Glad to hear it. Have fun with your new toy and new sim(s)! :eahigh_file: 😃
Given that you mentioned that you want to add a sim(s) to the household and purchase expansion(s)/pack(s), I thought I would add a couple more 'tips' that I found helpful in my games:
- If you add any sims to your household and they ARE going to be related to your current sim you can add them in the CA area to the household and create the relationship (spouse, child, etc.) while creating the sim. Tip: make sure to create the relationship while creating the sim. You cannot go back in later and create the relationship.

https://guides.gamepressure.com/thesims4/guide.asp?ID=26714 - If you add any sims to your household and they ARE NOT going to be related to your current sim, I would recommend making the other sim as their own household and saving them as a separate household. That way they get $20,000. Then go back into the households and move the new sim into your current sim's household. And save. You now gained $20,000 in the household funds. Very helpful when starting out. You could do this for each adult and teen. Children cannot be created as their own household - they need a an adult. (Though there are kids and pets alone in the gallery, so I suppose it can be done with a cheat.)

- If you would like to get some opinions on recommended EPs, this is one of the forum posts on this subject:

There are non-traditional ways to play too.
After awhile you may be more interested in what you want your sims to do for next few hours of your life. Not just sleeping eating working and going to the bathroom. You can use cheats codes to make your sim happy so you can play what you want to play with them.
Or maybe you want your sim to have a better house, bed, and the biggest TV. You can also use cheat codes to give your sim simoleons or free real estate.
You can play as natural or as fantastical as you want. That is the beauty of the Sims. It is your world... you choice what to do, who to be, where to go.
These three cheats I’ve mentioned are all accomplished by first hitting control - c at the same time. A white rectangle appears at the top of the screen. Type in: testingcheats on. Then: motherlode will give you $50,000 at a pop. The code to buy any house you want with out money is: freerealestate on
After turning on testingcheats you can shift click any sim and then choose: cheat need, make happy to fill all of their needs. Which I find handy to do before work after they have spent all night doing something fun like a date or party at a venue. As the saying goes for aspirations, “this is what your sims wants to do, but you don’t have to.” Lol just have fun however you choose to play.
