- VWoodsongSeasoned ObserverI don't have all the packs, and I never buy any immediately after release, but I also don't know if I'll ever feel the wish to use one of the trials. So I guess I would say I'm pretty much indifferent about them.
- AncientMuse2Seasoned RookieI've always liked the concept of "try before you buy". It gives the consumer the opportunity to make a well-informed decision before opening up their wallet.
- atreya33Seasoned AceI don't own all DLC but I do own the ones that were on trial and I think it is a good idea. That way those who are on the fence can see if a pack will be something for them.
- CAPTAIN_NXR7Seasoned VeteranI own all the Sims 4 content released to date.
If, in the future a certain pack is missing in my library and a trial version is made available for a limited amount of time - I’d certainly be delighted to have an option to sample it!
I occasionally play trial versions of other games and typically about half of them would prove to be very uninteresting to me, so at least I did not invest money in those games and only a small amount of my time. Another game will get my money only because I was given an opportunity to try it and ended up enjoying it more than I initially thought I would.
I think EA should continue to release trial versions of Sims 4 EPs for anyone who’s still on the fence.
There’s a much higher chance that somebody will buy it after expanding their gameplay with it, so offering trial versions is probably one of the best tricks in the box. - I haven't tried any since I usually grab the DLC pretty close to release, but definitely bring them on. There is nothing bad about demo-ing a game. In fact, it is really the natural order of things that some publishers forgot. Video games are an interactive medium; video trailers can only tell you so much.
If anything, I think the trials shouldn't be so limited. Per account, you should be allowed a timed trial of each DLC. If you're confident in your product and have a fair refund policy anyway, this should cause no issues. - simsimsereRising AdventurerI think the pack trials are great for people who don't have them! I have all the EPs, I would try DHD or JtB if they made GP trials. Though overall I think it's better to have trials for EPs only. I have played a couple of trials or free first episodes for other games and they really help a lot.
- IsharellNew SpectatorI have most of the EP's and some of the GP's, but even so, I'd love more trials.
- I'd love to see more trials for more pack types, but as @musteni said, EP trials are really solid. EPs have the perfect amount of content to try before you buy.
- I want more trials because I only have three packs : cats & dogs, seasons and dream home decorator, so it's really fun to be able to play some new aspects of the game because I find that eventually the gameplay with these 3 packs gets really repetitive and it's fun to try new things
- Also before I got the sims I didn't know whether I wanted to buy it but I did like a CAS demo game and then a free trial of the game and I realized I wanted to get it, and the same day I decided to buy it the game was free lol
