The implication is that they'll be introduced after launch as paid DLC. The company caused some drama earlier in the summer when they announced that pools and toddlers, standard features of past Sims games, wouldn't be available in the base version of Sims 4. It's already a sore subject for Sims fans. They're not really in a rush to talk about paid DLC. It seems inevitable that EA would start selling DLC in bulk for other major franchises as well.ĮA hasn't officially announced Sims 4 Premium yet. For example, BF3 Premium was purchased by over 1.3 million players within nine months of that game's release. A substantial amount of gamers have opted for these bundles. The Battlefield series has offered Premium packages since Battlefield 3. The Sims 4's smaller DLC bundle could end up being far cheaper than that. BF4 Premium promises more to the user but it also has a $50 price tag. A full evaluation of Sims 4 Premium's value is hard to make without knowing the price, though.
