My wife asked about the sims. She has an m1 MacBook Air and I see there are 98 dlc options.

Do I need certain one or can she do free to play. Or is an older version better?

What do I need to know?

Sims 3 is generally agreed to be the best by the people talk to, but my favourite is sims 2… (probably cause nostalgia :3)

Anyhow 4 is free and runs on mac from what I can see, so… just go with that x3… I personally wouldn’t pay for the DLC and just mod it, but I dunno how macs are in terms of mods

Thanks! When I saw free to play I worried that it was bad.

The sims 4 launched at full price, mind you, and later got made free for… some anniversary I believe :3… as a full price game it definitely got a fair bit of slack cause overall it had less content than the previous games, and people didn’t like needing DLC for what they considered base features, but… free is free ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Fwiw I still found 4 a lot of fun, it has enough unique features and the loading screens were much shorter than previous games. But I also didn’t play with dlc, so that probably helped.

2 is my favorite but I do agree with others that 3 is better. It has so much customization built in and the more open world is more fun to play in
