EA has just announced that starting on October 18th, The Sims 4 base game<\/a> will be free to play – forever! While jubilation and celebration abound throughout the EA-positive Twitterverse<\/strong> and Sims YouTube, pragmatists the world over are asking the same question; is EA doing enough?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Examining the facts, we see that no game in The Sims\u2019 history has had more packs and additional content than The Sims 4. Eleven expansion packs and nine stuff packs were released during The Sims 3\u2019s tenure as the preeminent life simulation game<\/strong>. In contrast, The Sims 4 currently has 57 content packs, split between expansion, stuff, and game packs, and the recent addition of smaller packs called kits. Mind you, these 30-odd further <\/em>packs that The Sims 4 has don\u2019t add much that The Sims 3 didn\u2019t have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, Sims 3 packs like The Sims 3: Supernatural, have been divided into The Sims 4: Werewolves, Vampires, Paranormal Stuff, Realm of Magic, and Spooky Stuff. One pack essentially hacked up into five costly purchases. It\u2019s difficult to put a number to how much the entire Sims 4 catalog will cost you. However, through research, we can give you a number – no less than $900<\/strong>. That is grotesque.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
