Will The Sims 4 possibly be available for free download again anytime soon?

I have tried the 48hr free trial and I loved the game a lot I have always loved this game and for the first time in 2 years of wanting the game I got to experience it. I am very grateful for that opportunity I got however, EA if you read these questions please can you at least consider making the Sims 4 base game available for free download  anytime soon? After the trial I really loved the game, so much so that I would love to buy it but for one I am not completely sure how to purchase this without a credit card and for two I would also love to get at least on extension pack but I cannot afford to get the base game and the pack at the same time hence why if you considered making the Sims 4 available for free download again I and along with many other players would be able to afford to get a extension pack to go with the game. Please, even to take this into consideration would mean a lot.

  • @prettycupcakes21  The Sims 4 base game was available for free two years ago, for a week or two, but I believe that's the only time this happened.  Other than that, the base game often goes on sale for $5 U.S. (or the rough equivalent), and expansions for $20.  So if you're patient, you might be able to afford both.

    As for how to buy without a credit card, a few stores sell EA Wallet cards: you buy one worth $20 or $50, you add it to your Origin account, and you can apply the funds to purchases.  Last I checked, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart all sold them, although perhaps not all stores have the cards in stock.
