Forever Free Packs for Everyone

The Sims 4 is a 10-year-old game with over 100 DLC packs (106), 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 game. For example, Inzoi can provide content equivalent to 30–40 Sims 4 packs in its basegame for the price of just one expansion pack(40$) and we already have 20 of them.

To stay competitive and keep players engaged, EA should make some older packs permanently free—such as Seasons, Cats & Dogs and Get to Work. Giving 2–4 free packs from each pack category would greatly benefit new players so they can complete other packs without pirating.

For players who already own these packs, EA could offer new Kits free for a month (like they did with Desert Luxe Kit when The Sims 4 became free).

I think forever free packs should be; 

2 expansion packs -> seasons, cats and dogs   (out of 20 eps)

2 game packs -> dine out, get to work   (out of 12 gps)

4 stuff packs -> cool kitchen, bowling night, backyard, spooky  (out of 20 sps)

4 kits -> throwback fit, industrial loft, blooming rooms, carnaval streetwear  (out of 40 kits of excluding 11 creator kits and 2 spongebob kits,  total 53)   

20 EP, 12 GP, 20 SP, 53 KITS

  • I love this idea. Unfortunately, I think EA is being sold to another company and if its like the company that runs Star Trek Fleet Command then I think the content will only get more expensive instead of less expensive. But one can hope.

    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 I r sales.

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