I just bought The Sims 4. But when I started playing I couldn't read a thing! Why is this? Some of the information clouds appear, but sometimes it doesn't say a thing. It's very confusing cause I don't know what it is asking me to do. Please help.
If the game doesn't work properly, how can I ask my money back?
