Hey everyone! I’ve had my Steam Deck with OLED for a while now, but I’m still figuring everything out. I usually play cozy games and narrative adventures like Lost Records: Bloom and Rage, and recently I started Life is Strange. I’m not a hardcore gamer—mostly enjoyed Pokémon on my Switch and DS, but I wanna explore more with my Steam Deck. I’ve tried getting Sims 4 on it, since I play that on my MacBook, but I struggled to get all the expansions in. I also have Firefox installed but that’s about it. I’d love to add more games and learn how to find files (like hidden game screenshots) on my Deck. If anyone can guide me or link to beginner tutorials, I would really appreciate it! I’m a bit overwhelmed with all the tech stuff, but I really enjoy gaming on this device.

Sims 4 is actually free to play on Steam. The easiest way is to buy the add-ons there since they’ll work seamlessly with the game. Check it out here: [Sims 4 on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1222670/The_Sims_4/)
I’ve got Sims 4 on the Ubisoft Store with all expansions. I just logged in to my account after installing from Steam, and everything was there. It might be worth a shot!
