This game has more DLCs than Zeus has Illegitimate children
One step forward, $4.99 steps back. The Sims 4 is the update that The Sims 3 needed, with the Sims and artstyle getting a well-needed graphical modernization. Unfortunately, after all of the gameplay features introduced and mastered throughout the series, The Sims 4 has eagerly taken them away to sell them back to you one more time. The game is incredibly barebones without DLC, but if you decide to go down that route, there is usually at least one DLC that will interest you as a Sims player. If you've gotten sick of the aged graphics of The Sims 3 and want a more modern take on the series, the base game is currently free-to-play, but your experience will be limited until you open up the wallet.
Been keeping my eye on The Sims 4 since it released, partly because I do play it for a week straight every couple of months and also partly because EA seems to want to run with this one forever.
When this game was released it was as bare bones as games can get. It came off the back of The Sims 3, which had big and bold ideas that weren't executed properly. To say that I wasn't disappointed with what was shipped out, would definitely be a lie. They never fixed or modified those ideas in The Sim 3 and also cut a lot of things back, giving us not even a skeleton but more like a single left toe bone in comparison. It was absolutely NOTHING like it is today and that sucked ass.
The cutting of all those large features and furniture options did however open up the door for better simulation gameplay, which is why I play the Sims. I've never been interested in the interior designing; only the life simulation aspect. The addition of different emotions benefiting certain aspects of gameplay is a nice feature, and Sims being able to multi-task should be a basic function moving forward. However, I do wholeheartedly agree that removing items to later sell them for more money is an atrocious practice from EA. Remember though, The Sims series has been doing this since its inception and EA has always been like this.
The previous games also has $2 bajillion dollar DLC and almost never goes on sale because they're older. There are definitely some packs I think people should get if they want the most bang for their buck (City Living, Seasons, Growing Together), but there is no reason to purchase the entire library unless you just simply want everything you could possibly have. This game has been out for years and naturally has an ass ton of DLC because of it, and it'll be the same for The Sims 5, which I don't see coming anytime soon.
This game is a much more pleasant game now with all the added free updates and the inclusion of some mods/CC. Most of the packs I've bought were in bundle discounts, but I haven't had a Sims binge since the Star Wars pack. I really just use the basic UI and Master Controller mods that make the game run better when it sometimes falters, easy emotion management, and adds better story progression for my neighbors.
This game is more accessible on lesser hardware and no amount of sending hate to the developers for anything is going to make you less salty about this game. The price of the packs and how much gets put into them are decisions made by EA, not the developers. Within the last two years, they have added so much content that has been requested by fans who think making a game is the easiest job ever. They were getting so much unwarranted hate thrown at them around the Island Living era, it really put me off of the series for while.
I don't think it's better than The Sims 2, the GOAT, but I'm glad it looks better and runs better than The Sims 3 at it's basic gameplay mechanics. There's different ways to get chaotic, which I love, and I prefer the cartoonish style of the Sims as opposed to the more realistic looking ones.
I would love nothing more than to see a potential Sims 5 that mixes the greatest features of each game into one, but we'll have to see. That would be quite a beefy game, but it would be a great one.

i literally can't stop my sim from dancing to carly rae jepsen singing in simlish he is just like me fr
Enjoyment - 5/10

If you need a fix of Sims in your life, this will do the trick, but at that point you might as well go to church to wash away your sins. The PlayStation 4 version ran like a old motor struggling to get into third gear. Maybe this is the sign from God to get a Honda Civic. Waiting for the Joyous Church pack.

como el 3 pero mas completo, se ve mejor y tiene 1000 cosas para hacer, eso si, sin dlc es un poco meh, aun asi not bad
the dlc prices still make me PEEVED but i enjoy losing like a week of my life every year to this game and then forgetting about it for the other 11 and a half months
you SHOULD pirate all the dlcs and play it intensely for 1 month every year or two
whenever i play sims 4 i think damn sims 3 was a lot better than this (still fun)
they dared answer what if Sims 2 was not as good
The best of the sims games, structure wise, held back by there being barely anything to do in the base game besides have a family, go up the work promotion ladder, and build a house.
Customization is very limited in house building with several items only having one option or just not being there,e.g. game consoles, several skills only being possible on the computer item like writing, etc.
Also if you want any things to do be prepared to buy the 8000 dlcs.
7/10

Horrible game from a horrible company that unfortunately is very fun to me. There’s so many different ways you can play it (ex. I have a friend who uses to make large families that continue for generations while I use it as a glorified dress up game) which makes it so easy to make your own fun. The way the dlc is sold for this game is insane and wouldn’t fly if it wasn't for the thousands of people who make the game work making fixes/mods/cc for free.
Very good game, but way too buggy and dlc-dependant. Still THE doll house simulator
Sims 4? That's the least best Sims game. I'll take it anyway though
It's the sims. You make characters, and control them. Make them fall in love, get married, eventually divorced, they get a juice problem and then they drown in the pool, because you closed it in with walls. All in a days work. Recommended.
I have over 80 hours on this and yet I don't really feel like I've played it. Sometimes in an intense rage I will load the game up and build a house, make some sims, and then turn it off and do it again a few months later. This is a cute game but it doesn't really have much substance to it, there are a lot of things to see but little depth.
I would have rated it higher if it weren‘t for EA‘s outrageous focus on overpriced DLC content where some "new" features should have been in base-game from the beginning.
great game for the adhd brain
I "like" this game, and binge it as much as the sims 3, but I do not recommend anyone play it compared to the sims 3. The sims 3 feels better gameplay and soul wise in every way. The lack of Open world and still no create a style fucking 10 years after this game comes out makes this a downgrade in every way. Every cool addition the game adds like multitasking, emotions, the building system and even the mountains of DLC means fucking nothing when the game is STILL FUCKING BROKEN. If it wasn't for the incredible mod community I would've dropped this game long ago. Such a waste of potential and an unreal level of greed.
Pirate This game and all its dlc
I would give this game five stars, but the other two stars are locked behind a paywall.
I like this game! I would play it to help further design the story of my OC's and the way they live. I unfortunately spent a lot of money to get some of the DLCS (AT LEAST OVER TIME) and it does give the game a lot more content, if not bloats it. Mods are a thing and they help bloat up your doll house experience some more. I generally love how expressive the sims are and how customizable this game is and seems to be the only game of its kind (apart from the upcoming paralives). Looking back at the older Sims games does feel disappointing though, with how much more this game honestly could have been.
This is one of the few games to fulfil easily the most disgusting, depraved, lustful fetish I have. Seeing a happy family grow up and become a dynasty of wonderful people. That and the fact that there is a furry race change mod, and a boob size increase mod too, those are nice, I guess.
Do you know those reviews where it says the reviewer played 500+ hours but wouldn't recommend it to a friend? That's me with the Sims 4.
this game is so much yet nothing at the same time, cc literally carries this game, that says a lot about the current state of it, but what should we expect from ea
every few years i return to this game, spend two to three days on it and then don't touch it again for the next few years. it would've been nice if the base game got more content, instead of dozens of expansion packs that cost even more than the base game
i have spent an unholy amount of money on this game
i love making people and then not playing this game
Bomboş lan bu oyun, içi bomboş, hiçbir şey koymamışlar oyunun içine, lan oyunu yapmayı unutmuşsunuz lan, lan oyun nerede?
