It is like Sims 3, but before sims 3 got a lot of DLC, with an even more open world world and a lot of mods.
It also got a lot of cool features like third person mode, driveable vehicles, half the jobs allow you to play at work. I think the more content it gets the better it will be, but post first DLC it is really good now.
Really good game. Also first DLC was even free.
