The Sims 4 just recently celebrated its eighth birthday earlier this month, so it seems like a bizarre time to suddenly make the base game free to play. 'With The Sims 4 going free to play, our team is more dedicated than ever to developing new and meaningful The Sims 4 experiences for our players and we will continue to develop and release packs, kits, and Sims Delivery Express drops into the foreseeable future,' EA added.

All platform owners of Sims 4 will receive the Desert Luxe Kit as a free 'thank you' gift, which includes 'luxurious indoor and outdoor furniture, inspired by the natural landscape of the Southwestern desert and materials like stone and wood.' EA Play members will be enticed with a free Get To Work Expansion Pack if you don't already own it, and EA Play Pro members will get that as well as the Toddler Stuff Pack. But what of players that already own The Sims 4? Well, depending on your platform, you've got an assortment of goodies coming your way.
