"\n\n\n<p>The life simulation The Sims 4 is one of the most successful games of the recent past.  After all, it has more than 36 million users worldwide and a turnover of over a billion US dollars if the income from all expansions is also included in the calculation.  Soon you will be able to get the game completely for free.</p><h2 class=\"anchorHeadline\">The Sims 4 will soon be Free2Play</h2><p>Publisher Electronic Arts has announced that The Sims 4 will be available as a free download on October 18, 2022.  Then you will be able to download and play the life simulation on PC and consoles without paying a dime.  The Free2Play version includes the main game, but not the numerous expansions that have come onto the market over the past few years.</p>\n\n<p>Speaking of expansion: the move to the Free2Play model does not mean that there will be no more new content for The Sims 4 (buy now €9.99).  The opposite is the case: Electronic Arts has already confirmed that they want to publish more add-ons, additional packs and sets.  Some of these are already in development, but there are no concrete details on this yet.  This could change soon, because the publisher announced a live stream event for October 18, 2022.  At \"Behind the Sims Summit\" the developers want to give you a glimpse of the near future of The Sims.  There may then also be concrete information about the next expansions.  The stream starts at 7:00 p.m. German time and will be broadcast at both <a href=\"https://www.twitch.tv/thesims\" title=\"Twitch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitch</a> as well as at <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSims\" title=\"YouTube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube</a> be visible.</p>\n<p>Also popular with PC games readers</p> <img alt=\"Breaking: Amazon might buy EA today!
