Author: Elijah Feb 18,2025

The Sims franchise celebrates its 25th anniversary this year! To mark this milestone, EA is rolling out a series of updates and events across various platforms, including mobile.

The Sims, initially conceived as a SimCity spin-off, revolutionized gaming by offering unprecedented control over the lives of simulated individuals. Players guide their Sims through life's milestones, from childhood to adulthood, marriage, parenthood, and beyond. This innovative approach spawned a whole genre and cemented The Sims' place as a gaming giant, leading to the creation of a dedicated Sims news website.
