The main moneymaker continues to lie in The Sims 4's countless expansion packs, but this is also the first time I can recall that EA has made any of its Sims games free while it was still current.

It's worth emphasising that it is just the base game that's becoming free-something that has pretty regularly gone on sale for around $5 to $10 for the last few years now and received a permanent price cut back in April. See tos.ea.com/legalapp/eaplay/US/en/PC/ for details.Hours before the official announcement word had already been going around-the game's Origin store page was already displaying a big ol' banner proclaiming 'The Sims 4 will be free to play starting October 18.' Instant Gaming also managed to get its hands on two screenshots advertising that the base game was free, which have been circulating on Twitter for most of the day. *Conditions, limitations and exclusions apply.
