I'm loving the gameplay loop, and the ability to assign villagers to most of the tasks helps me not feel stressed about the farming/money making stuff for the most part. I still like to visit my fields and do some stuff on my own, but yea, I'm just loving the feel of the game and the variety of things to do!
Just curious about the state of the upgrade pack. I heard its 12gb when you upgrade the s1 version and also 12gb when you want to play the s2 version. Apparently a bug or something.
Does the 12gb patch remain stored on console if you have the s2 card?

Yeah, it does. A couple of months ago I tested whether Marvelous or Nintendo had actually fixed this issue, so I deleted the 12 GB download which was downloaded when I first put the cartridge in the console in June, then put the cartridge back in... But nothing had been fixed, if I wanted to get the actual content updates to the game, again I had to download the whole 12 GB package, even though most of that data is already on the cartridge. It doesn't seem Marvelous has been in any hurry to try to fix the problem either, because the exact same thing happened later with the Switch 2 physical version of The Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, which forced a 5 GB download (for a game whose total size is 8 GB) even though the cartridge was in.
The issue seems to be related to games where the Switch 2 cartridge also has the Switch 1 version and can be used in Switch 1, since the same thing also happened with the Switch 2 version of Hades II, which does a 5 GB update for a 10 GB game. So it seems that the Switch 2 reads the Switch 1 data from the cartridge but for some reason cannot read the Switch 2 upgrade data, forcing a huge download even though the same data is already on the cartridge. Whereas with Cyberpunk 2077, which doesn't have a Switch 1 version, there been no such massive download, the updates have only included data that's not on the cartridge.
@Polvasti oh, didn't known the issue was so widespread
Reason I was asking, I can get the s1 physical plus upgrade for cheaper than the s2 version atm.
And since I am bound to download the 12gb patch anyway I might as well go the s1 route.
First world problems...
@SuperEndriu That's interesting, how large was the update for Prime 4? The only Nintendo-published physical games I've bought for the Switch 2 are Bananza and Age of Imprisonment, which obviously aren't S2 editions since they don't work on the original Switch, so I didn't know even Nintendo's own games suffer from the same issue.
@Polvasti 2.1 gb
Its labelled as the s2 edition upgrade.
So the only upside of a s2 edition is id u sell the game u sell it with the upgrade. If u ourchase the upgrade digitally - the upgrade will be yours forever.
@SuperEndriu Well, at least the size of the upgrade download isn't two thirds of the entire game, as it is with Azuma. But it's still disappointing. I think this issue deserves it's own separate thread, so I'm gonna start one.
@SuperEndriu
I own two S2/S1 edition carts: Azuma and Grand Bazaar.
I declined to download the patch for both when I first inserted the cartridge with my auto updates disabled, and I was able to play the S2 versions of those games straight from the cart without any downloading.
When you first inserted the Prime 4 cartridge, did you try to decline the prompt to download while your auto updates were disabled?
