When? I haven't seen it on the house at Origin in all of 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. It released in September of 2014. Are you by chance referring to a different Sims game?

Looks like it may have been Sim City 2000 or Sims 4 that was free at some point. 

 

Edit: Theme Hospital was free twice.

Well which is it? And when was it? And when did it take place the 3 times that you mentioned?

 

I was able to find that it was available on a 48-hour trial as part of the old "Origin Game Time" back on January 22nd-23rd of 2015. But after that, it was not yours to keep for free forever.

 

I was also able to find out that The Sims 3 was available on a 7-day trial as part of "Origin Access" back on July 13th-20th of 2016. But just as before, it was not yours to keep for free forever after that.

 

Also, The Sims 3 was free to download on Origin back in 2015 if you already bought the base game.

Sorry about that. It was Theme Hospital that I was thinking of. It was free on Feb 2015 and then free again last year. Sims 2000 was free on April 2015 and it doesn't say where I got Sims 4 from.

It happens. No worries. If you already have The Sims 4 in your Origin account, there's no telling when and where you got it from if you don't remember purchasing it. There were a couple of trials it was on as I mentioned above after editing my comment. Maybe that's how you got it.
