I have owned every Sims game since 2001. I was hesitant with The Sims 4 when it was first released, as I loved the Open World that the Sims 3 allowed. It was an adjustment but after awhile, I tried switching back to Sims 3 and found I actually really loved the Sims 4 more than expected. I own every expansion and pack now, and will continue to play forever. It's fun getting my own kids into the Sims now too.
