As of now, there is no alternate monetization model implemented into the game. There’s no strings attached with the release – just pick up the game and go! Given the crazy amount of DLC that already exists of the game, EA’s monetization likely has a plenty-reliable source.
This isn’t the first time the Sims 4 has been free, but those instances weren’t quite so permanent. If you’re looking for a recommendation, dive right in to our vary own review of the game here on COGconnected. According to our review, the game “distils the essence of playing God into its purest, most potent form and lets players live out their vicarious fantasies in ways they could never do in real life.”
Now that Sims 4 is free, will you be picking it up? Do you have any special antics planned? Or do you not have any interest in the game? If you’re in that last camp, why did you even read this article? Otherwise, we’d love to hear your insights in the comments down below!
