Just get The Sims 3 instead. The Sims 4 is VERY glitchy, extremely difficult to play and figure things out, the maps suck and you can't edit them like you can in 3, furthermore, with all the glitches and parts of the game that simply don't work, you'll get extremely frustrated trying to play.
The Sims 3 is much better designed and user friendly. I regret spending $1000 on The Sims 4 with several expansion packs. They really let me down.
I'm giving it two stars instead of one because there are new and different interactions that are neat, but I've put weeks into playing The Sims 4 and I have to shut it off due to frustration all the time.
EA has been going down hill for years, but I stuck with The Sims because it is a favorite of mine, well, not anymore. I think they finally blew it. I certainly will not give them a dime anymore.
