Ya just the base game, although "back in my day" the base game was pretty barebones. How do you feel about it? I wonder how much they added baseline since then. Do you feel like you lack a lot?

I've not done a lot. So far all I've done is get a job, come home and immediately go to bed and cry, quit THAT job, set myself on fire a lot from cooking, Piss off a lot of women except one, then after failing to impress her twice with my Johnny Storm impression she calls me saying she has a crush on another guy and want to know if she should go for it so I say "Yeah sure go for it", and then go to the library a lot to write up reports for work since I'm too poor to buy a computer cause I keep replacing everything that gets destroyed in the fire since the insurance apparently doesn't cover everything.

Once I get my Sim to shape up and perhaps have a spot of good luck I can venture out and see what I can actually do.

So...it did NOT go well for my Sim. He invites a girl to live with him and because she was homeless she brought in 20,000 to the household. I thought "Neat. I can get a new stove so I can start lighting myself on fire." I get the new Stove, she moves in, she cooks and sets herself on fire. I am SOOOOO done by then.

I start my new Sim and for whatever reason it's working out way better. I'm not killing myself with pyromancy, women don't hate me for as much as looking at them, and I'm making money hand over fist. My Sim doesn't cry after work every day even though he gets a new promotion every 3 days or so. I don't know what I did with my last Sim but he was "Bad luck personified". I ditched that one and now my new playthrough doesn't feel like I'm swimming against the current.
