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 were given unprecedented control over their Sims, guiding them through life's milestones from childhood to adulthood, marriage, career, and beyond.
The Sims has not only become one of the largest franchises in gaming but has also pioneered a whole genre, maintaining its popularity across various iterations. It's no wonder that our company has dedicated an entire website to The Sims news. To celebrate this quarter-century milestone, EA is rolling out major events across all platforms, including The Sims 4 and The Sims FreePlay.

For mobile gamers, The Sims FreePlay and The Sims Mobile are receiving significant updates to mark this special occasion. The Sims FreePlay has introduced the FreePlay 2000 update, immersing players in a nostalgic journey back to the turn of the millennium with Y2K-themed content. This update also includes new live events and a 25-day gifting celebration. On the other hand, The Sims Mobile is offering two free gifts to players during its birthday week, starting March 4th.
