Whether it’s playing with the pre-made families or making some avatars of your own, The Sims 4 allows gamers to construct homes, people, and storylines in this popular life simulation game. Though The Sims 4 does suffer from the unfortunate drawback of having exclusive content behind paywalls, the original game still contains enough gameplay to give users the freedom to follow whatever ideas they have. Whether it's decorating houses, designing buildings, crafting intricate stories about their avatars, or collecting hidden content, the fluidity of the game allows for complete and total freedom.
The Sims 4 is a virtual playground which allows users to play out different scenarios, but the most impressive feature of the game is its build mode. A stable internet connection allows users to connect with each other and share designs. It's simple to learn and designing homes in the game has been a favourite means of mine to relax since its predecessor The Sims 3.
Despite some somewhat suggestive gameplay features, The Sims 4 is a relatively safe game to recommend for youth as young as 12.
