The core of the sims is in there somewhere with the fun art style and improved build tools, but it's buried under the stingiest DLC hackjobbing ever seen and oversimplified lackluster gameplay compared to what came before it.

If you want a better version of this, play TS2. Even an up-to-date pirate of this game isn't as good as the others, so don't bother unless you really feel curious.
