Yes and to answer the other posts it has been given away free before even though currently this deal is just a rumour & hasn’t been officially confirmed the picture says get the game as it was given away before so the person could redownload it (a bit like when people see free on psn for themselves only because of a trial or redownload or plus & they forgot, HotUkDeals often gets rumour game posts nowadays, usually they turn out to be true though, but sometimes like the recent PS+ ones that said sekiro was going free, not always correct. But I wouldn’t be surprised if this one is true (edited)
My GF looked at me with horror and disgust, and she still blames me for killing a woman, just because her husband was faithful to her.
Or not, it's a massive time sink and the base game is boring, even with DLC's it needs mods.
From memory you couldn't just walk around the neighbourhood like you used to
This whole thing simply is founded on the gambling addiction tricks used for decades by Casinos, mechanical or digital games as slots/roulette/ card games and the P2W/F2P model used in so many mobile or web games for like over 15 years now. (edited)
Although personally, I see this as a last cash grab before the launch of Sims 5. Sims 4 base game is a) donkeys years old and b) very cut down to 'encourage' people to buy the multitude of expansions out there.
At least it doesn't have lootboxes and microtransactions(so old, it predates them!). But I'd put a lot of money on Sims 5 being crammed with them. (edited)
Tried via steam and it says £17.99
