Fame brings lots of perks, like free gifts or easy promotions. Your actions will build your Sim a positive or negative reputation. Get Famous : Earn fame by posting on Simstagram, streaming, or filming, editing, and uploading videos.It also adds the 'Off the Grid' lot feature, which lowers your utility bills since the home doesn’t use electricity or running water. You can clean up beaches, catch a tan, and go swimming. Island Living : This pack gets you Sulani, a tropical paradise, plus a Conservationist career branch.The worlds of The Sims can feel a little isolated, so if you want more excitement, this is a good option-just note that there aren’t any empty lots to build on. City Living : This adds San Myshuno, a bustling metropolis complete with apartments, karaoke bars, and frequent events.Discover University adds two colleges, plus the option to earn degrees, which get Sims better jobs and higher starting pay. Discover University : This is only interesting to those who play with teenage Sims, but it does add some good clothing options and items for decorating or building your house.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. Eco Lifestyle : This expansion adds pollution.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.
