The Sims 4 base game is going free starting Oct. 18. Ahead of the release, EA and Maxis announced that the life simulator’s latest game kit, Desert Luxe, will be free to download until Oct. 18 for players who already own the base game.
The Desert Luxe kit includes multiple pieces of Southwestern desert-inspired furniture in neutral shades. According to the kit’s description page, the pieces — which can serve indoor or outdoor locations — add a “luxurious and understated” style to your Sims’ environment.
EA introduced kits, smaller $5 DLCs for the base game, in March 2021. If you already own The Sims 4, here’s how to redeem your free copy of Desert Luxe on Origin, the EA app and Steam.
