9 Things The Sims 4 Has Ruined

The Sims 4 has made a first. Not in a good way, but in a horrific cash-grabbing way. The packs have been notoriously lacking but equally expensive as previous ones - but the nail in the coffin for this issue was My First Pet's Stuff. An expansion for a pre-existing expansion? It was a new low. What was even worse is that this pack and similarly the Toddler Stuff Pack are amongst the best selling. According to the Steam page, if you were to buy all 38 DLC available for The Sims 4, it would set you back £693.63 - 20x more than the base game! Currently, the DLC for The Sims 3's 19 DLC comes to £341.81. Whilst it is still quite a chunk of change, the DLC was also fully fleshed out and adds substantial amounts of gameplay.

Considering that the mod community have often fixed the issues the community have asked for without monetary reimbursement, the fact that all of the DLC packs are often lacking or selling built-in features back to us is appalling. Even the mainstays like University, Seasons and Cats and Dogs were severely cut down in terms of content and gameplay additions - hence the My First Pet's Stuff Pack to fill it out. Considering how much money EA have asked for over the course of The Sims 4's era, you'd think the game would have reached the same height of the previous games.
