Which Packs Should I Buy For The Sims 4? (Ultimate Guide With Timestamps)

[@NordicNjal]

You know most of these packs and games suck, beacuase they were busy pushing the AGENDA and not coding games or fixing bugs.

[@vivlodia]

thank you❤❤

[@ShilohJohnson]

I feel like Cats and Dogs and Seasons should just be in base game. They're just really important and it's so annoying that Seasons is an Expansion pack rather than a Game pack! It is pretty small.

[@tr4sh.doll_]

@KenyaGirly okay but it's not normal, season should be in the base for a life simulator game, we are charged 40$ for just basic things

[@demckenzie7030]

@kenyagirly stop tryna argue w his opinion… he literally just saying if you have a life simulation game, pets and weather change should come with it… just because they did it in the past doesn’t make it right if that’s your argument. Not every got 80 bucks to drop for a virtual dog and some rain

[@ImpocZsK]

@KenyaGirly you literally got charged for weather 💀

[@Clara41760]

Its make sense

[@chloebutler8438]

it makes sense to me that seasons is an expansion considering how broadly it affects gameplay, but c&d should be a game pack imo

[@rickbolturd]

Honestly, I feel it’s hard to know what pack to get and what pack to not get. I feel as if packs will meet my expectations and then I get left in the dust. I 100% with most of the packs you suggested.

[@Zionara_.]

true i didn’t learn what packs to get until i bought them all on console and later switched to PC 😭

[@skywalker6648]

The game play also never matches what you see in the promotional trailers for the packs, either.

[@Nervous101]

@DB it literally is, i agree

[@flashpointfps7619]

City living is one of the best packs.

[@k_kitty_roadto300subscribers]

Yeah like it is one of the hardest decisions😭 I wanna buy either Snowy Escape or Cottage living and I am having a HARD time. PLEASE HELPPPP IDK WHAT TO GETTT

[@roeliethegoat]

Everytime I see Spa Day, I'm reminded about the fact we had saunas, massages, yoga, zen gardens, steam baths and tai-chi in the Sims 2 Bon Voyage. There was so much more stuff in the Sims 2. Stuff you have to buy separately now..

[@jaytayGO]

Sims 2 was awesome. I miss burgelers

[@lilredstrawberriez]

@@jaytayGO I remember burgerlers! I don't remember if I knew of them at the time but all my sims were asleep one night and i got so shocked when a burgeler broke in and stole our stuff- I paused the game to wake them up and call the police 😭

[@Kekschenistie]

Not to mention that Bon Voyage came with this and MUCH MUCH MORE. like three whole worlds to travel to and every world had their own vibe and items.

[@suripanta1924]

The way I miss sims 2 ❤

[@PouchyTheCanadianAlpaca]

They basically downgraded the games (the first were better than the 4th one (except graphics ofc))

[@No-ps2zf]

Regarding Parenthood: character values ​​have some more important effects which actually weigh on the gameplay. Especially when it comes to responsibility: Responsible Sims get far more promotions at work, while irresponsible Sims find it essentially impossible to progress in their careers. I got a sim max three character values for the aspiration of the mother and he reached the top of his carreer really fast. Meanwhile, I had an irresponsible sim with all the right skills max out, all the daily tasks done and she never got past level two of her carreer (she even got demoted twice). So, yeah, they influence gameplay if you actually manage to get the extra traits

[@MandalaBunnyhome]

The thing they sucks about packs (and they probably plan it this way) is there are usually a few good things about each pack but never enough to justify the price and not enough for just one pack to make up for the lack of gameplay.

[@blueghost4769]

This!! I almost feel like i can't afford to have fun with this game anymore.

[@Scarylyn14]

The first thing I always tell people is to wait for packs to go on sale, too! They have sales like every other month and none of the content is worth full price in my opinion 😅 I recently got a pet bundle with Cats and Dogs AND My First Pet Stuff for $20 and I JUMPED at the chance because I’ll never spend $40 on a pack 😂 I didn’t even bother with base game until I saw it was on sale for $5 like 4-5 years ago 😂

[@Aleals7777]

[@SyntheticGoth]

I feel like Dream Home Decorator and My Wedding Stories were meant to be stuff packs, but they probably released them as game packs to tack on a higher price point due to them losing money during the pandemic. It would explain why around this time stuff packs just became non-existent. Those were supposed to be it. If they released them both as SP's they probably wouldn't have flopped as hard considering they wouldn't have had to focus too much on gameplay. That's where they fell short - trying to fit such little content into a bigger title.

[@Kiahhhhhhhh]

I believe they actually gained a lot of money during the pandemic. During lockdown is when most people who never even considered playing The Sims bought the game out of sheer boredom.

[@gabriellevesque2185]

Isn't that how the Whole Sims 4 business model is? Since 2014 when the game came out, it was a joke compared to the previous games. It's all about selling DLCs with the least amount of work. Have you seen the latest update? It's a bigger joke, they are not fixing big game issues anymore, they are complacent because there is no competition.

[@SyntheticGoth]

@@gabriellevesque2185 That hits the nail on the head. Their DLC model has increasingly become more lax because they know they're the only ones. I'm holding out for Paralives but I want a game company in the same league as EA to challenge them so they can feel the heat. 🔥

[@RubyBlueUwU]

I 100% believe that dream home decorator was intended to be a stuff pack, and it was decided at some point that they could tack on a few more badly thought out features and hike up the price.

[@SyntheticGoth]

@@RubyBlueUwU Exactly. 🙌🏻

[@Ray_Vun]

when i got the sims4 they were running a sale where you could literally get it for free, all you had to do was make an origin account and it'd let you download the game completely free. absolutely worth it. the base game is way too empty for how much it costs full price

[@MarianaRocha-qz3by]

i also got it during that sale, so worth it!

[@empressionistic6926]

I also got it on sale. I only ever get packs when they're on sale, but it is annoying how expensive they are for lackluster quality.

[@accidrainn]

I bought it when it came out 😭 Now, it's free 🤣

[@Rae_is_Bae]

I just downloaded cracked version with every pack for free 🫣

[@sunshinefine1886]

The most frustrating thing about the sims is that they showcase all these cool animations that are fun looking and almost feels like a movie trailer but when you get into the game and the stuff packs it never actually works or looks that way. 😩 if they’d just put a fraction of effort into making the actual game more like the trailers we’d be so much happier players.

[@justmeinflorida33542]

This goes for a lot of games, so disappointing!

[@PouchyTheCanadianAlpaca]

And not making us pay 40$ for damn seasons which should be free !

[@ki4815]

A tip for simmers, you can sign up for EA's playtests to tests their games & you can get between 1 to 3 packs for free. That is how I've gotten a lot of my sims 4 games. Just so you know sometimes you may not always get picked. Also you get the chance to honestly review EA's games.

[@xenia9499]

Where can you sign up for this?

[@s4ntt344]

How do you sign up for that?

[@vieravrem6810]

The only thing that bothers me about the sims 4 these days is what I have always said, it's *emotionally* shallow. I don't even think the stuff is that bad. Sims are still weird and arbitrary, they don't how to make meaningful decisions, that has always been the main problem for me along with the glitchiness so those just go hand in hand really. Unlike most simmers apparently I actually like most of the fashion and build buy, not everything but it still maybe an unpopular opinion. oh well I guess.

[@Renikee]

Sims in Sims 4 really are weird, and not in a good way. And to me, they look way too cheerful all the time, their emotions/movements are way too energetic and overexaggerated

[@augusto7681]

When I heard the annoucent of sims 4 and the emotion thing I thought it would be really complex to play, but your sim just need to drink a glass of water and they become happy lol. Their wishes are random and sometimes clash with with the personality trait. Like a lonely sim that want to have a romantic interaction. Unrelated but one of my sims enter the pool then got disgusted because of chlorine, 2 seconds later he jumped in the pool again. I try to ignore these conflicts and just play the parts that are fun.

[@skywalker6648]

I wish sims were more autonomous like how they are portrayed in videos. Making them more personalized with traits, preferences, and whims doesn't seem to help enough with that.

[@xXMushfaceXx]

You perfectly explained my main issue aswell. I’m always saying I miss memories from sims 2. This is why.

[@issyfranklin149]

[@D3Hearts]

Sulani has so many cool buildings and huts that I wish they had made playable. It's such a tease to see a cute little island hut in the game and you can't live in it.

[@skywalker6648]

Also, there is a balcony in Eco-lifestyle that is completely unusable and doesn't make sense that it doesn't work since it's a big part of what makes the apartment appealing.

[@rawmilk905]

@@skywalker6648 If you use the T.O.O.L. mod you should be able to put some stuff out there they can use.

[@ninaplayssims]

True I wish u could also go underwater. I mean there is the feature of buying an underwater camera and u get pictures from underwater lol. 😂

[@modellodime]

You can clearly see that Get to Work and Get together were the first packs released: one has a great gameplay but no world (4 lots💀 not even a city), CAS and Build only related to the careers, the other has veeeery big and realistic world (especially the center) but basically no gameplay (the clubs are useful but still not that much). I think they were testing out what the community would appreciate more, an expansion pack with a lot of gameplay or an expansion pack that would focus on the building mode :)

Btwwwww one little thing that I really love about Snowy Escape is that all the kids and teens wear uniforms to school ik it's very tiny but I just love it cause I also have school uniforms

[@taegwaupp7474]

I would say the first pack to get is CITY LIVING !!! It’s extremely fun and always have new things to do , it’s very interesting!

[@ninaplayssims]

Agree!!!!! City living and cottage living came with sooo much. And of the supernaturals I think realm of magic was the most well done supernatural. 👏 ❤

[@Caelumization]

@@ninaplayssims for me werewolfs was the best supernatural pack in gameplay even if my favorites are the vampires

[@LUCKY-lf2jv]

@@ninaplayssimsi think it was the werewolves tbh because it connects the other 2 packs through lore and realm of magic is so hard and boring to level up compared to werewolves and vampires

[@ninaplayssims]

Eh, just personal preference to me, friends 🙂 . I love the familiars and I rly like traveling to the realm and the fantasy feel and I like that you can ride a mop instead of a broom lol and I kinda prefer it when it takes longer to level up cuz it just gives me more to do. Us as simmers all have such different play styles and I think every pack is good honestly. I do LOOOOOVE vampires AND werewolves. ❣️❣️ I have all the packs. Even all the kits lol 😅🤣 its a real addiction I swear. But yeah I mean I just really grew up loving Harry Potter so may be why I'm in love with realm of magic. But that's when I wanna play all supernatural. If it's a regular human Sim family I may have a vampire in the household or something but I only have spellcasters in a household if I'm gonna play out like a Harry Potter type of story like a teen runaway who discovers she has powers lol. Still though I'd say 89.999% of the time I play *mostly* human sims and I love cottage living and city living cuz they came with so so much! And also growing together I like what it added to the game like generations for sims 3 🩷🩷🩷

[@ninaplayssims]

@Caelumization but yeah vampires are my favorites to make in CAS alwayssssss lol. The werewolves drive me nuts till they can control themselves lol but I do like the world and the tunnels and stuff. (I love all things sims

[@Juwlz]

Finally finishing this video. I highly highly recommend the Moschino pack if you are a family Sims player who loves taking family photos and would like to be able to do that better. The pack comes with these marks you put on the floor and you can have your Sims stand on the marks to pose together for photos, even toddlers, even guests, it's great, I take so many photos of families now. You get a tripod and a fancy camera and that's literally the only thing worthwhile in the entire pack BUT if you can get it on sale and you want to fill your Sims house with family photos and cute photos of your toddlers, totally worth it

[@tomilang]

Your explanation of Eco Lifestyle has just made me realise something horrible - this pack is pretty much The Sims 3 Into the Future pack... except the future is now. We've already reached that bleak and disgusting vs. pure and pristine works options, and it's all up to how we treat our world that decides which environment we have. Evergreen Harbour is present day Oasis Landing :'D

[@westanimesims]

What is interesting is the Build/Buy item count decreases over the years in each expansion pack. CAS on the other hand depends on the theme itself.

[@skywalker6648]

Just like lots and then EA allows for players to use debug builds like huge structures. But where can you use them? It's very limited space available for them.

[@westanimesims]

@@skywalker6648 The space that they use as debug buildings and fake houses could be used as editable lots. That is true to almost every world in Sims 4

[@skywalker6648]

@@westanimesims No, I think you misunderstood me. My complaint as that although they have given us more builds or items to use for building via debug (such as skyscrapers, background buildings, they have failed to add more lots to use them in. Thus, it defeats the purpose of having access to them in debug. Especially, as they are making lots smaller or offering less with each pack.

[@marckharin]

I honestly disagree with high school years. Although there are some bugs (which makes sense because it’s new) I honestly haven’t had that much fun for a while with a new pack. I expected much less than what they gave us. They gave us graduation, prom, career day, active school, social media, new skills, new activities and much more. If it looks like your type of thing try it out for yourself because people have different expectations and preferences

[@slbsp3475]

This is the best Sims pack review I’ve watched out of all of them. It’s detailed but also brief and to the point. I’m getting a new computer soon so I’m finally able to play the Sims on a decent setup and this was very helpful to decide which packs I should focus on first. Thank you for this!!

[@AndSoWeLaughed]

I don’t like being positive about sims 4 but a great thing about discover university is you can do the classes from home. I had a sim who took in her niece and nephew after their grandmother died (the parents are deadbeats and grandma took them in after raising the aunt well) and she’s an assistant TA who take uni credit classes online to become a full teacher. Very nice. The thing I hate about snowy escape is that it’s poorly designed. The lifestyles are random and never get used. To get to places you have to travel to a lot and walk here which is stupid. It could’ve been a 5star pack but it’s between 3.5 and 4 for me.

[@calibribody6776]

I love Realm of Magic. Really the only problem I have with the pack is that it can make your sim TOO powerful. When you discover potions and get the free sample, NEVER use them. Just put them on a table and copypasto them to make copies. Infinite rejuvenation potions + plentiful needs. Stay the same age and no need to actually take care of your sim. It's almost 'legal' cheating and I love it.

[@eier5472]

An absolute must with Island Living is the mod which renames Sulani to its proper name, Salami

[@theawkwardcatlady]

Why is this so funny to me?

[@miirami5761]

The developers clearly have fun doing supernatural stuff because you can do so many funny and weird things and the fun they had making it shows in the gameplay. That‘s why they are so great.

[@belle8732]

this video is still so helpful. i've just found your channel a few days ago and i'm obsessed! i love your reviews and you're so funny and entertaining to watch. i laughed so hard when you described celebrities as having "weird alien furniture" lollll

[@Czekoladowy_zajaczek]

41:12 I think that there's more than meets the eye. It's true that bb mode is very popular. But at the same time, there are several house renovation programs which are very popular as well. A lot of these programs came from USA. Also there are some games about renovating houses like house flipper (correct me if i am wrong but I haven't played the game yet). So considering all the stuff I mentioned above, it looks like ea wanted to be a part of this trend.

[@jipplejoople721]

great video, agree with almost everything you said! I would like to add that for me (I have the full dlc), there's also small specific things that just break from certain packs. The tea brewer for example, for me it queues up 3+ times to drink tea autonomously whenever a sim walks past the tea brewer. Like, for no reason. Even if they're dying and all of their motives are low, they still want to drink tea rather than go to the bathroom. It's gotten to the point where I had to remove the tea brewer since it was messing up actions i put in queue. Also the bowling alley doesn't seem to work at all for me. I wanted my sims to play a game together at a bowling alley, I was expecting them to take max 3 or 4 in game hours but no, after 8 in game hours they were still not done with 1 measly game!! I'm just putting this out here so people that were thinking of buying the packs with these specific things know what they might get into. Of course this could be just my game, but I play with barely any mods installed (only MCCC which shouldn't cause problems, I always keep it updated and its a very well created mod). Edit: currently playing and i also forgot to add that the Highschool Years update i believe broke the dust kit. All my sims houses do NOT build up any dust whatsoever, rendering the vacuums useless. I can only use them as decoration which really bummed me out.

[@SunnyCress]

City living, discover university, cats and dogs, realm of magic and werewolves are probably the only ones I will get that I don’t already have, I know a lot of people say university is lacking but I mostly play with teen- young adult sims without families and I think I’d like it.

This is an excellent almost totally unbiased and fair but with the right about of salt thorough overview, lol. Well done! I almost wish I was back in time when I didn't own every single thing. The excitement of researching which one to chose $ and then finally enjoying it in game.. For Dine Out - I tend to always build my restaurants to have some little tiny room for the owner to live in and stay on the lot 24/7. It won't work with kids because when they go to/fro school it'll send you back to the home lot. Same thing for any other adult sims who have traditional jobs. But you can have a couple that tag team welcoming/mgmt stuff and cleaning dishes when the waiters don't do their damn jobs.

[@MyUnsecretIdentity]

Great guide! I've been playing the base game only on console for a couple of months now and this video is just what I've been looking for.

This is a great video. It helps me to see what packs to get for my friends as gifts. I think you should do one of this type around Christmas and say what packs for different types of players (family player, romantic, occult lover, entrepreneurial business enthusiast) and budget (expansion, game pack, stuff pack or bundle)

[@nevermore5792]

What I'd absolutely love is a pack for historical fashion and build stuff. Because it's really annoying that even though there is stuff like that, it's scattered throughout so many different packs. The only pack that really works well in that sense is vampires, but there is stuff like the historical costumes in get famous, and it would simply be amazing if there was a gameplay pack or something like that just for historical stuff.

about journey to batuu: it being a collab with disney offers so many possibilities. a disney franchise collab could have given us a disney land/theme park type vacation world with a bunch of rides, maybe a new job, a bunch of cas and build buy objects, for example toys, halloween costumes, clothing inspired by disney franchises,… granted, it wouldnt necessarily be a pack that i would buy bc im not a fan of themeparks but i feel like many people would be into it and while being a capitalistic disney collab it would still be the sims

[@ems9851]

Late comment but just wanted to say how much I love your videos and thanks for your honest reviews of Sims content. You’re one of my go to Sims content creators because of your honest opinions. Got to say it took me a long while to realise how buggy the game was because I’m one of those players who usually only uses occult style gameplay so from my perspective I always felt the Sims was doing an amazing job with vampires, werewolves and spell-casters who felt much more in-depth than they had been before. I feel bad for those family players who want a proper life sim game and have such disappointing content with things like my wedding stories being such a car crash. It does feel like the Sims team currently have a bit of a bias toward that more occult gameplay.

Great video! I have so much to say to many of these packs but I am not able to organise this into a decent post. I LOVE the green living, hippie lifestyles and holistic lifestyle with Wellness (spa day), herbalism (outdoors), Green Living (eco lifestyle), handwashing laundry for my hippies (Laundry day), mindful parenting (parenthood), Mindfulness and lifestyles (Snowy Escape) and off grid living (Cottage Living). I hardly play occult packs, I don't give a hoot about weddings allthough the wedding cakes are cool and I love the Tiny Living build/buy and Nifty Knitting because I'm still a creative, boho, hippy handcraft type of girl. Again, great video, reminding me of so many cool things in the game.

I think it's kinda funny the sims base games makes you have an outfit for Cold and Hot weather but the weather never changes unless they added that because of the seasons pack I just wish out of everything whenever they make Sims 5 the different seasons would be part of the base game they still could make seasons a stuff pack for Sims 5 that has different items and clothing for each season but we all know EA will never do that because I think every Sims game hade the seasons pack in it and they won't just start making it part of the base game even if everyone would love it

What kills me about some of the recent packs is my wanting aspects of a pack, but refusing to buy it because it's fucking broken. I would LOVE the world and CAS from wedding stories, but I can get weddings to work as they are now. Why would I replace the wedding process with something that doesn't work? I like the idea of high school and would always love more CAS for teens and young adults, but you don't really do much IN school, and the "events" are kind of.. off. Teens calling adults and asking them to prom? Even if they've never interacted? No. It just.. y'all. I will say though!.. my favorite "doesn't always work" game addition is butlers. I've had beyond helpful butlers who made the house run smoothly, butlers who I forgot were in my house, and one particular butler that wanted to do nothing but make "juice" beverages.

As someone who is in university, I don't want to pay $50 to pay to experience the stress in my escapism game.

The dream decorated is best with it's objects. It's great for it's modern furnitures.

I like eco living because I love the gritty dirty look that it brings. I just hate the haze industrial areas have.

[@candypandas23]

I really honestly appreciate you making a video doing all the sims 4 games. I love the sims 3 game but unfortunately I can not play it well on my laptop any more even though I have a newer one built for gaming, because of the bugs and lagienes for it. I have been very anxious and nervous about getting the sims 4 because of it being so broken up and also expensive on top of that. This really helped me decide which games were even worth playing from the ones I liked in the series. Also I have heard that the game play is better on steam, so if you had a lot of issues using origin like I did, it may work a little better on steam.

Thank you for taking the time to review all of this, well done!

'Every Sims world has a TORY area' HAHAHAHA LOVE IT

[@Uchiha.watashi]

What I don’t get in the Get Famous pack is why isn’t there a job to become an artist?? Not only actors and actresses are famous, it doesn’t make sense, one of the most famous people are singers and bands/groups, I wish we had the ability to become an artist in the game and make a band or group like kpop groups etc, that would add much more gameplay to get famous, it’s only fun to get famous one time 💀💀 I also wish we could actually play as the dogs and cats in the sims… why did they even removed that feature 😑

[@Fnordathoth]

Very good video, very well thought out and quite enjoyable but I have my own answer. "Which packs should I buy for Sims 4" None until they fix the game.

[@Manterok]

I don't ever use maxis clothes or hair, because they look like shit lol, so I never buy a pack for clothes or items, or hairstyles. I usually get them for gameplay features. I've been really debating on getting movie hangout and bowling night, because I think it would be cool to build a movie theatre that actually plays movies, and a bowling alley, because I like bowling, and I like the vibe of bowling alleys. I just think it would be cool to have something else for my Sims to do. Give them a reason to get out of the house, and hang out with their friends.

[@jor-blo]

Thanks for your effort! We also want an ultimate guide with your personal funny opinions :D

[@sasasavage5047]

I really like Get Famous because I turned my obsession w/ CAS into a career using mods. I also really like Dine Out now that I have Carl's mod, which makes it actually work......Sims is such a scam when you think about the fact mods are the only thing making it fun.

[@haruh.1443]

You post so many high quality videos, so frequently, how do we deserve you 😭😭😭

[@tinapatterson9234]

I have a LOT of packs. I have absolutely NO kits. Some packs I bought just for the CAS or BB items and have never really played them. I just realized, while watching this video, that I have ALL of the stuff packs. Then it dawned on me. The reason why I have all of the stuff packs was because I used them to help me build bundles so that I could get Expansion and Game packs for a cheaper price. There are packs I have no desire in owning. Wedding Stories, Journey to Batuu, Eco Living, Snowy Escape and Werewolves (well, to be honest... I MAY get Werewolves in the future). I am disappointed that High School Years is so glitchy because I would really like to have this one, but as much as it has changed my gameplay by just simply existing I am not eager to have the full effect of the rest of the glitches. Thank you so much for your content and all that you do to help us with the game. Your sense of humor and honesty is wonderful and what keeps me coming back to your channel for more and more of it. You put a lot of work into keeping us entertained and informed and it is appreciated.

[@Veevs.]

This is the best video I was very confused with what pack to buy but now I know which one thanks so much

[@goated3285]

I agree with your list, definitely if your like me & switching over to pc after buying all the pack on console 🤧🥹buy them on sale only. My must haves for major changes to base game are: Get to work, city living, dining out, seasons, get together, cottage living, HSY, parenthood, discover university, get famous, eco living, Strangerville, spa day, dream home decorator, jungle aventures, movie hangout, vintage glamour stuff, bowling night, fitness stuff, laundry day, tiny living stuff, nifty knitting stuff, moschino stuff, bust the dusk & little campers kit.

[@colorama91]

Thank you! I bet this was a lot of work!

[@Art-st1yi]

I really love your videos. They’re so calming and I find you funny. You’re really entertaining :)

[@privateauditor562]

Was just looking at individual pack reviews to figure out which one to get next (I have a lot of them so I have to be more choosy now lol) and this video was perfect!

[@madelinejohnson7257]

discovery university stressed me outtttt literally i stopped attempting degrees almost immediately. i get the desire for accuracy, but it's still a game. even as an irl college student i feel like i have more time than these poor sims!!

[@Scarletttt___]

the sims pack are on sale rn! Expansion packs are $20, game packs are $14, and the stuff packs are $7 :)

[@alexajones2331]

I’m here cause the packs are on sale!!🎉

[@oddieshow]

Happy with that format from you! Can listen to you all day and all night! I’m glad you came up with the sims podcast. It is a really good idea. RIGHT?

[@bobbuilder9143]

Was about to buy a pack last night got on this morning and now it's 30% off, glad I waited lol

[@indiciaobscure]

Thank for this! But I disagree you can’t have a lot of fun with the base game. It depends how important cosmetics are to you and your playstyle. I do a lot of rags to riches, mooching, getting townies pregnant and breaking up marriages and it works fine for me. Eventually you’ll want to get packs but I’d say there’s at least 100 hours with of content to start

[@angelant96]

Agreed. I don’t think people are wrong when they say that there’s a lot of nothingness in the base game, BUT once you get yourself a few good mods, the whole thing changes. I’m reaching 100 hours of playtime without packs, even though I’m now gonna buy a few since they’re on sale

[@321hackertime5]

Bro I just pirated most of the dlcs I stopped giving ea money after cottage living 😭😭 Great video btw I love your channel so far

[@Emil_Stoltz]

I know I'm extremely biased when I say this but: Werewolves is the best Sims 4 Pack. Not just the best Game Pack, but the best PACK. Again, I'm fully aware I am very biased because I absolutely freaking love werewolves and Werewolves was the whole reason I got Sims 4

[@Dervraka]

My advice would be to wait until Sims 4 and all the expansions are included in a Steam Sale (which happens pretty often, like every couple months). Usually there are a couple "value pack" options that comes with the base game and several of the major expansions for some incredibly low price (like $20 for everything, as opposed to $100+ off sale). Then all the other expansions and various packs are usually marked down from 50% to 70% off base price, so you can pick and choose which ones you want.

[@warmtonedboi3251]

I just got the base game for $5 and been messing around for a few days playing with different mods and already really bored with it 😀 I wish that I saved more money to get sims 3 on steam instead lmao

[@Poefeathyr]

My faves are Strangerville, Selvadorada, Vampires, Get to Work, City Living, Paranormal Stuff and Werewolves

[@kk0shhh_]

omg my comfort creator is feeding me
