Choose their fashions, select their hairstyles, and give them life aspirations. And The Sims series by Electronic Arts is possibly the most known game in this category.

Youve got another more harmless and entertaining solution: social simulators. “Express your creativity as you customise your Sims’ distinct appearances and unique personalities. Living a new life isnt always possible, but you can always resort to social networks to invent one, although it might be slightly embarrassing if you get caught out.

“Enjoy the power to create and control people in a virtual world without rules in The Sims 4 game,” the official game description explains. It should be noted that this will be the standard edition of the game launched back in 2014, so no funny hats of expansion packs. The game can be added to your account both through logging in through your browser or by using the Origin launcher. Strangely, I was forced to add it to my Wishlist before I could find the option to download it for free, which may just have been my own experience. You will need to set up an EA Origin account if you have never had one before, meaning extra steps before you can claim The Sims 4 for free.

The process of claiming The Sims 4 is pretty simple to do you just need to head over to the official Origin website, click on The Sims 4 icon and scroll down until you find the “Buy Now - Starting at $0.00,” option.
