PLEASE HELP IM NEW TO SIMS 4
Hi I got a bunch of questions im new to Sims 4. I wanted to get a tablet for myself - it's called and Acer Iconia One 10 Tablet. I was wondering if I'm able to play Sims 4 on it. I don't have a gamin...
Forum Discussion
I'll grab a few more questions...
5) What is an expansion pack and are there any that is free? Or isnt so costly?
I'm not aware of any that are free except the mobile version. The game is much more involved and better than the mobile version, though. I addressed expansion packs in the other post you made, if you would please reference that.
6) I know this question is going to sound stupid but can I download The Sims Seasons expansion pack and use that to play the game or do I need to actually download The Sims game and then I could download the expansion pack later?
That is not a stupid question. None of the expansion packs will be usable without the base game ("The Sims 4"). For instance, I initially purchased "The Sims 4" to see what it was like (I had played 1-3 years ago), and to confirm whether or not I would use it much. When I found I enjoyed it a lot, I gradually added expansion packs, which is fun to do gradually as the 'story'/play unfolds and grows gradually doing it that way. Also, they occasionally put various expansions on sale, so that is when I add them.
7) what's the difference between Sims FreePlay and Sims mobile?
Sims mobile is REALLY simplified and constrained compared to playing on a computer or console, at least when I tried it several years ago. Not sure about Sims FreePlay.
8) what's the difference between Sims 3 and Sims 4?
That would be better addressed by others since I did not play my Sims 3 for long. I found it to have less personality than the previous versions and for some reason it did not jive with me. But... when I got Sims 4 I loved it and have been playing it a lot. I think it helps a lot that I have a computer that can handle the game this time. 🙂 Sorry, not a useful comparison since I have no specifics, but I'm sure someone will explain this better.
Hope that helps a bit. If you get the game I hope we will hear from you again! 🙂
If you can't afford anything else than a tablet, you might wanna give Sims Mobile a look.
@crinrictI did a bit more research and I stumbled onto this laptop that costs less than the Acer Iconia One 10 Tablet.
Its called a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 14" Laptop. Do u think i am able to use that for Sims 4 or should i just get Sims Mobile (is it posible to get sims mobile for that laptop?)
This is the link of where im gonna get the laptop. Im planning on getting it at bestbuy;
- This is way to underpowered. Cheap laptops are usually not made for gaming.
@SheriGR Ooo okay yeahh i just read your other post thank you so much for explaining to me about tha
What expansion pack is the best and is there like an expansion pack that linda bundles some together (idk if that is possible? 😮😮)

(Update note: Sorry @PugLove888 I didn't see your awesome replies before I posted this - darn refresh - but I think that it mostly compliments rather than overlaps the info you shared? I apologize for any repeated information, as you stated great info that would need no clarification!)
I'm sorry... as I said, I have had limited exposure to the mobile/free version, and I'm not sure which expansions are available for it and what they include.IF you were to get The Sims 4 for a laptop (one that is capable of running it), and you are asking which expansion I would recommend to get first (before other expansions, as you have to get the base game The Sims 4 before you can 'expand' it with an expansion pack, per my previous note...), this is my order/opinion on that:
Very hard to choose. For me, if I had to add one at a time again for the ones I have I would go this order:
#1 ― Seasons Very cool, lots of features added, and it made gardening and flower-arranging for a career interesting and a nice combination for my retail stores in 'Get To Work'. If you don't have 'get to Work', you can still work in the career and build the skill and sell arrangements - which can be pricy with certain high quality flowers from your garden.) I've had a lot of fun with the features of this pack... and it is WAY cool to see it snow and cover their world...) There are a lot of challenging parts that are a cool switch-up in your worlds.
#2 ― Get To Work (I would combine with the 'Dine Out' pack so you can do restaurants also...) This pack allows you to build, purchase and run retail stores, and I use it a lot. ( You can also own & run restaurants if you add the 'Dine Out' pack. The restaurants are less profitable to my Sims for the time and effort spent, but are really a great challenge and fun. ) The stores (retail) are my favorite if used to sell their wares. You get a pretty nice profit if you sell high quality skilled items your Sims make (or grow). My Sim households who do this as a large household working and running the store as a group are both millionaires now. They do work hard and rotate managing/cooking for the store, etc., but it is a fun, great challenge. Just scale back to make it less work. Still... potential for great money!
#3 ― City Living I enjoy this 'world' as an option for visiting or living in. I've always had my Sims in one of the penthouses or the 'Old Salt House' so they are not throwing away the rent money and because you avoid a lot of the hassles that apparently come with their apartment life.
#4 ― Cats & Dogs I just started using my 'Cats & Dogs' world and features... I'm enjoying it, but the dogs can be a bit of a handful, especially at first — a bit like having a toddler. The dogs I have are adorable, but somewhat needy. I highly recommend a doggie door and fenced in yard. They love swimming in the pool, too! There is also an annoying bug currently where I cannot hire a gardener, which is a near deal-breaker since I have a (valuable) greenhouse and want backup for if my Sims. I added 'Patchy' for help, though. (Scarecrow — I think from the Seasons pack, and if you are his friend and chat with him he helps in the garden, and even picks up in the house some). It is pretty cool, though, if you love pets &/or cuteness.
#5 ― Get Together As far as I'm aware of, I don't use these features as much as I thought I would... but I may be using more than I realize. I tend to make very involved and large households that are already a handful, and external social gathering options are of less interest to me, but that is my game style. If you love social gatherings that doo not include your own or other created households, I would move it up on the list above 'City Living'. Some of my favorite 'build-mode' items came with this.Oh, and yes, they do offer some as bundles. Check the website, Amazon, etc., for those.
Enjoy your new virtual adventures! 🙂
@SheriGR @PugLove888 I just got ny laptop today and its nice! (its kinda laggy a bit so im a little unsure about it but i got 30days before the return policy expires so ill give it a few more days to test it out).
I went on origins and tried the demo and it was fun and i wanted to play more :eahigh_file: 😢 💔
I tried to download the Sims Mobile Game but it turned out to be a bust. I searched online on how to download it. Apperently you need a program called "BlueStacks" in order to play Andriod apps on ur PC. I downloaded that (it took forever omg 😢 😞
After getting it installed it asked me to download the Sims Mobile and it turned out to be an apk file. The video told me to take that file and drag it into BlueStacks. I did what it asked and well it crashed 4 times. It asked to either reboot the engine or to restart my computer and ive tried both ways 2 times.
I dont know how else to do this. This probably sounds really stupid but I even tried to go on rhe google play store and see but apperently my device wont work. It was looking for a mobile device not PCs. I tried looking for some sort of google play for PCs but no luck.
Do you know how to get that game onto a PC? 🤒
Ooo those expansion packs seem so interesting :eahigh_file: 😃 I wish i can be able to play them ☹️ Maybe one day tho ;-; As for now i can only play Sims Mobile..well if i can actually get it on my PC 😮😮
