You may want to enjoy The Sims 4 Expansion Pack, but you want to get it for free. Now, the question is, is it possible to get a Sims 4 Expansion pack for free? Well, if you access Youtube, there are some videos which the title is about getting the Sims 4 Expansion pack for free. However, actually if you want the videos, it is the free trial version. If you want to get the full version, you have to buy it.
In Quora, there is also a question about how to get Sims 4 Expansion packs for free. A user named Mark Stinson answered that the only legitimate free source for Sims 4 stuff is to have someone gift it to you. Then, he also explained that another alternative is to wait many years in the hope that EA gives it away like they did with the Sims 2 Ultimate Edition a few years back.
Another user on Quora named Krushant Patel said that you are not able to get it for free. But, he said that you can get it for free if you pirate. However, it is of course illegal and it is not recommended to do. Joanna But also responded to this question about getting Sims 4 expansion for free. She said that you cannot get it for free legally. All the methods which teach you to get it for free are illegal and have criminal charges associated with them. Furthermore, she said that the Sims 4 often has sales on expansion packs where they are half off ($20) or you are able to create a bundle with one expansion pack, one game pack and one stuff pack for $50 where normally it is $70.
If now, you are not able to buy it because you do not have money, you can save you money from now on. Then, after the money is gathered, you can buy the Sims 4 expansion packs. Don’t try to use illegal methods by pirating and any other criminal ways. Be wise and honest.
