Should You Get a Grim Standard or Deluxe Ascendant Crow in The Sims 4?

There is one major difference between the Standard and Deluxe Ascendant Crow inThe Sims 4: the Grim Deluxe Ascendant Crow doesn’t have a Hunger or Perch State Need, reducing maintenance work.

It also seems that the Deluxe Ascendant Crow goes on recon missions by itself more frequently, but this is not confirmed yet.

The difference between the two Crows is only 175 Simoleons, so gamers who don’t want to waste time doing this can simply purchase the Deluxe variant. However, these tasks require minimal effort and won’t take away too much of the Sim’s or player’s time.
