This is how I played NV to completion for the very first time earlier this year and it is absolutely the best way. It is mostly vanilla with some quality of life and rebalance changes that the developers would have liked to have done in the end.

There's like an 80% chance you already got the base game free at some point.

If you already have the base game, there's a free DLC, Desert Luxe Kit, that will become not-free when the base game goes free. I linked to the Steam version but it's also free on Origin and consoles.

I'm afraid to take Sims 4 for free out of fear that I might end up buying one of the 400 expansion packs. Also, from what I have seen, there is no reason to play it over Sims 3, which I have.

Mechanicus is pretty great if you like Xcom style tactical shooters. Mandalore did a good review of it.

Anyway it rules that they've been making the exact same expansion packs as Sims 1 but adding less and less with every generation

Urbz on NDS was good, but also pretty limited in the end game. You'll get the best apartment, you'll have all the money you need, but there's no more incentive to do anything and the item catalogue is scant.

I did do everything the game offers, though, and spent hours farming petrified wood. You just run out of stuff to do, and it's not like the regular Sims where you just start up a new character with new challenges/goals.

But if you're playing the DS version, you don't get the Simlish version of Let's Get It Started where it's incredibly clear that they're still singing the version with the slur.

Yep. I have Sims 1 'Complete' and, while it had some serious issues, each of the 8 or so expansions was loaded with content. I had the disc versions of all of the Sims 2 stuff as well and then I benefited from the free Origin giveaway, but that was when they started to take the piss. Sims 3 was in incredible game to the point that I see no reason to play Sims 4, but buying all of the offical content for that game cost around £70,000... and they wonder why we pirate this poo poo.

If you listen to the song, which I have a fair bit recently since it's regularly on my store's radio, they literally changed none of the other lyrics and they are still very much about becoming mentally impaired.

I was having this exact conversation a few weeks ago with my friend at a live college football game, because the song is frequently used for hype at live sports events. My point was that young people of a certain age will probably only ever know the sanitized version of the song and that the original will become a footnote in history to be raised as an obscure trivia question decades from now.

Yeah, Enemy Territory was made available on Steam and GOG after the Bethesda.net launcher shut down, as part of the general migration of older games from there. A lot of people complained about there only being insane modded servers up, so there's now official vanilla servers hosted by Id and GOG.
