Context

The Sims series has been around for over 20 years. Sims 4 is the latest iteration of the series and has been around since 2014. Since Sims 4 hasn't been met with uniform high praise, many fans have compared it to previous versions of the Sims especially Sims 2 and Sims 3. Many have discussed what was available and gameplay interactions in Sims 2 and Sims 3. This is why there is information about Sims 3 included in the dataset.

Sims 4 has had quite a bit of controversy from its dedicated fans about paid-content add-ons that range from 5 USD to 40 USD. Much of the downloadable content (DLC) has been reviewed or discussed in the Sims community across the internet.

Let's take a look at what is available in the DLC's available.

Updates

Planning monthly updates and to update when there are additional announcements about the Sims 4. Currently, patch data is not available in this dataset, nor is there much information about Sims 3 and Sims 4 Bundles. These will be updated.

Content

Collected information about the Sims 4 with its iterations and add-ons. Sims 4 Individual Packs follows the available Sims 4 pieces available on Origin - the official EA place to play the Sims 4. So far there are numerous add-ons and they continue to be released despite the Sims 4 coming out in 2014. (Official US PC release date is September 2, 2014)

Release time is available for some DLC because of current anticipated releases or DLC already released.

This data was collected from many sources including Origin, EA, Steam, SimsCommunity.info, SimsVIP, Carl's Sims 4 Guide, Sims.fandom.com, MetaCritic, Amazon, and more. This initial upload has some information about each available purchase of the Sims 4 and DLC including Release Date, Price, and some ratings.

** V1 Update: ** Included Sims 3 Data under Individual Packs for Title, Release Date, Steam Rating, and Price. Information will need to be moved around, but data is still useable. Information collected from Origin, Steam, and Sims.fandom.com .

Acknowledgements

Shoutout to all the dedicated Simmers who paid over $900 USD to play the Sims 4 with every add-on and DLC. Also to those who just play with custom content (like myself).

Carl's Sims 4 Guides are a great place to get an understanding of the Sims 4 and they had a great collection of information about the Sims 4 on their website and YouTube channel.

Inspiration

I'd love to see someone decide which type of DLC is worth the money like a front-runner for kits, or stuff packs, or expansion packs.

In recent years, the number of telecom frauds has increased significantly, causing substantial losses to people’s daily lives. With technological advancements, telecom fraud methods have also become more sophisticated, making fraudsters harder to detect as they often imitate normal users and exhibit highly similar features. Traditional graph neural network (GNN) methods aggregate the features of neighboring nodes, which makes it difficult to distinguish between fraudsters and normal users when their features are highly similar. To address this issue, we proposed a spatio-temporal graph attention network (GDFGAT) with feature difference-based weight updates. We conducted comprehensive experiments on our method on a real telecom fraud dataset. Our method obtained an accuracy of 93.28%, f1 score of 92.08%, precision rate of 93.51%, recall rate of 90.97%, and AUC value of 94.53%. The results showed that our method (GDFGAT) is better than the classical method, the latest methods and the baseline model in many metrics; each metric improved by nearly 2%. In addition, we also conducted experiments on the imbalanced datasets: Amazon and YelpChi. The results showed that our model GDFGAT performed better than the baseline model in some metrics.

This study quantifies how much deforestation was avoided due to legal protection in Legal Amazon in strictly protected areas, sustainable use areas, and indigenous lands. Only regions that are protected de jure (i.e., where deforestation is avoided due to effective laws rather than remoteness) were considered, so that the potential of legal protection could be better assessed. This is a cross-sectional approach, which allows comparisons in terms of avoided deforestation among the different types of protection in the same period. This study covers three different periods. Regions protected de jure were sampled by estimating a threshold distance at which deforestation starts to diminish and retaining all pixels up to that distance, and deforestation that has been avoided due to legal protection was estimated by matching. Indigenous lands avoided the highest percentage of deforestation during the 2001–2004 and 2005–2008 periods, followed by those under strict protection and sustainable use areas, in respective order. Shifting patterns in deforestation avoidance are clearly noticeable for the 2009–2014 period when 1) strictly protected areas outperformed indigenous lands in terms of the percentage of saved forests, 2) some protected regions began to attract deforestation instead of avoiding it, and 3) sustainable use areas, on average, did not avoid deforestation.

In the first quarter of 2025, revenues of Amazon Web Services (AWS) rose to 17 percent, a decrease from the previous three quarters. AWS is one of Amazon’s strongest revenue segments, generating over 115 billion U.S. dollars in 2024 net sales, up from 105 billion U.S. dollars in 2023. Amazon Web Services Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides on-demand cloud platforms and APIs through a pay-as-you-go-model to customers. AWS launched in 2002 providing general services and tools and produced its first cloud products in 2006. Today, more than 175 different cloud services for a variety of technologies and industries are released already. AWS ranks as one of the most popular public cloud infrastructure and platform services running applications worldwide in 2020, ahead of Microsoft Azure and Google cloud services. Cloud computing Cloud computing is essentially the delivery of online computing services to customers. As enterprises continually migrate their applications and data to the cloud instead of storing it on local machines, it becomes possible to access resources from different locations. Some of the key services of the AWS ecosystem for cloud applications include storage, database, security tools, and management tools. AWS is among the most popular cloud providers Some of the largest globally operating enterprises use AWS for their cloud services, including Netflix, BBC, and Baidu. Accordingly, AWS is one of the leading cloud providers in the global cloud market. Due to its continuously expanding portfolio of services and deepening of expertise, the company continues to be not only an important cloud service provider but also a business partner.
