And when it comes to putting out add-on content for the Sims 4, EA certainly doesn't disappoint. EA put a huge focus on this - optimizing the base game to make it run as smoothly as possible, with add-on content in mind. The base game frequently goes on sale (it's free on EA Play), so for big fans of the game, nearly all of their money will go toward purchasing DLC packs. The base game Sims 4 experience is notably lacking in things to do.
