Forever Free Packs for Everyone
The Sims 4 is a 10-year-old game with over 90 DLC packs, and EA will likely keep releasing more for years. Competing life-sim games like Inzoi and Paralives offers much of this content in their base ...

Call me a scrooge, but if they were to do that, I'd still want some sort of reimbursement. I'm not saying a full monetary reimbursement, but something significant in return for buying an expansion pack that is suddenly free for newcomers. Old game or not, there are players who have invested an excessive amount of money to own the insane amount of packs and will continue to do so.
Within that, however rests the problem in that newcomers would feel they are being punished for not having bought the packs.
The Kit idea I question for the sake of CC creators who made full kits. They still have chances of getting a little payment for their work via the creator codes. Maybe if they do not include those kits in the free release list, sure.
In the end, the only thing I'd be cool about becoming forever free for all would be Digital Deluxe thing, Kits not made by CC creators and Stuff Packs whose gameplay feature doesn't hold much merit anymore, like the buffet table and hot tubs. Tiny Living, Paranormal, Homes Chef Hustle and Crystal Creations obviously would not be included in the list of "forever free".
We already have 90 packs and its coming more and more they can free some packs inzoi and paralives have so many dlcs in their basegame.
Yeah, and a ton of us had to buy those packs at full price or if lucky for a more decent price due to a sale. As I see things, if I had to buy it, then newcomers should have to buy it just as well. The fact that there have been some really good sales on older packs recently should be good enough. Expansion packs are 60% off right now. That is less than the regular price of a Game Pack and slightly more than a Stuff Pack! Newcomers are freaking lucky to have those prices. In turn, this just makes me more set on my opinion.
You wanna play? Then you should pay. I'm totally cool with new players getting DLC for over half the price off despite I might have paid full price as long as they pay for it.
This is the Sims 4. It is not inzoi or paralives. Those two games look to have truly dedicated creators that see their projects as their babies and thus are putting a lot of care into them, much like how The Sims and Sims 2 once had. It is horribly unfortunate the Sims 4 doesn't have that that time and dedication put into it anymore. Nevertheless, though all three games are listed as life simulators, they are not the same game. People need to stop trying to make them be.
