As you already know (and if not, we'll remind you right now), The sims 4 can now be downloaded without paying absolutely nothing. EA broke the news a few weeks ago pointing out that from now on, the famous life simulation game would happen to be Free to Play For anyone who was interested in playing it. Would you like to have it on your PC/Mac, Xbox or PlayStation? Well, you are in the right place. We will tell you below how to download it at home from one of the aforementioned platforms.
EA has realized that the business is elsewhere. Leaving his mythical game of The sims 4, will concentrate all its energies in two ways: on the one hand, in continuing to develop The sims 5, of which we are already knowing some brushstrokes; on the other, to continue making cash with game expansions, which today make up a long list.
So once the strategy is understood, let's get to what interests us: teaching you how to download the title on your preferred platform. Aim.
