You also have the opportunity to open a vet clinic, no experience needed from you or your Sim, and help distressed pet parents, whose babies have come down with silly illnesses like Winterfest fever.

You can dress cats and dogs alike with collars, hats, shirts, even dresses and costumes. Each pet gets their own set of three traits, which determines whether they’re affectionate or distant, obedient or mischievous, smart or…not so much. Whether your Sim adopts a pet or you make one (or five) specifically for your household, these buddies are so much fun to play with. There are dozens upon dozens of breeds of both cats and dogs to choose from, even a couple of wildcard options such as a fox and a raccoon. If you are, though, you’re in for a treat. If you aren’t much of a pet person, this likely won’t appeal to you. So if you want to purchase something to add to the base game - though it’s still fun and versatile on its own - without breaking the bank, consider this list of my top ten packs! Although there are frequent sales for all platforms, there are also over thirty packs to choose from, and the total definitely adds up. There are stuff packs, game packs, and expansion packs - the first are $10 each, the second $20 each, and the last $40 each, in US dollars. The focus today is on The Sims 4, which has three pack tiers, and each one adds something new - the larger the pack, the more content it brings to the table. Each main game in the franchise has additional content available for purchase, called packs. Each game stands alone, each full of infinite possibilities for any style of gameplay.īut wait, there’s more. Whether you’ve played since The Sims 1, only dabbled in the Freeplay app, or discovered The Sims 4 through YouTube last week, there’s nothing stopping you no need to play through the series to understand what’s happening. The newest significant addition to the franchise is The Sims 4, released on PC and Mac in 2014, then on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2017. You can make their lives as mundane or as messy as you desire, and really, you can do anything you want. Each instalment has gained more traction, and there have been several other games, such as The Sims Medieval and The Sims Freeplay.įor those unfamiliar, The Sims is a life simulation game that allows you to create a character and a life for them, and you essentially play god. Ever since the first titular game released in 2000, it’s been wildly popular. The Sims is a franchise that needs no introduction.
