It's fun but not as essential as the expansion I recommend, which adds basic weather.
Your Sim can improve their eco-footprint, vote, recycle, upcycle, and live in a shipping container. It's all pretty tempting, but you don't need all that downloadable content (DLC) for The Sims 4. That's as much as a brand-new iPhone, a laptop, or the beginnings of a great savings account. With nine Expansion Packs, eight Game Packs, and 17 Stuff Packs available, it can cost you as much as $700 to get all the extra things. The base game is sometimes as cheap as $5, and $40 at most. See, The Sims 4 is awesome, but there's a catch. With thousands of hours logged, I've yet to tire of the game-largely thanks to the huge library of add-ons.
In it, I can live any kind of life, and if I'm ever tight on cash, a simple motherlode cheat code (or three) remedies the issue. You can get your dream job and become a rocket scientist, make friends (or enemies), and even cheat your way to riches. In these games, you design a person, build them a house, and then take care of their every need. The Sims 4 has helped me cope with quarantine, but I've been a fan of the series since I was young.
