TL;DR - Buy on discount, install NRaas mods, enjoy. DLC tips below.



Friends recommended Sims 3 over 4 and I'm very happy with the purchase. Bought the game and a few handpicked DLC when it was all on super sale. The price of this DLC is outrageous. That's the biggest con about the game (get it, con). Anyway I also kept getting game crashes until I installed a few of the essential (they really are) mods from NRaas. After that the game runs smooth enough on the smaller maps that I can play multi generations on one save with no crashes. There's enough to do that I doubt I'll ever run out. Xmas will prolly hit by then and I'll just pick up another DLC. If you like playing god or exploring crazy scenarios in a sandbox this is one of the best games to do it in (*cough after mods *cough).



The DLC I currently play with and consider essential are: Seasons, Generations, & Pets. They honestly should be part of the base game but whatevs.



I also bought Late Night and like it a lot, but i wouldn't go calling it essential, I'd say any DLC beyond the 3 listed above just depends on your play style. What do you like doing most in the game, there's probably a DLC to enhance that.
