While The Sims 4 is a free game nowadays, you can certainly spend a sizable chunk of change scooping up all its many pieces of DLC and expansions. Fortunately, EA occasionally throws us a bone by giving players one of its add-ons as a free DLC, and as the weather starts to turn towards the warmer months it's done just that again. While we await news on Project Rene and the Sims 5, you'll now be able to freshen up your outdoor decor with cosmetics and activities for nothing.

Like all stuff packs, The Sims 4 Backyard stuff would typically set you back $10 (£9), so while it's one of the cheaper offerings normally the chance to snag it for free is certainly worth jumping on.

It also includes a bird feeder and a variety of wind chimes to further upgrade your outdoor areas. As someone who's played a lot of the base game, I did find the outdoor options to be fairly lacking, so this is likely a very welcome addition for anyone who is playing The Sims 4 as a free Steam game.
The Sims 4 Backyard Stuff is yours for free if you claim it before Saturday April 13. You can get it on Steam or through EA's own store, so make sure to add it to your before then to dodge its usual $9.99/£8.99 price tag.
