Sims 4 ps4 live mode?

Hey wanted to ask if you need for the sims4 on ps4 ps plus for the live mode so that the sims then live properly, eat, go to loo, etc.

And would you rather buy in the Playstation Store or directly on CD?

In my opinion, buying the sims 4 would not be worthwhile without the live mode. And I have no idea about the game haha.

Of course you do not need a PS4 Plus, what would that be synonymous sense, otherwise you can't play the game xD

Everything is included in the game (except for the DLCs), which has nothing to do with this Free2Play Sims part.
