Game is okay I guess. In the base game there is still just so much game content missing that makes one question why move on to play the sims 4 when the base game of sims 3 had so much content. Overall, I'm just glad I didn't pay the full price of the sims 4. Because IMO the game is not worth that much. Double click inside the The Sims 4 folder, Game folder, Bin folder, and run the TS4.exe or TS4x64.exe application. Have fun and play! Make sure to run the game as administrator and if you get any missing dll errors, go inside the Redist folder and install dxwebsetup, and all 4 of the vcredist programs.
