had to disable and unintall it (after trying all suggested "fixes" and absolutely ZERO response from The Sims people) because it makes the game absolutely unplayable! 

C'mon guys! You have to put the work in somewhere! Either fix your game or work to make CC and Mods work on consoles!

I totally agree with you. What is more, I totally don't understand why the conversion of existing items or mechanics is so troublesome for EA. A lot of CC/Mods creators are open to give their content for free. Unfortunately as I see, EA prefers to waist the potential of some people and let the amazing CC creators do other things. For example HeyHarrie does premade builds for TS4 and Luumia does marketing materials for the game.

If you would be smart on the consoles a not get a lot of mods I’ll say the consoles should be able to take them even possible the PS4 it still has some life in it!! An I darn well the PS5 can!!! Unless you bought them all, then it’s ur console if ur on the PS5. I’ve got the PS5 an got like 8 Sim 4 games on it an there’s like hardly any problems there’s a few but I think it’s on their end not mine… Cause lots of people have been having the same problems with what I’m having issues with now!! So I’m taking a guess your on the PS4 or one of the Xbox consoles cause I’ve never played the Sims on the PS4 nor the Xbox I dislike the Xbox so I’ve never played the Xbox but the original….

There’s a lot more than that now have ya heard anything from Ea Sports or Sony? I’m on the PS5 an only want a few mods I loved the mods on my PC it would be so much better with mods!!

facts its so friggen heartbreaking to not be able to fo simple things like birth mods, extreme violence, have more sims in a household. I just want to play the way PC players do. Without having to go out and buy a pc or rebuy all these packs on PC.
