Top 5 Must-Have The Sims 4 Game Packs

EA recently announced they have no plans to give up on The Sims 4; instead, they will continue creating more content for the game. This means we can expect more expansion packs and game packs, which will add even more content to the fun. In this article, we will take a look at the top 5 best TS4 game packs that every simmer should get for better gameplay.

• Top 5 Must-Have The Sims 4 Expansion Packs

What Are TS4 Game Packs?

Game packs for The Sims 4 are similar to expansion packs, but they contain less content. EA describes them as "medium-sized," as their content isn’t purely cosmetic, but it doesn’t drastically change the gameplay either. However, some TS4 game packs have a huge influence on the overall experience. Let’s get into it.

5. TS4 Werewolves

Alpha or Lone Wolf? EA introduced wolf packs with this addition to the game, along with lots of cool grunge content. Now, of course, a lot can be said about the way the werewolves look and how they seem to be furry-inspired, but let’s not get into that. It’s a pack that can’t get higher than 5th place for sure.

4. TS4 Dine Out

Dine Out lets your sims enjoy a meal at a restaurant. It doesn’t sound like much, but it has a lot to do with how realistic it makes the gameplay. Dinner dates or celebrations—it’s all fun, although a little buggy at times, which is a huge issue (ordering and eating can sometimes take hours). You can also run your own restaurant, create the menu, and set uniforms and prices. 

3. TS4 Vampires

If you don’t have this game pack, you’re missing out on some of the most iconic sims in the game. The gothic architecture and decor are good enough reasons to buy TS4 Vampires. There’s a lot to explore when it comes to these occult beings.

2. TS4 Realm of Magic

Spellcasters are a fun addition to any The Sims game. It seems like this pack was heavily influenced by Harry Potter, and we love it. There’s a lot to explore, learn, and see. The spellcaster world is beautiful and very well made (although the neighborhood itself is lacking). Magic always makes things more fun—whether you’re using spells to make dinner or potions to get your sim in a good mood.

1. TS4 Parenthood

This game pack adds the “Generations” type of gameplay to TS4. It comes with the parenting skill and many activities for your younger sims. It’s a sweet, feel-good addition you definitely need in your Sims game to get more depth from your families. A must-have for generational players and probably one of the most important additions to the game, right next to Seasons and Pets.

Dishonorable Mentions

Usually, in this part of the article, we pay homage to the good packs that didn’t make it on the list. This time, we will talk about which ones are not worth the money. Journey to Batuu and Strangerville are obvious cash grabs, trying to profit from Star Wars and Stranger Things. They’re messy and boring, not adding anything to your gameplay beyond the small storyline included in these TS4 game packs.

That was our list of Sims 4 game packs every simmer needs to have in their TS4 game. We hope your next playthrough is fun and exciting! Dag-Dag!
