Is Base Game Only Worth It?
So I've noticed that the Sims 4 base/base deluxe is at a very attractive price of around $4-$6+ because of the winter sale; however, all the expansion and stuff packs are still a bit pricey... So, as...

I'd also say that the base is worth $5. It's pretty light, but it should have enough content for hours of gameplay.
Some notes:
* If you play with families/generations, the toddler update 2 years ago (it's already been 2 years :0) really adds a lot to the game. People describe it as a free game pack, and they're not wrong.
* To be fair, TS4 has the most instruments in its base game (3 of them). All the previous games either had a piano or a guitar only.
* TS4 also has a bunch of little activities like the rocket science skill, secret lots, stand up comedy, and mischief interactions. They had to make up for the lack of features during launch somehow.
* They recently added a stylist career to the base game, which adds a bit more gameplay for free.
* Community lots in the base game are pretty dull IMO. There's not much to do in them. Even the "night club" in Willow Creek contains just a bar, a piano, and a microphone.
* Multitasking isn't perfect, but it's a welcome addition. Sims can talk to each other while doing different activities, which is nice.
