The Sims™ 4

Basically good if you don't look at the bugs.

This game makes time fly. If you love a good roleplay/building game this is perfect.

Infuriating AI. Every single sim is an overexpressive extrovert with severe unmedicated ADHD.
They constantly cancel commands, even if it's neccessary for survival, in order to just stand there and talk to a stranger. And you constantly have randos showing up

Be prepared to nickle and dime for hundreds of dollars worth of partial add ons for lower quality performance, just purchase a sale version of sims 2 or 3 much better

i am appalled by the price of the dlc, I dont care if they made the game free to play I still had to pay for it, I mean seriously! $1354 that is just Inconceivable, and not even worth it in the end. yay werewolf yay dogs, howabout just accept you've made enough money off of this game and make all dlc available or at the very lest drop these outrages prices, if the base game is free, why are there dlc for 40 dollars? its not stable for anyone getting into the game, if your rich great keep it to yourself im not so its not something I can just ask for either, for crying out loud who even cares about this game that much, why am I even posting this? probably so I can tell you people to stay away from this game, give them no more money. clearly they've already got enough.

The game itself is not even on the same level of the Sims 3.

The wishes of the sims in this game are short lived and aren't feeling like an actual achievement or (depending on what wish) Having to put any work.

The Supernatural Wizard spells can all be learned within 3 days if that's all you focus on.
It just feels like a short and a rushed version of what they could make at the time.

Don't even get me started on how the sims look.
They look like someone took plasticine gave to a child and the result talks for itself.

The sims is a game that I'll visit periodically, and I likely will continue still from time to time. I don't think it's really my sort of game, but it is fun.

That being said the DLC is an issue and is just repelling tbh. It's expensive and the sheer amount of it just gives me FOMO. There's so much of the game that is just not accessible without DLC. I understand it's the business practice and all that but seriously. Look at the price of everything. Insane

I love building houses in this game (the sims themselves are also fun!) but the dlc is just way too much. As long as you're good with limited gameplay unless you spend like $1,000, it's a fun game and I'm glad they made the base game free.

Sims 4 is the perfect example of why piracy will always be morally acceptable

I don't raise families, I build houses. If you like creative design, I think you would love this game, otherwise it's OK.

I like the game a lot I'm an new simmer on pc. I just downloaded my first set of mods it wasn't too hard, I will be looking for some clothing cc soon.

Love this game. always been a fan of sims since a kid . would watch my mom play on the original xbox . would play it when she was not looking and we always some how deleted her game. but wish i would have waited for this some to be free but bought it when it came out on here an xbox. just wish add ons were a lill cheaper. but 5/5

Very entertaining, i paid for this game when it cost money and its one of the few games that i dont regret buying, i heavily enjoy the CAS feature, being able to create characters and then creating their homes aswell just makes it such a personalized experience and does not get boring.

I love the game you don't even need the packs I didn't start buying them until this year and I mostly just get the kits. Yes its buggy sometimes but usually just restarting my game fixes it.

The base game has almost no content, 2 tiny neighborhoods and that's it. They clearly want you to get all the expensive content packs. (I know it's free now, but that was not always the case. I paid for this crap.)

On top of that, it's INCREDIBLY buggy. Bugs that have been posted to the EA forums for YEARS with no solution. Things like:
- Sims get stuck in bathrooms for no reason and the only way to get them out is to sell the door to the bathroom and buy a new one
- Sims refuse to use the dining table, and eat only on couches
- Actions get randomly cancelled, even when free will is turned off
- Party event actions are simply impossible, like trying to have a sim make a toast, I've followed several different guides and the action just doesn't appear.

Go play Sims 3 it's better in every single way.

it's the fucking sims. you know what this game is about. it's a great game to chill with and excellent for escapism and story telling. you don't need my opinion on this game to play it, it's good. play it for yourself and look through the abundance of mods and fan content to expand your game experience without having to pay a cent. i say this as someone who has half the expansions.

became free after i paid 20 dollars 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅

I used to really enjoy ts4. But over time it has become more and more money hungry. Custom content is pretty nice to have to fill the void but you run the chance of your game crashing constantly or getting a virus 😂😂 I wish I bought sims 3 instead..

Not worth without the cc or mods. I hate that ea doesnt see they are not giving the game story or content worth of the price. So I would say its worth if you get dlc on sale that its and download curseforge.

What in the hell is this battle pass system for holiday content?

Hours of fun, but requires you to buy packs in order for game play to be exciting and interactive. Packs are too expensive!

The Sims is very fun to just play around with you can do what ever you want. overall very fun would recommend

The DLC is overpriced like with most EA games, but the base game is so fun.

On its own, the game is alright, decent even. DLC is overly expensive. They are always half off, but some are still not worth the $20. The best DLCs are the seasons pack, cats and dogs, and maybe city living. Mods really make the game. There are millions of CC and other creations. So, if you plan to have no storage~ and cute-looking sims, it's recommended. Do not recommend buying brand new DLC as they can break your game, so wait until a few months for them to be mostly fixed. Noted mostly, EA seems to only fix sims 4 mods so they are playable at most.

I played Sims 1 when I was like 9 or 10, and that was an addictive experience on a much smaller scale in terms of complexity. Sims 4, with a bunch of added packs, is a cornucopia of Sims experiences. It's great fun, endless things to do it feels like, but also lacks a bit of the soul some of the earlier ones had (I played a bit of S2/S3 but only faintly remember parts of the vibe). It feels very commercial, which it is, but if you're down for a casual escape into another life that is constantly being updated this fits the bill (especially keeping in mind no Sims 5 will be coming, RIP).

It's the sims. It's good at what it does. Is sims 4 the best one? No... but whatever.

Only ever buy DLCs on sale.

They're overpriced as hell.

soooooo cool you can make you're family or not. you're sim can HAVE A BABY! 5 stares.sooooooooo cool and good i love it

This game is still able to bring me joy after the years of owning it and going from ignoring it to playing it for hours on end. I've owned The sims far before it was made free and messing with the character designs has always taken up most of my game time. But you should try out the game and think about getting some of their DLCs!

I absolutely love creating new characters, or all my friends and family from irl into the game. Building houses is just as fun. Only downside is the prices of the DLC's man.

Haven't played for long enough to know if its good since i got it but i like it so far

The Sims series is the best video game series every made for replayability and time wasting aka having fun for hours without worrying about everyday struggles.
There is nothing more accessible and with all the DLC's and kits it is even better.
Sims 4 does not disappoint although it feels more realistic than Sims 3.
The graphics are amazing and the features are great.
I heard Sims 5 is multiplayer so this might be the last regular Sims and they did a good job.

Grew up playing The Sims 1,2 & 3, great games. Sadly The Sims 4 and it's DLC aren't worth it, the game has become too political.

classic you will always come back to, the add ons and mods are peak. I highly recc curseforge for safe modding/ Happy simming :D

It is my perfect cozy game when I need a warm and silly hug. It's a game that I can come back to whenever I want, start fresh whenever I want and still just enjoy it.

Pricy? Yes. The DLC is an obvious money grab. But, fuck it, I enjoy it and it makes me happy. And that's what matters.

is fun to watch the world around you burn while you sit on a bench petting a stray cat.

After 700 hours of playing this game, I'm officially giving up on it. The game has become buggy beyond belief. EA updates it every 2 weeks, making you have to redownload your mods if you use them (which you need in order to make the game more fun and even playable at times with all the bugs and glitches). With every patch comes more bugs and problems, every new DLC introduces more game-breaking problems, and now they've started with months long events that are buggy and literally unplayable. If you don't want to play them, a massive box takes up the side of your screen anyway because there is no way to exit out of it. Once one event ends after weeks and weeks, EA forces another update where they start another buggy and unplayable event. It is truly incredibly annoying. Not to mention the whole money-grabbing aspect of this whole game. It's a very expensive game because you need DLC to make it moderately fun, but even with all the DLCs (I have most of them), the game feels empty. Save your money. Trust me. This game will give you nothing more than frustration and broken saves.

I bought this on sale on its own, and I thought it was pretty neat for the time I played it. However, the required third-party launcher (EA's Origin) kicked me out.

I have a good time playing it, and I am always find new things to do even after playing for more than 1800 hours. Great game. Love it.

it is unacceptable a 7 year old game does not have autosave but does have 1000+ USD of expansions tbh.

i hate the sims 4 so fucking much. I literally never go out of my way to write reviews for anything but this is the shittiest thing ive ever played and I wasted 361 hours to this waste of effort on my PC alone (i dont want to talk about how long I played on console). The only way you can enjoy the sims, even if you have every pack known to man, is to download mods. this is because the sims is such a shitty mess by itself. I hate you EA and i hate steam as well for having the audacity to sell this fucking scam to the public.

Worst installment of the franchise. Disgustingly cash-grabby and offers very little gameplay in comparison to it's predecessors. Don't waste your money and just play the Sims 3 or Sims 2 instead!

I have owned this game for years and for some reason every single expansion packs that I have PURCHASED and downloaded are all completely gone. This is the second time it has happened, I repurchased the first time thinking it was my fault but now its happening again. Be very careful when you purchase anything extra. They might just force you to buy them all again.

I love this game WITH mods and cheats. I hate that EA locks all of the good features behind literally thousand plus dollars in paywalls while also having the game broken half the time. Still, I've played this game so long I think I just have stockholm syndrome and love it out of a weird brain addiction. Regardless, love playing with my dolls highly recommend WITH CHEATS AND MODS

Sims 4 lets me have an escape from reality when I'm bored or stressed! I enjoy making characters and doing interactive tasks

I have been playing since The Sims from 2000 right after its release and I have never been this much disappointed so far. The Sims 4 is not playable without the mods to fix crucial errors and it never will be since the problem is within the source code itself. Yet the only thing EA is busy with is to make more sauce on top of this disaster. They should bring back all the previous Sims' remakes like Lara Croft did f.e. if they don't want to lose the market to their upcoming competitors. The game is just so buggy even the events cannot be done without losing sanity, and mods break the events too - so you must be ready to get mad at all the stupid and clunky simulation of your sims or game not even giving you the event points, triggers, starts etc. besides several other issues. Can't recommend it to any new players; even their complaints are annoying like you got the game for free and still crying around while there are ppl who paid over thousands for this crap...

i have spent 140 hours on this game, means it's a good one
(i only had the base game, i've never get the extension pack or the other DLCs because it was expensive for me, and i did enjoy the base game very much)

It's fun but you basically have to buy a ton of overpriced expansions to get even a somewhat comparable experience to Sims 3.

The amount of dlcs you need to get to have the same amount of content from sims 2 is impressive. This is the final boss of capitalism.

I USED to love this game but ever since infants were introduced its been hell, why is my parent constantly leaving the child to fend for itself? or to go check on the toddler that the father is TAKING CARE OF. it is incredibly upsetting to see a game i spent so so so so much money on not be A} PLAYABLE or B} have the game fight me for the parent to "check infant" what is it checking? you pick the baby up and put it back down and dont even change the dang things diaper. im trying to play a legacy with two infants and a toddler and it has been nearly impossible and downright NOT fun. i cant even focus on trying to teach the children things with how laggy and glitchy this game has been. for the love of jesus christ EA i am begging you to just try and fix your game.
