The Sims 4 will be free in October but I bought it at the time, my question is, will I get any more content than whoever gets it for free?

This is just how it is, it's a marketing tactic to get new people to play the base game which in turn will cause people to see what all is missing from the base game and they will more than likely open their wallets to purchase some dlc.

None. However it was your choice to purchase it as cold as that logic is, but then again you couldn't have known EA would do something like this. Nothing to do but accept it.

Will I at least be able to request a refund even though I played for more than two hours and purchased more than two weeks ago?

probably not, but you can give it a try if you wish so long as you have a legitimate reason for asking for the refund.

Have a $5 kit on the house, 'til the base goes free to play.

That's all you get unfortunately.

i would have figured the op saw that in another thread posted by elstar a few hours earlier and that works for everyone, new and old.

But i suspect that's not what the OP was asking for, i'm certain it was the idea that if someone brought it shortly before it went f2P, that it would entitle them to special treatment by having exclusive free content to make up for it from EA and that's not what's happening, there is no new additional content to make up for those who brought it recently.

Worse I didn't even buy it recently, I bought it in October last year

Then yes. You get a year of play time over the people getting it for free. Eventually, just about every game goes on sale for less than you bought it for, or even free (after 8 years). It's just how it works.

Yes, I would have figured that as well, but I cannot count how many times I've seen people not know about something because they don't do their research or don't have the time. You can actually miss getting the kit/dlc because it has to be added manually. And when that happens, there's gonna be that one person claiming entitlement because they missed it.
Automatically upgrading everyone's base to deluxe edition would've been better and actually doable because that's now going to be the new "base". Seen it done on some games here.

The Holiday DLC is also free. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1235764/The_Sims_4_Holiday_Celebration_Pack/

That holiday dlc has been free for as long as i can remember, i believe there is also a guitar you can get for "free" if you sign up to the ea email subscription service. i never did but it's there is you go looking for it.
