Gameplay depends on the user’s play style. Unlike the expansion and game packs, these additions offer new build items and Create a Sim (CAS) items rather than new gameplay functions.
There are also additional add-ons called Stuff Packs and Kits. There are 13 expansion packs, with the latest being Growing Together, and 12 game packs (add-ons you can purchase for more gameplay). In 2014, The Sims 4 was released for purchase and in 2022, the base game was released for free download. You can create families, build homes, and complete various day-to-day activities such as sleep, eating, working, etc. The Sims is a single-player interactive life-simulation game that gives you the power to create and control your own Sims character.
Since then, there have been four instalments in the series and various spin-offs and mobile versions of the game.
Created by Electronic Arts and developed by Maxis, The Sims was released in 2000.
