The best expansion packs and DLC for Sims 4 are those that open up new creative possibilities and enrich your Sims' daily lives. Sure, The Sims 4 is a free game, but that doesn't stop us from wanting more: more experiences, more adventures, and more items. The famous life simulator has more than 100 additional DLC, from household clutter packs to the addition of werewolves and vampires to the base game.
There are four main types of DLC for The Sims 4: expansion packs, game packs, stuff packs, and packs. They vary in size, with Expansion Packs being the largest and Kits being the smallest.
With the expansion pack, you can expect major new features including careers, traits, skills, sim types, and locations that typically impact the base game significantly. Game packs are slightly smaller in scope and offer themed add-ons, often consisting of one of the above features. Items, decor, and clothing are added to the catalogs—usually some parts that affect gameplay or can be interacted with. Sets are mini-collections of items that are often just static decorations that add a little flavor to how you dress your Sim or decorate their home.
