The Sims 4 has a ton of content, allowing players to explore their wildest fantasies. Be it an alien abduction or designing a spooky mansion for Halloween, there are no limitations.

While The Sims 4 allows players to explore their wildest fantasies, the game does not provide step-by-step instructions on how to do certain things. For instance, the game does not guide players on how to build a haunted house.
