The Sims 4 Life and Death review – The best expansion yet
So far, I've only logged a handful of hours playing, but I can confidently say this is one of the best expansion packs in the Sims franchise. I've played a few of the expansion packs, like Island Living, Cottage Living, and High School Years, but this one actually feels like an expansion.
