The Sims 4 goes on sale multiple times a year. EA and Maxis continue to release new content for the game, so newcomers may want to pick it up since so much content is available. However, some players may have trouble deciding between The Sims 4 standard edition and The Sims 4: Digital Deluxe Edition. While the Digital Deluxe Edition contains more content, the Origin store doesn’t itemize everything included in the pack, which may make some players unsure of which one to buy.
Standard vs. Digital Deluxe
The standard edition of The Sims 4 includes only the base game. The Digital Deluxe Edition contains the base game plus a few extra bits of content for Create-a-Sim and Build/Buy mode.
The Digital Deluxe Edition is the best choice players can buy. If playing on PC, players may need some of the items for custom content down the road. But, if players bought the Standard edition, they can purchase the Digital Deluxe upgrade through the Origin store.
What Does the Digital Deluxe Edition Include?
The Digital Deluxe Edition contains three small packs of additional content: the Awesome Animal Hats, Life of the Party, and Up All Night. For music fans, The Sims 4 digital soundtrack is also included in the game. The songs are available in the Game Options or in the game folder.
