The Sims 4, known for its immersive simulation experience, recently made a significant shift by adopting a completely free-to-play model. While its initial release drew criticism for stripping away many freedoms offered in the series' previous games, The Sims 4 has managed to rectify its course, and it is now available for free on every platform.
However, seasoned Sims fans are well aware that the series' trademark lies in its expansion packs. Despite The Sims 4 being free to play, the quintessential Sims experience often involves investing in these expansion packs to enrich the gameplay.
