The Sims 4 Is Giving Away a Free DLC Pack

EA is currently giving away The Sims 4Backyard Stuff DLC. The limited-time promo adds to the growing list of The Sims 4 content packs that have been treated to 100% discounts in recent times.
Since the game's 2014 debut, EA and Maxis have released 15 The Sims 4 expansions and over 60 smaller DLC packs. Most of those add-ons regularly go on sale, although it's much rarer to see any being given away for free. But that's precisely the kind of offer that has now been extended to the Backyard Stuff pack.
The newly debuted 100% discount on this DLC is available across all platforms. PC players have a particularly wide array of options to choose from, as Backyard Stuff can be claimed via Steam, Epic Games Store, the EA App, or a combination thereof. Meanwhile, Xbox and PlayStation gamers can grab the DLC via their console's storefronts. Although EA did not specify how long the promotion would last, the pack's Microsoft Store page indicates that its 100% discount expires on April 13. A month-long window of opportunity to claim this add-on for free matches the length of other recent promos that saw The Sims 4 give away some of its DLC.
While Backyard Stuff is regularly priced at $9.99, thus being among the more affordable add-ons for the game, it's also one of the better The Sims 4 content packs in terms of its bang-to-buck ratio. Specifically, this DLC comes with 40 Build Mode furniture items and 25 cosmetics usable in the Create a Sim menu. Water slides, drink trays, a sun rug, and multiple floral arrangements are part of the package, as are a variety of outdoor tables, chairs, and quirky garden decorations.
The included clothing and hairstyles mostly lean on the casual side, keeping in line with the laid-back garden party theme of the DLC. Since Backyard Stuff was released in July 2016, it has never dropped below $4.99 on PC and $6.99 on consoles up until right now.
Given EA's recent track record, it is plausible that the company might opt to give away yet another one of the game's add-ons come spring, as it has lately been running such promos on a quarterly basis. In the meantime, Maxis isn't done churning out content for its hit game, with the latest The Sims 4 DLC just hitting the digital store shelves in late February, having arrived in the form of the Crystal Creations Stuff Pack.
The Sims 4 is the latest entry in EA's iconic social simulation series. Like its predecessors, The Sims 4 lets players create characters known as Sims, with their appearance, dress sense, and personality all being customizable.
The Sims 4's main innovation to the series was The Gallery, which lets players upload and download custom-made Sims, houses, and other creations.
