Sims 4 Deluxe has been available on EA Play, including the Dine Out and Kid's Room packs. Sims 4 is not expected to be taken off EA Play when switching to free-to-play, but that could be subject to change.

Sims 4 DLC is broken up into a few categories. Expansion Packs and Game Packs add the most to the game, including new worlds, characters, gameplay features, and cosmetics. Stuff Packs and Kits include mostly cosmetic items like furniture, clothing, and building items and can add many gameplay elements like pets, laundry, paranormal investigating, and much more.

Newer DLC packs like Cottage Living and the Werewolf pack are a little more expensive, but older packs like City Living and Spa Day can add just as much to the gameplay, depending on how you like to play. DLCs are definitely worth exploring to find ones that stand out to you. With Sims 4 free-to-play on October 18, 2022, there will be plenty of possibilities for DLC sales and discounts.
