Played this because of my girlfriend, to be clear there is no actual story behind this game. Its literally a simulation game where you create a character or sim and you create your own story. Gameplay, its very simple create a house and live a life that you've always wished for. FYI, to enjoy the whole game you have to buy every single DLC EA has to offer, and if you are a broke university student like me, there is always the DLC update crack thingy and its not bad since its very compatible with your legit copy of the game since its also free to play. Sims 4 is an enjoyable game but destroyed by the dozens of DLCs that you have to buy before you can enjoy the full game.
