No console release? I’d certainly pay $20 for that The Sims game (on GCN) for my NSW/PS5.
Afaik there were only a handful of different versions for consoles back in the day. These versions were all designed for PC, UI and peripherals. They'd need to go that extra mile to adapt all of that.
I'm aware half the consoles can do M+K, but I know most would prefer using gamepad.
This seems like a very rushed release, a port for modern consoles would have done quite well, though I also imagine they don't want to compete with the current Sims and its tons of dlc/microtransactions.
yeah you’re prolly spot on with that, unfortunately. Good thing i can just emulate on my Steam Deck (since I already have a purchased copy of The Sims, I don’t see this as piracy, as much as I see it as making my OG copy BC b/c EA refuses to do it themselves).
Did they forget why the sims is called the sims ? Such collection with simcity 1, 2000, 3000, 4 (at least that), it might be good too. Plus there is one version of the first simcity in 1995, EA, you know what to do.
