SinceThe Sims 4’s release in 2014, it’s swiftly become a staple life sim, but there’s still a lot it can learn from the many games that have followed it over the years.

Withover 70 DLCs for the game,The Sims 4has shown that it can create a much more fleshed out experience on the whole. Whether it be through adding the For Rent pack that sees players becoming landlords and owning property, or the Horse Ranch pack that includes animals and buildings too, the experience feels much more lifelike on the whole.An array of other incredible life-sims have also showcased elements thatThe Sims 4lacked at launch, giving a great base for the nextThe Simsgame to shine if all these details are considered.
