So glad I pirate Sims 4 instead of paying.

Any games that have 20 DLC packs that end up totalling $200-300 can eat my shit and hair. I am absolutely pirating it.

From what I could find out online, as of September 2023 The Sims 4 with all DLC costs $1124.29 USD

HOLY SHIT

it's also ten years old, which is kinda nuts.

Yo wtf, that's got to be more than 3, and here I thought 3 was absurd with the stuff packs and Katy Perry tie-ins

I don't want to suck paradox off as some of the dlc are completely ridiculous but the major expansions usually represent years of support and are mostly marketed at people who have played hundreds of hours.

Like EU4 came out 10 years ago and still gets major updates. If you're not playing in China you don't need or want the mandate of heaven. You buy it when you've played without it, or if you are experienced and want full complexity in a new area.

Skip the nonsense unit portraits and music and other scummy dlc but.
