The Sims 3 is great. It's the only game in the series with an open world. I found there was plenty to do with just the base game, but the DLCs add quite a bit. They're quite expensive if you buy them all at once but each one is decent value for the price. The Sims 4 ditched the open world and is infested with pedo shit. To make matters worse the DLCs have far less content but cost the same as the ones for 3.
