My honest opinion is you shouldn't need DLC to make a game 'better'. If the core doesn't make you want to play it for about six months to a year without any DLC then it's not worth it's salt. Unlike the previous games, TS4 didn't live up to that rule of thumb to me. You will have to spend a heck of a lot of money and seven years to make it 'better'. Though it's a better core than when it was first released by honest people who complained and needed more added to base game by patches, in order to play it for longer periods of time. At this point in time there are players who feel it needs much, much more, an over haul of the traits and emotional systems, and more depth. But you will have to judge for yourself if it's worth spending over $600 and seven years to make it 'better'.
I can’t help but agree with this.
It also depends if you have played any sims games previously. I think the game is just okay. It has improved in many areas but in many ways it’s a step backwards not forwards.
