Celebrate 25 Years of 'The Sims' with Exciting Updates and Livestreams

The Sims Celebrates 25 Years with Massive Franchise-Wide Updates!

This year marks a significant milestone for the iconic life simulation game, The Sims – its 25th anniversary! To commemorate this momentous occasion, Electronic Arts (EA) is rolling out a series of celebratory updates across the entire franchise, including mobile versions.

Initially conceived as an offshoot of the SimCity series, The Sims revolutionized gaming by offering players unprecedented control over the lives of their virtual characters. From childhood to adulthood, marriage, careers, and beyond, players shaped the destinies of their Sims, creating a genre-defining experience that remains incredibly popular today. The enduring success of The Sims is a testament to its innovative gameplay and its ability to resonate with players across generations. In fact, the impact is so significant that we even created a dedicated website for The Sims news!

Mobile Mania!

The anniversary festivities extend to mobile platforms, with substantial updates hitting The Sims FreePlay and The Sims Mobile. The Sims FreePlay has already launched its "FreePlay 2000" update, immersing players in a nostalgic Y2K experience. This update includes new live events, a 25-day gifting extravaganza, and much more! The Sims Mobile is also joining the celebration, offering two free gifts to players throughout its birthday week, commencing March 4th.
