Do I have to buy expansion packs?

[Battldog3000]

I want to get sims 4 on disc, but I don't know if I have to pay for the expansion packs so that I can play. I searched up and not that many websites knew the answer to my question. Will everything come with the disc or will I have the same stuff like the jobs, together and city living?

The Sims 4 is the base game, if you want you can add the expansion packs, stuff packs and game packs. But you don't have to. 

If you want any of the expansions/packs you'll have to buy those separately.

Expansions always come on disk, stuff and game packs get merged in to one bundle and you can get those as well, or get those as a download through Origin.

@Sc3ppy The base game is a requirement for the expansions to run

So yo need the base game first.

Hey everyone. 

I went ahead and locked this thread because it was several years old. 

Thanks!
