Weighing in at slightly under 2GB download via Origin, it promises to bring a whole lot of new shenanigans your Sim can get into.
Send them off clubbing, try your hand at spinning the decks as a DJ. (When is the Sims Rock and Roll Life coming out? Because every burg needs SimmStein!) Here’s the launch trailer. Again. Just get all excited, okay? I do, however, wonder why the thing is in English.
I have to admit, I cannot wait to get home, create my swimwear-wearing art club nerd that hangs out at the local bar, with an elite area where only the crème de la crème can go drool over the masterpieces, spanning 4 generations and all created by the artsy Bredel family!
(Or check to see if that is possible. Watch out for the review coming up in a few days or so.)
To get in on the action though, you do need the Base game. Do not have it yet?
Well, now’s the time to get your mittens on it, as it is now selling with a rather decent 40% discount. Yup. R360.00 (rounded up in the name of the new minister of finance. How do you do Sir? Planning on fixing the Rand before it is worth less than a Simoleon?)
It can be bought from Origin itself, or on the web. Just click this awesome link and have your credit details ready.
Play with life. You know you want to.

Mister Prins, well done well done.
I can’t believe the price of these “expansions” these days. I mean, you’ll end up spending around 2k for The Sims at this rate if you buy some of those DLCs (not even all – I assume).
That’s insane.

Go check the price of The Sims 3 and all the expansions 😛

R300 for the base. R200 each expansion.
Wow.

Yeah, it’s still around that price, AND there’s 11 expansions, excluding the stuff packs.

It does seem daunting, to be honest. Though with each expansion, EA and Maxis does bring quite a bit to the table in terms of new stuff.

The Sims 4 still feels empty to me.
2 and 3 were so full of stuff (including cars – which I understand are not in Sims 4).
Sims 2 is still the best with that “open for business” expansion. That thing was a game changer. I owned two car dealerships, made insane amounts of money and built a ridiculous house for my sim.

Cars is a bit pointless in The Sims 4 as each venue you visit loads on its own, like the Sims 2. One of the main gripes I had with the Sims 3 is the crazy amount of time spent watching a loading screen.

And the SIMS?

No, just the one. That motha fuc*er can GITFS, because you’re not allowed swimming pools in SIMS.

You will have to wait for and purchase the Fun in Sun expansion first.

WRONG! Both of you. Sims got swimming pools. Ha ha!

I could be wrong, but this expansion seems so incredibly soulless. Does this expansion really contain R360’s worth of content? Mock the Sims 3 for all its expansions, but each addition added something new, whether it was Katy Perry, University-life, being a fireman or robots from the future (or the chance at time travel).
