Seeing as how there’s endless DLC you can purchase for The Sims 4, it’s no wonder that it can be difficult to pick which packs are the ones you want in your game. Not only are 𝔍there full expansi💦on packs and smaller stuff packs, but there are medium-sized game packs as well.
It can be tough to narrow down which ones are the best to get, so we’ve done the hard work for you. These are the best game packs to get for The Sims 4.
Best game packs for The Sims
Jungle Adventure
Everyone loves Indiana Jones, and with Jungle Adventure, your 🦄Sims can take a journey straight out of the movies. With this pack, you can travel to 🔥Selvadorada for a vacation full of thrills.
Explore dangerous temples full of traps, collect artifacts, and plenty more. Sadly, when you’re not exploring the jungle, you won’t be using this pack much, bu꧙t it’s a fun no𝐆velty to experience.
Strangerville
There’s something strange happening in Strangerville, and it’s up to your Sims to solve the mystery and save the town from the creepy possessions that are taking hold of the desert town.
Much like Jungle Adventure, once you complete the main quest, there unfortunately isn’t much to do with this pack. But you will get a livable world reminiscent of The Sims 2’s꧒ famous Strangetown൩, which makes it all worth it.
Werewolves
The most recent of the occult Sim game packs, Werewolves is exactly what it sounds like — your Sims can be the fearsome 🐼beasts of folklore.
You’ll get an ✤impressive skill tre🍸e of abilities as a werewolf, as well as the moon phases system in the game. If you’re not into occult Sims, though, this pack is not for you. At least the world of Moonwood Mill is pretty.
My Wedding Stories
Weddings in The Sims have always notoriously been a bit of a mess to put together. Sims don’t want to sit where they need to, the groom and bride will disappear at random to do push-ups and other issues. My Wedding Stories helps you out ꦍand lets you plan a gorgeous ceremony for your Sims, complete with a bridal party, cake tasting, and more.
Why is this only number seven on the list, then? This pack was completely broken upon launch. Quite literally, nothing worked as it was supposed to. Now that enough time has passed that it’s been patched to oblivion, it mostly works fine. But we can’﷽t forget its rough beginning.
Outdoor Retreat
The first game pack EA ever released, Outdoor Retreat is a bit outdated by current standards, but we’d still consider it a good one. If your Sims are dying to get back to nature,🐽 this is the pack to do it with.
Whether you prefer camping in a tent under the stars or in a rustic cabin, your Sims can take a va𝓡cation to scenic Granite Falꦺls and enjoy the great outdoors. Catch bugs, have a bonfire, or take a hike.
Realm of Magic
If you’re craving to make your Sims witches and wizards with crazy spells to cast, then look no further than Realm of Magic. Your Sims can now be spellcasters, ⛄learn magic and potions, and enjo🐲y flying off on broomsticks.
Again, if you’re not a fan of occult Sims, you won’t get too much out of this game pack. But the CAS and build items are fantastic, and spellcasters are the least likely of occult Sims to cause you trouble. If you enjoy occult gameplay, then strap in because spellcasters are one of the best. It’s even better than some of the Sims 4 cheats.
Vampires
It may have been the first of the occult game packs, but it’s still the best. Vampires gives you everything you could want for playing with blood-sucking creatures of the night, from making Nosferatu to spark🍒ling Twilight vampires.
Even if you ไdon’t care about vampires, you’ll still have some𝔍 of the best build-and-buy mode items to create creepy haunted homes with or beautiful Victorian mansions. Sure, Vlad will still show up at your door at 3 AM, but you get used to it.
Dream Home Decorator
Of all the active careers in The Sims 4, this one is the best. If you’re anything like me, you don’t care about building homes, but decorating them is your jam. That’s what Dream Home Decorator lets you do: g🀅o into other Sims’ homes and remake rooms according to your vision.
If yꦦou’re a simmer who enjoys making houses and nothing else, this pack lets you enjoy your favorite part of the game while still enjoying some live mode.
Dine Out
It’s true, this pack is still quite buggy. But it’s such a staple at this point that I almost can’t play without it. This pack lets your Sims go🔥 out to eat and even run their own💃 restaurant.
We’re all guilty of spending too much money on going out to eat, and with this game pack, your Sims can, too. It’s almost impossible to make a realistic town without at least one restaurant. Hence, Dine Out is so important.
Parenthood
If you want a game pack you’re going to use every time you play the game, then you need Parenthood. Particularly great for family and legacy p▨layers, your Sims can become better parents, instill wisdom and values in their kids, and enjoy every stage of life more.
As soon as you get Parenthood, it will become a part of your game because every Sim is affected💃 by it. While other game packs can become easy to forget over time, th🅰is isn’t one of them.
