The Sims 4 complete collection is currently $750, is it worth the price?

I'm glad you have your priorities straight! I've had many beer-fueled TS4 episodes....

As I said the "other" option is missing, so my answer is Yes, then.

I basically use it to build things that I can upload to the Gallery for other people to play with, so... no. If I enjoyed all the features of the game as much as I enjoy building, it might be, but that wasn't the question.

No.

It is more than that especially if people have been purchasing it from the beginning. Over $800 now. For any gamer, I would recommend purchasing a new gaming computer over buying the full collection because buying a cheap computer and having games be worth than it makes me wonder if every electronic they own is maxed out in memory like their computers are. Sims 4 is not light in memory especially with all the DLC installed and pictures on top of that, so unless you are willing to invest with a 64 bit gaming computer, no purchasing the complete collection won't be worth it and will end up overclocking your system and breaking it over time. Also interesting GPs and SPs are labeled as microcontent in EA Desktop now which is fitting to market them like that.

N.. Oh..

Yes, that is a lot of content for the game. I purchased the packs over time and not all at once. I feel like I've definitley been getting my money's worth of play out of them and will continue to do so over time.

Hmmm....that explains a few things. lol

Image of the cost from two years ago and how I calculate the price too taking it in sections like that and adding it up:

i think it depends on if the game is worth it to someone. i think its to be expected over years of content. but to get it all at once would be really hard so getting a few packs here and there is the better option. also sells happen and getting them on sell is an option. but i think a lot of us have spent that much over 6 years.

EPs: 9 X $40 = $360
GPs: 9 X $20 = $180
SPs: 17 X $10 = $170

So total for DLC is $710 plus $40 for the base game now is $750.

But initially the base game was $50 when it came out, so it is $760 if purchasing back from 2014. Then if you buy the collector's edition that was priced at $100.55, that makes a total of $800.55, so yep just over $800. https://simsvip.com/2014/01/06/sims-4-collectors-edition-exclusive-game-uk/

For those interested in how much memory it takes so far it is 45GB: https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/h8fzza/sims_4_all_dlc_download_size/

Base game alone is 16.2GB.

My documents folder for the Sims 4 alone is at 8.36 GB while Sims 3 is at 3.21 GB.
