WHEN YOU HAVE $5000+ OF DLC AND EXPANSION, OFFERING THE BASE GAME FOR FREE IS LIKE THE DEALER OFFERING THE FIRST HIT FOR FREE.

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.

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

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

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

0:05 at least EA knows what we players do

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.

Now bring back *MySims* It’s been 12 years EA

Would be nice to have a Castaway remake tbh.

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

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

Because every dlc will set you back over $800

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

“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.

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

Finally, a game about free basing

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.

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. 🤣

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"

Imagine if this was the game at launch...

2 seconds in and I'm feeling personally attacked.

Now make all of the DLCs $5

Sims 5 must be coming

This trailer lowkey wildin 😂😂😂

I’ve been waiting for this!

When the first clip of a official trailer is about trapping Sims in the pool....

A $1000 dollar game just get $60 cheaper

*"For Free"* 🗿

"Grimm's ghoulish guitar requires internet connection, EA account and The Sims 4 newsletter sign up" this is such an EA move that I'm not even sure if it's real or a joke. Does anyone know?

Why sell the base game when the cumulative dlc amounts to more than 10,000 dollars!?

EA be like… “Hey, we could milk this puppy even more!”

Do what you did on Origin for Sims 2. Give away the base game and all DLC. Then I'll take it. You milked this enough.

dude gave ideas to newcomers at the beginning of the trailer

Next, we need a Nintendo switch port

What about the Switch? 🥺

After pouring so many hours into Sims 4, I can sum up the game in one sentence: Great graphics but no soul.

40$ for a single small dlc pack, lmao what a joke

What's the song?? Also yay Sims 4

For me the game will still be 1000 dollars no matter what

Its like the bonbon you can take when you buy something.

Does this base game have the walls that cn be a circle

What is the title of the music?

1:44 So THAT'S the house on the Console Title Screen

LOL the set for head toilet sims are hilarious

This is long overdue, when the expansion packs and dlcs all-together costs 5 times more than the base game. hahaha.

Did this feel very Sims 2 to anyone else?

I’m not wearing any socks right now 😏

There’s a reason why the sims 3 base game isn’t free…

Now we have to download base game again??

Who wants the base game? Give the whole game for free or don’t give it at all

it’s so chaotic

Yeah the sims can be perfect for the Nintendo switch soon

Im going to download it now can't wait for sims 5 tho

It's free as the expansions cost millions 🤣

ok but this is actually a really great trailer for the sims

so happy they added the poolacide

No hot coffee mods?

Imagine making Sims 3 free tho..

Maxis: Base game is free now!! Fact: Literally tons of EPs, GPs, SPs and Kits are available to buy😐

As if they show all the dlc in the base game trailer, the cheek of it

This is the most random, accurate and best trailer I’ve seen.

Mm well time to get back to sims after many years of not playing

Bub yere berrr! Or what ever those sims say for being happy.

best trailer of all sims4 time. love the music

I’ll stick with 2 and 3

1:24 bro is dj khalid💀💀

all these people complaining about the price of the dlc but sims 4 is now free to play and by their logic on free to play the price for extra content is justifiable because it's a free game

Please put this game on Switch!!!

We just want CC on consoles.

The Sims 4 base game has become a game

Atlast... Free!

My favorite game

Ain’t free. But the intro is pretty bada$$

If anything, this move only confirms that Sims 5 is coming out within the next 6 to 8 months mark my words people

Ya te! (Yahoo) - Sims.

1:17 Когда понимаешь, что старый облик хоть и считался "неканоничным", но всё же был лучше... Почему нельзя было позволить выбирать вариант модели? Теперь что пиратка, что лицензия, надо с версиями игры и сохранениями возиться.

DOES THE KID REALLY HAVE A TOILET ON HIS HEAD ON THE THUMBNAIL?💀💀💀

1:18 Bella multiverse

"Grim's Ghoulish Guitar requires internet connection, EA Account, and The Sims 4 newsletter sign-up". its just a guitar...

they are working on the sims 5 so giving the base game for free is them squeezing some last $ out of the DLC they can sell for the sims 4. before they release the sims 5 with the same old DLC packs they have been pusing since the sims 3.. its insane u got to buy pets DLC for every new game they release. but ofc its EA after all

Wow…. Just , wow …..

a billion Bella Goths yes please

Yess

You can tell EA's lost touch with this brand because the song isn't sung in Similish.

Wow not only are the dlcs free on sites but now the base game is free for all the OG sim player who bought the game and dlcs this is just a slap on yall face

Pirate this game on PC. All dlc. It's EA don't feel bad.

It’s morally correct to pirate The Sims 4 at this point anyway

Cute, can we get Urbz 2 maybe?

Please give the get to work dlc for free too

Should have gone free to play on launch day. EA is just trying to milk Sims 4 one last time by going f2p before they drop Sims 5.

Trying to think of a creative first comment - Got nothing.

EA sports its in the game ..........after you buy it

Sims 5 will be in 1000 years

Gamers, we don’t deserve this many slaps in our faces.

Magia potagia is the daddy of all this sims

Bring back Urbz: Sims in the City

We're rich!

The Sims on Nintendo Switch is A Must..please make happen much needed
