the base is free because you have to buy 90% of the rest of the game

Getting the sims 4 for free is like going to the store to just get a plastic bag.

[schadenfreude]

When EA says something is free, you know its NEVER truly free. :)

[DerpyVenom]

EA: we're making Sims4 free for everyone!
also EA: also, 90% of the game is locked behind our DLCs for small fee of $1000

[zachryder]

Now make Sims 3 free, you know, the one people actually like.

[maxriggah]

They finally made enough money ripping people off with overpriced DLC to the point where they decided to make the bare bones base game free.

0:05 at least EA knows what we players do

[MichinImpossible]

Would be nice to have a Castaway remake tbh.

[that_deadeyegamer]

This is to give more incentive for buying it's DLCs which is pretty smart, Sims players just blindly buy whatever EA drops so this will definitely reel in more cash

[Razzrazz]

Now bring back *MySims*

It’s been 12 years EA

Because every dlc will set you back over $800

[Thomas-nndu]

To me it always was free, everything was free actually.

[unknownici]

I‘ve always wondered why they didn’t make the base game for free. It’s the best you can do, if your content consists of 99% DLC.

[TherealeduardoN]

Brilliant way to start this trailer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[goated]

Lol so you new comers know, most of everything you have seen in this trailer will be locked behind a paywall pack. The base game barely has an pulse.

Free Base Game....

Be prepared to spend over £500 for all the other goodies unless you wanna wait for the sales to come along. 🤣

[NopWorks]

PLAY FOR FREE*

*Additional content requires separate purchase and all base game updates.

They should've written "90% of content shown requires $1000s of dollars in additional purchases"

[applepopo]

“Free” is an attractive word for everyone. That’s why I’m sure many new users will enjoy this free content filled with a ton of dlcs sold at exorbitant prices.

[ProStashio]

Sims 4 knows it's players, evidence is the opening of the trailer alone.

[SaltyLlama]

Imagine if this was the game at launch...
