I didn't know which one to get, so turned to YouTube and found several different Simmers had done videos reviewing all the packs. But it wasn't until I decided to try one of the expansion packs that my love for the game really took off. It wasn't until EA made Sims 4 base game free last year that I gave it a try and really enjoyed the style and gameplay of it. I was always a bit meh about it having been a big Sims 1 and 2 fan (I never attempted Sims 3). You guys will definitely see me around asking a million questions! My husband bought a Jedi game and took off from work tomorrow to play and I’m a sahm, so were having a video game date all day.I’m so glad I gave it a chance. I can’t even imagine, how this game will be when i get the other packs and PLUS mods and cc. I know this game gets alot ish for its lack of gameplay (which may get bland as I keep playing) but from what I see there is alot to work with. Im more gameplay and I had a million story ideas. It was too much, I had to get off and take a break lol. I got so giddy over so much (the calendar/holidays, not being accepted to university, apartment having rent and deposit, the thermostat). I took forever in CAS because of the added content (can’t even imagine how long ill take with CC). I’ve been playing base game for two days and today I took the plunge (my husband gifted me packs because he saw how excited I was getting)and purchased city living, seasons, university and get to work. But the small differences are what made up for it (bill calculations, simplistic CAS/building, the phone, etc). Honestly, the lack of open world/loading screens was and kinda still is my biggest issue with it. While playing, I really started getting into it. I already had the base game, so I told myself I will get acquainted with the basics and maybe dive into some packs, cc and mods when its on sale. I started watching let’s plays and man, I was not expecting so much. So a few days ago, I started researching sims 4.

I still enjoy the sims 3 but the constant crashing and lack of cc is trash.

The cartoonish look, the lack of open world… I simply was not ready for the change.īut boy, now a couple years later I have made the switch. When sims 4 came out I was super excited but could not get with it. I have been an avid sims 3 players for almost 10 years.
