What's the deal with playing The Sims? Do I need to start with a specific game?

-

I’ve never played The Sims before, but I’m finally ready to give it a shot! I’m curious about the gameplay mechanics. Do I have to play the games in a certain order, or is there an overarching plot that connects them? Can I just jump into any game, or is it better to experience them in sequence for the full effect?

The Sims is all about simulation—you’re in control! There’s no set plot or ultimate goal. You can literally do whatever you want, from building houses to creating wacky characters. If you haven’t spent any cash yet, definitely check out Sims 4 since it’s currently free!

Wait, for real? How is it free? I thought Sims 4 would cost a lot!
