Apr 10,2025 Author: Peyton

When we talk about landmark franchises in gaming, names like Doom, Wolfenstein, The Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, Super Mario, and Tetris often come to mind. However, one cannot overlook the monumental impact of Maxis' The Sims, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Originally conceived as a spin-off from the SimCity series, The Sims revolutionized gaming by focusing on simulating the everyday lives of ordinary people. Players have been given unparalleled control over their Sims, guiding them through life's milestones from birth to, well, the inevitable end.

The Sims has not only become one of the largest franchises in gaming but has also pioneered a whole genre that remains immensely popular across its various iterations. It's no wonder that our company has dedicated an entire website to The Sims news! To celebrate this significant 25-year milestone, EA is rolling out extensive celebrations across all platforms, including The Sims 4 and The Sims FreePlay.

For mobile gamers, The Sims FreePlay and The Sims Mobile are at the forefront of these celebrations. The Sims FreePlay has already introduced the FreePlay 2000 update, immersing players in a nostalgic trip back to the Y2K era. This update includes new live events, 25 days of gifting, and much more. Meanwhile, The Sims Mobile is offering two free gifts to players during its birthday week, starting March 4th.
