The many EPs of the Sims universe continue to keep the franchise alive, incorporating more content with each passing year. But with so many add-ons out there, it can be challenging to keep up with them all, especially when deciding on a new EP. So, to get the complete package, we’re here to rank all The Sims 4 expansion packs from worst to best.

15. Snowy Escape

Although Snowy Escape is at the bottom of the list, it is by no means a bad Sims 4 expansion pack. One of its best qualities is the many decorative objects you can utilize in almost any world, showcasing a Japanese-inspired furniture collection. The pack is also just plain fun to explore, where you can take a trip down the snowy mountains and relax in the cozy rock garden.

The anime universe can be a lot to handle when first diving in, especially if you are in the market to buy a present for that special someone. We’re here to help you narrow down the search by providing you with some anime gift ideas for the holiday season.

Lenticular Artwork by Dominic Glover

Dominic Glover has some of the most unique anime artwork, as its design changes based on the angle you are looking at. While one side showcases a focused Naruto, the other exhibits him in action during an all-out battle. It’s almost as if it’s a moving picture without the need for any electronics, creating an illusion with its different perspectives.

One of the many features that made the Sims franchise stand out from other games is the inclusion of various cultures, in which players can truly feel represented. Whether it be through the creation of a character or household, it gives them a chance to say, “Hey, look, it’s me” or “This is what my childhood home used to look like.”

Throughout the years, the Sims series has evolved even more with cultural representation, especially with the latest For Rent expansion pack that centers around a Southeast Asian lifestyle. I had the privilege of chatting with the EP’s Cultural Consultant, Jason Chu, who discussed the importance of authenticity during the development process.

The Sims 4: For Rent on PC

Multi-family units have been the talk of the Sims town since the release of City Living. But up until that point, The Sims 4 wasn’t quite capable of extensive household sizes, leaving many players to rely on mods or settle for the maximum limit. Fortunately, the time has finally come for those who enjoy multi-family homes in the Southeast Asian-inspired world of Tomarang.

If you’ve been browsing around the forums for The Sims 4 For Rent, you may have noticed that many players have suggested it to be a game pack rather than a full-on expansion pack. And while I agree with this take on some factors, I believe the content included gives it enough justice to stand as an EP. It’s much more than just adding multiple units in the lot, as it comes with multiple extra features.

When the City Living EP initially dropped, many Simmers weren’t too keen on the segregated apartment lifestyle that it introduced. However, this impression has since changed with the upcoming Sims 4 For Rent pack that finally ushers in a multi-family household.

I got the chance to attend a For Rent early digital event to get a sneak peek at these new features, showcasing a more complex side to the classic Build Mode. The life of a Property Owner was one of the first big changes I was surprised to see, given that landlord roles are relatively designated for NPCs.

Since the launch of Modern Warfare 3, DMZ fans have been wondering about the mode’s future, especially with the arrival of Zombies. And now, the Call of Duty Blog has finally disclosed its conclusion, indicating that there will be no new content moving forward.

Once MW3 Season 1 launches, DMZ Beta will only be available to play via the Call of Duty: Warzone section. You won’t be able to access it through Modern Warfare 3, as Zombies will be the main focus.

Although Eren Yeager and Light Yagami are from two separate worlds, the pair share a common goal of wanting to balance the books of an unjust system. More often than not, this often leads to death; hence, the titling of the Death Note series — and Attack on Titan is, of course, no stranger to that concept as well.

But now the question remains: Who is the true evil protagonist between the two legendary anime? Could it be the infamous Kira, or will the new Founding Titan wielder be the one who reigns supreme? The only way to determine the winner of this battle is by looking at their arc as a whole and the reasoning behind their sinister acts.

If there were two words I would have never that could be together, it would probably be “zombies” and “wholesome.” Yet, Call of Duty’s most rendition somehow makes it happen, as I find my heart getting full with each passing deadly match.

Now, you may wonder: What makes Modern Warfare 3 Zombies so wholesome? Well, it all comes down to the latest PvE experience that no longer pits other players against each other to formulate more team-based mechanics. I’ll admit I had a rough time playing DMZ with my constant run-ins with enemy Operators, ultimately leaving me resourceless and embarrassed for trusting them.

If you’re searching for a new Sims 4 challenge, then you won’t need to look any further with the latest For Rent EP, as it completely revamps the game’s living quarters.

Instead of the classic one-family-per-unit mechanics, Simmers can explore the wonders of multi-family households that can either be shared or separated from each other. Like in real life, you’ll need to follow the rules in order to remain a good-standing tenant, including no loud noises and taking out the trash when needed.

There may not be any game more anticipated than Grand Theft Auto VI right now. With 2013’s Grand Theft Auto V being one of the highest-selling games of all time (and seeing a multitude of re-releases), fans are clearly more than ready for the next entry in the series. The long wait has felt even harsher with the recent leak of about 90 videos worth of early gameplay for this new title.

Major questions have obviously been posed about where GTA VI will take the franchise. While some want the franchise to continue pushing in a modern direction to feel more like a “sequel”, others have been more interested in the prospect of returning to past locations and time periods to be more of a “prequel.” Here are six reasons why we feel that Grand Theft Auto VI should push forward and become a sequel, rather than a prequel.

Now that Attack on Titan has officially concluded its anime saga, you may be inclined to look back in the series to search for Isayama’s many prognosticate moments. Even though I knew about these iconic scenes, I was still baffled at how many there are, making me feel like I should’ve spotted them in the first go around. So, if you want to join me on this nostalgic train, here are 12 epic foreshadowing moments in Attack on Titan.

To You, 2,000 Years in the Future 

At first glance, you may have cast off the first episode’s title, like I did, until it finally circles back in Season 4’s “From You, 2,000 Years Ago.” The episode finally brings everything together, showcasing the true mastermind of all the catastrophic events and Ymir Fritz’s heart-wrenching origins. 

It has been 10 years since the release of the brilliant GTA V, and our desire for the next game is starting to burn brighter and hotter.

So, now that the GTA 6 trailer is expected to come soon, we are all too curious about what the future holds with regard to Rockstar Games’ new entry. That being said, a few lingering questions about Grand Theft Auto 6 have come up, and we’re here to discuss them in detail.

When the City Living expansion pack first introduced the wonders of apartment living, Simmers couldn’t help but want more with its unique housing style. And now, things are finally looking up with the latest debut of the Sims 4 For Rent trailer, showcasing a new journey as a property owner or tenant.

With this pack, players can customize the home of their dreams in the city of Tomarang, from duplexes to apartments to townhomes. Thanks to its multi-family complexes, the impactful storytelling that the series is known for continues to thrive, especially with all the various cultures mixed together.

My Time at Sandrock on PS5

As someone who has put in a ton of hours in My Time at Portia, I was more than happy to see the arrival of its highly-anticipated sequel, My Time at Sandrock. It’s honestly one of my most treasured life simulator games, and I couldn’t wait to see what else was in store for this beloved building tale.

Upon the start of the game, I already noticed a significant improvement in graphics that polishes both the character models and the environment from the previous game. It almost makes you feel like you have stepped into the old countries of the Wild West. This time, you won’t be taking over your grandfather’s or father’s shop, as you’ve probably seen in most of these simulator games, where you’ll take over a retired builder’s post to carve your own path.

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s first-ever showcase unveiled a ton of new features for the game, from the latest update on multiplayer to a sizable map expansion.

To kick things off, everyone’s favorite Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington, will be arriving in the Valley on Dec. 5, 2023, along with the addition of the ValleyVerse. The ValleyVerse will be a part of DDV’s new multiplayer content, where players can visit each other’s magical worlds. You can show off your creations to your friends and family, similar to Animal Crossing, and visit Scrooge McDuck’s shop to access a different inventory selection.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria on PC

The Lord of the Rings franchise has had a few hits and misses throughout the years, from movie adaptations to the dreadful Gollum game that no one asked for. Yet, regardless of their Metacritic status, they have constantly introduced something new to the lore by giving fans a variety of perspectives within J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved universe.

You could say the same for Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria’s unique storyline, as you take on the role of a courageous dwarf who has found themselves lost in the labyrinths of Khazad-dûm. If you’re a fan of the franchise, you’ll undoubtedly remember this iconic location where the Fellowship of the Ring had one of its first significant turning points, ultimately changing the group’s fate.

The many side adventures of Spider-Man 2 took the original’s impactful storytelling to the next level, focusing less on the city as a whole and more on its people. So, to celebrate these meaningful tales, here are the top 10 best side missions in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

As a longtime fan of the series, I never thought I would be so happy to see such a mundane item, yet it’s the perfect way to start off this much-awaited reveal. But, of course, the star of the show has to be the man, the myth, the legend, himself: Naked Snake, as he explores all your favorite locations in MGS3.

With the release of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection, we’ve compiled this list of the franchise’s most iconic moments. From Snake Eater to the Sons of Liberty, you’ll undoubtedly feel a sense of nostalgia as you relive these memorable scenes or learn a few new things if you aren’t entirely familiar with the series.

Like the original, Spider-Man 2 showcases a significant amount of hidden features, whether it be a nod to another Marvel installment or an adorable Peter/Miles plushie.
