Expansion Packs offer a new way to play the game, like going with your Sim to their place of work, or taking them on vacation (while also adding a few new hairstyles, outfits, furniture items, and the like), and thus offer the clearest benefit to shelling out for them. And since you, as the player, are given dominion over their entire life, a whole neighborhoodвЂ™s life вЂ“ thereвЂ™s a magnetic draw to that which transcends preconceptions about this being a game for tweens.ДЄdditional content works like a level of detail slider, really. Using just a few character traits and the addition of context-dependent moods, it makes Sims appear unnervingly human, prone to depressive afternoons following an argument and fits of playfulness when lifeвЂ™s going their way. Without the help of any additional content, The Sims 4 is brilliant at this. And, вЂLook, SallyвЂ™s going to bed at 4PM! Classic SallyвЂ™. You place little versions of people you know in a house, watch them interact, and go, вЂHow does it knowBarbara always rattles on about her favourite writers?вЂ™. In a very real and tangible way, The Sims 4 deserves credit.Д¬entral to the seriesвЂ™ success, I think, is that trick it pulls in imitating life to a degree that ought not to be possible.

I havenвЂ™t played all the additional content because IвЂ™m not Elon Musk, but IвЂ™ve played enough of it to know that this is the most incredibly вЂ“ and bizarrely вЂ“ detailed simulator of life that has ever appeared on PC. I report back having spent over 40 hours trying to make sense of it all. Would I find a game in there that anyone could enjoy? Would I find a game at all? Or has The Sims become something else since its captivating 2000 debut? The only way to find out was to spend quite a lot of time and money on Maxis products. With these thoughts tumbling through my mind like items of gender-neutral laundry in the washer, I decided to investigate The Sims 4 through direct contact with it and the many tendrils of its Expansion Packs, Game Packs, Stuff Packs, and user-created mods. Does the male-dominated games media thus overlook its ongoing releases? Maybe itвЂ™s a gender issue: do we see The Sims as being вЂfor girlsвЂ™? I certainly remember the first Sims as being one of the first games that I heard female friends effusing about as well as male. Or perhaps itвЂ™s that the whole idea of a dollвЂ™s house simulator simply isnвЂ™t for вЂgamersвЂ™, but exists for a different audience вЂ“ either younger or way less hardcore than the sort of person who whiles away their evenings laying very still near a rock in PUBG.

We are talking about a series that literally got a piece of paid content called вЂLaundry Day StuffвЂ™ recently, so I can understand that perception.

Perhaps what excludes latter day incarnation The Sims 4 and its entourage of post-release content from grabbing the column inches in 2018 is the perception that itвЂ™s a flimsy vessel with which to sell DLC to kids. The series has sold over 175 million copies to date, after all, so it is not like The Sims doesnвЂ™t have an audience already. ThereвЂ™sвЂ¦ somethingabout the Sims that means we donвЂ™t talk about it in the game industry as much as a game this size would normally warrant. Obviously, I donвЂ™t lead with that when I meet new people, but it doesnвЂ™t hold the same embarrassment as admitting I was once superinto the Sims. A shame I would not feel if I were to broadcast the fact that I once printed out a picture of Gordon Freeman and stuck it on my bedroom door for a while вЂ“ the polygonal guardian of my boy-cave. The weird part is that I feel a pang of shame admitting that.
