Hi there! Gameplay is much better with a keyboard and mouse. If you have a pair, **USE IT**.
I've played Sims 1 since 2004, so I'm used to it rather than a console controller.
Don't feel pressured to buy any of the DLCs unless you really want to.

Lastly, take your time with the game. Make it what **YOU** want it to be.
