Sims 4 Base Game vs Packs
What you can do for $0, and which pack types actually change the loop.
Base game
Create, build, careers, toddlers, and several worlds. It is a complete toy.
Expansion vs stuff
Expansions add systems (seasons, university). Game packs add a venue. Stuff packs are objects. Buy the system you wanted.
Gallery
Download lots, then strip CC you do not have. Missing meshes look like puddles.
Storytelling
Rotational play, legacy challenges, and rags-to-riches are community rules, not menus. Pick one.
