After taking a long break from Sims 3, I decided to give Sims 4 a chance. I bought the Sims 4 Digital Deluxe/Seasons combo, Cats & Dogs, Parenthood, Tiny Living, and the free Holiday Celebration download. I also have a few Digital Deluxe extras: Up All Night, Life of the Party, Awesome Animal Hats, and the Digital Soundtrack. I bought these at a Steam sale, but then found out that Origin has to run too. Oh well, it hasn't really been a problem so far.
I've been trying to get used to the new game mechanics. Sims 4 seems to be very similar to 3 though, and it's been easier to switch versions than I thought it would be. I did install a few tuning mods, but want to keep those to a minimum. One of my issues with playing Sims 3 is that managing all the content and CC I had accumulated was becoming somewhat of a pain.
Here are some screenshot highlights from my first few hours of game play, featuring Dave Peran (Bodybuilder Aspiration, Astronaut Career), Rachel Loft (Friend of the Animals, Veterinarian Career), Corgi (female dog), and Welsh (male dog).
