He got the Sims 4 for a birthday present at initial release or a short time after, he didn't want to play it anymore in 2017, so he gave me the account.
#Sims 4 kits cheap for free
I got my Base game for free as I got my origin account from my cousin. It's expensive, yeah, but not every pack appeals to every person (for example, I'm not getting Batuu, Spooky Stuff, Paranormal Stuff or Wedding Stories (that one needs to be WAY less buggy before I can even consider it), buying on sale cuts the price in half at least and there have been a few instances where the base game is free. Once the Sims 5 starts, unless it's Sims 2 level mindblowing, I won't be moving over to it, I'll likely stick to the Sims 4 forever, giving me even more play time, making it even more worth the cost. I haven't played much the last 2 years because I've been so busy with work, Animal Crossing, Pokemon and moving into my own home, now I'll have better work hours, maybe playing will be back on the cards again. 2K hours so far, there could be thousands more for me. Not many games I own provide practically unlimited play time, except maybe Animal Crossing and Pokemon. With all the 2K hours I've put into it so far, and the fact I've mostly bought packs on sale when I can, especially game and stuff packs I only wanted one or two things from, its still been a cheap ish experience.
I do think I've got my moneys worth though, even with that high cost. Yes, it's still the player's responsibility to limit spending, but I think EA is also kind of scummy. EA does everything it can to encourage FOMO in its players, right down to not allowing you to filter the gallery efficiently because they want you to see all of the packs you're missing. I think you can both accept that people shouldn't voluntarily spend $1k+ on Sims if they don't think it's worth it and that they have personal responsibility, while SIMULTANEOUSLY believing that EA is very greedy and deserves to be called out for their pricing. And WoW has to actually maintain a persistent online world, host thousands of players daily on many servers, pay people to moderate social interactions, etc. World of Warcraft is a subscription based MMO and it costs less than that a year. Granted, you don't have to buy all of the packs, but it's nuts that a SINGLE PLAYER GAME should cost that much for the 'complete' experience. $1k over 7 years totals $150 a year, which still seems insane to me. It's not about what you can do, it's about the ridiculousness EA is offering as a standard. New players will obviously want to play what they want asap. I personally didn't enjoy getting a pack, playing 2 days and getting bored and waiting months.

"Nobody buys full price" so why does EA insist on releasing it that price when people know it's not worth it? Also the buying packs slowly over years only makes sense for those who did it at launch. People say wait till on sale is 1) still a lot of money and 2) is proving how messed up EA is that people agree it isn't worth the price and have to wait for sale. I'm saying if you did it doesn't seem nearly worth it especially for how buggy it is.
I could buy a high end model cell phone/PC for that price and if it had that many bugs I'd be guaranteed my money backĮdit: to reclarify I'm not saying you have to buy all packs. I'm sorry but I just can't imagine spending $1,300 to be given this sloppy garbage. Add that with the fact you pay ALL THIS MONEY AND THE SIMS DOESNT EVEN WORK PROPERLY BECAUSE OF THE BUGS I could list so many games that are 1/10th that price that have given me hundreds of hours of gameplay. I never thought about it this way until now but does nobody else think this is absolutely insane to spend on one game and dlc? Yes you could not buy everything (looking at you, Batuu) but even if you got your favourites you're still looking at hundreds of dollars and the packs are set up in such a way the game isn't even fun without a lot of them because each only brings a tiny snippet.
