Eco Lifestyle has a Free Trial version?

Today, I was in my Sims 4 game and noticed that Eco Lifestyle was on Free Trial. I clicked on it, and it just showed me an error. So, I quit the game and Origin popped up. In Origin, I clicked on The Sims 4 and went to Expansion Packs. Then, I noticed EP 09 Trial PH Display Name. I did a quick search on the Internet and found that EP 09 is Eco Lifestyle. So, I downloaded it. It's 1.39 gb, which makes sense for an expansion pack.

This is so weird.

I tried searching on YouTube and Google for Sims News, but I couldn't find anything regarding Free Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack Trial.

    Does it say it is owned in your game in your library under expansion packs? I’m not home to check right now but last I checked it still had an option to buy it there but said I owned it under my packs in the loading screen when you first start the game


    No, it is not owned in the library under expansion packs. However, if I were to go in-game and check out My Packs, then I can actually find Eco Lifestyle with the Owned tag.

    So, it is likely that the expansion pack is installed on my computer, and I am allowed to keep it. But, if I switch computers and want Eco Lifestyle on that new computer, then I would probably have to purchase the expansion pack.
