Re: Forever Free Packs for Everyone

i think that the older exspasion packs should be free as the base game is quite boring alone and not everyone would be able to pay for them and since they are pretty old i just think that it would be fair if they where free 

eg get to work and all the other old ones

    You can't afford the sales? The oldest dlc is 50% off currently. Gaming is a luxury. While I understand the base game can be boring, it gives incentive to save money and wait for sales.

    I'm sorry you're not able to afford the expansion packs. I've sent you a message.

    @cebmain, it is only "expensive" if you have FOMO and need everything at launch. I personally have not bought all the dlc and the ones I have purchased were on extreme discount. I wait for sales amd only pay what I think the pack is worth. Many of my stuff packs only cost me $2.50 to $5, game packs cost me $10 to $15, and expansions were between $20 to $35. Half price packs do mean you wait for about a year or two, but then the major problems are usually patched out too. Btw, I bought the base game on sale about in 2016 for about $40, it wasn't offered for free until a few years after that. In 2014, the base game was over $100, especially if you wanted the deluxe version. Wait for sales and if you still think it is too expensive than the gaming hobby isn't worth your income.

    Even on deals they're still £17-18 on average, which is rather an ask.

    Right now there is discount for sims 4 on steam and it's $1,071.92 USD if you want to buy all packs. So it's too expensive even with the discount

    cebmarin​, again gaming as a hobby can get expensive. While I sympathize, it is just a fact of life. It is one reason I only purchase dlc that will fit my gameplay style and why I wait for sales. There are eps that I am waiting for the price to drop to at least half price if not more. The issue is many simmers get fomo and think they need all the packs.

    Should be free and are offered free are two different things. The Sims 4 proved they do not have a problem charging for the same content in a newer version, i.e. Seasons and every other pack that have already been released in Sims 2, and 3. Why would they give it to us for free in the next version when they never have before?
