The Sims 4 goes on sale several times a year. EA and Maxis continue to release new content for the game, so newcomers might want to pick it up since so much content is available. However, some players may find it difficult to choose between The Sims 4 standard edition and The Sims 4: Digital Deluxe Edition. While the Digital Deluxe Edition packs more content, the Origin store doesn't detail everything that's included in the pack, which may lead some players to be confused as to which one to purchase.
Standard vs Digital Deluxe
The standard edition of The Sims 4 only includes the base game. The Digital Deluxe Edition contains the base game plus a few additional pieces of content for Create A Sim and Build/Buy modes.
The Digital Deluxe Edition is the best choice gamers can buy. If playing on PC, players may need some of the items for custom content later. But, if players purchased 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 lovers, The Sims 4 digital soundtrack is also included in the game. Songs are available in the game options or in the game folder.
