The Sims 4 has been around now for over a decade, meaning there are likely plenty of people reading this who are young enough for it to be the first and only entry in the series they’ve played. Now, ignoring how old that makes me feel, today’s news gives you an opportunity to enjoy the previous instalment, The Sims 3, at a lower price point because everything’s on sale! So whether you skipped it the first time, haven’t played it before, or are simply missing a few expansions, now’s a great way to get stuck in.
The sale is taking place across Steam and the EA App, so wherever you prefer to play, you can enjoy some tantalising discounts with a whopping 50% off all The Sims 3 games. That’s right. Everything. Into the Future, Movie Stuff, Island Paradise, University Life, Diesel Stuff, and so on are all half-price. Don’t worry if you need to think about it, either. The sale is sticking around until February 10th, giving you plenty of time to decide which expansions to pick up.
The Sims 3 is often on sale, so don’t feel too pressured
And fear not if you’re worried about how well a sixteen-year-old game will run on modern machines. The Sims 3 was recently updated for this exact reason, so you can expect it to run like a dream without any issues. Of course, no two PCs ever seem to function the same way, so it’s never a guarantee.
Sales on The Sim 3 and even 4 are commonplace these days. However, we’ll always let you know when another comes up, so stay tuned to The Sims News. There are so many expansions on offer. I doubt many people have all of them. So, tactically waiting is a great way to slowly collect each one and save some cash. We just have to wait for EA to feel generous again.
