The 11 best Sims 4 expansion packs to buy

radiotimes.com:

The Sims 5 is still a glowing speck in the future, but the fourth game still has plenty to give.

We could play it for hours, but to add the longevity, there are plenty of expansions to install. In fact, EA are still creating exciting DLC for Sims 4 as we speak.

There's a huge variety of expansions out there, from taking care of pets to getting your tenants in line as a property owner.

Listen to our Sims developer interview on the One More Life podcast!

Let's take a look at 11 of the very best DLCs for Sims 4. There's so much on offer, they'll probably see you through to the release of Sims 5.

It's out of the suburbs and into the countryside with the Cottage Living expansion pack, which sticks you on a farm and lets you live off of the land! You can raise animals like cows and chickens, cook only with the actual ingredients (though that is optional) and just generally enjoy a more peaceful virtual life. This one does wear out its welcome after a while, but it's different enough to be a refreshing change.

The best years of your life they say. Well, relive them all over again (which admittedly may sound like a nightmare to some people) in virtual form with this expansion! Follow the teens in the family to Copperdale High and watch as they attend classes, hang out with their friends, and get up to all the things that teenagers do — well, not all… It's a family game.
