The Sims franchise celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, with festivities spanning numerous releases, including mobile titles. The Sims FreePlay features new Y2K-themed content in its "FreePlay 2000" update.
When discussing gaming's landmark franchises, names like Doom, Wolfenstein, The Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, Super Mario, and Tetris often arise. However, Maxis's The Sims deserves equal recognition, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year!
Initially conceived as a SimCity spin-off, The Sims offered unprecedented control over simulated lives, from childhood to adulthood, marriage, careers, parenthood, and ultimately, death. Its enduring popularity across various iterations cemented its place as a genre-defining franchise. The series' impact is significant enough that our company even launched a dedicated website for The Sims news! EA is commemorating this milestone with celebrations across all platforms, from The Sims 4 to The Sims FreePlay.

Mobile players can anticipate significant updates for The Sims FreePlay and The Sims Mobile. The Sims FreePlay's "FreePlay 2000" update delivers a nostalgic Y2K experience, complemented by new live events and a "25 Days of Gifting" promotion. The Sims Mobile offers two free gifts during its birthday week, commencing March 4th.
