The Sims 4 Base Game Available FREE for a Limited Time

Origin has one week only, offering The Sims 4 Base Game (Standard Edition) for FREE. The game will remain in your Origin library even after the promotion has ended. Click to redeem!  Offer ends May 28th at 10am Pacific.

I see some people in the comments who are very suspicious of this, but let me explain a few things to set some of your minds at ease.

1) Is this the real site for Sims 4?
Yes. origin.com is the authentic seller of The Sims 4. This site is legit

2)It’s making me pay for an Origin subscription for $5+ a month!
I’m sure they are trying to market this service to you when you go to redeem the game. Don’t worry, you don’t NEED a paid subscription. Think of it like Amazon Prime. With a subscription some games are available to you for free, but games are still available individually. This promotion is temporary but the game is truly free and can be redeemed on a free account. Decline the offers for the subscription and redeem the base game (not the deluxe edition. That one you need to pay for). You might have to tell them you don’t want the subscription a couple times, but you do not need to subscribe to get the game.

3)Why would they do this?? It must be a scam! They need to make money somehow!
Yes they do. And this does actually benefit them. The Sims 4 originally came out in 2014. It’s about 5 years old now which is considered a bit outdated for a video game. At this point… most people are not buying Sims 4 anymore, and they certainly aren’t buying it at full price! By letting a lot of players get the base game for free, people are going to get really into the game and want more content. And those people might buy expansion packs and add ons. It’s the same basic principle as almost any free game on the market. You get the game free and if you want extra material, you pay for that. But the base game is TRULY free! You don’t NEED to buy extra content, but SOME people will, and that is how they are making money by offering the game for free. The game is perfectly playable without the extra content.

4)So the game is only good until May 28?? // What if my computer can’t handle Sims 4!? I don’t want to miss out!
Fret not. Once the game is in your Origin library it will stay there until such time as Origin removes the game from their store completely. You do NOT have to download the game at this time. You just need a free Origin account and you add Sims 4 to your game library. You can always download it at another time. It doesn’t have to be today or even before the end of the promotion. The only thing you have to do before the promotion ends is add it to your game library on Origin.
