The Sims 4 is free. No trap or cardboard. You may download it without paying from any available platform. Who would have imagined a few years ago that this could happen? Below I will tell you everything you need to know: where to download it, available platforms and what content is included in the free version.
Play The Sims 4 for free
Electronic Arts released The Sims 4 in 2014 and since then it has been a paid game that has been adding packs and expansions until amassing a huge amount, whose total price has skyrocketed to (almost) four figures. It’s no wonder that its move to the free format was received with such joy.
Before its conversion on October 18, The Sims 4 cost 19.99 euros. Both the paid and free versions are exactly the same and available on the same platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam and Origins).
- From when can you play for free? October 18. At 7:00 p.m. there will be an official presentation. Most likely right after it.
What does it mean that the paid (old) and free versions are the same? Well, it only includes the base game content. This is good news because you save 20 euros and you can give it a try or return to the franchise. Buying their expansions is up to you.
If you already owned The Sims 4 before it became free (before October 17), then you should get the free desert luxe kitwith furniture inspired by natural landscapes.
And speaking of its expansions…
The Sims 4 has a huge number of expansions and packs. Believe me when I tell you there are many. Its total price amounts (hold on to the chair) to 984.43 euros without sales. Certainly there is some free expansion as “Luxury Oasis”, but it is not the norm. If you want to buy one and don’t know which one to start with, we have a guide with the best recommendations.
On the other hand, if you are a subscriber of the services EA Play Y EA Play Proyou have access to several content packs:
- The Sims 4 EA Play Edition, which includes: The Sims 4 Get to Work! Expansion pack.
- The Sims 4 EA Play Pro Edition, which includes: The Sims 4 Get to Work! Expansion Pack and The Sims 4 Toddlers Stuff Pack.
Finally, I remind you that you can find a good number of guides on VidaExtra with everything you need to know: from tips for beginners to how to activate and deactivate cheats. In addition, there are guides to lose weight and gain weight, be immortal, do the “Ñiqui, Ñiqui” and much more.
