When we think of landmark franchises in gaming, titles 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' iconic series, 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 daily lives of regular individuals. Players have unprecedented control over their Sims, guiding them through life's milestones from childhood to adulthood, career, family, and beyond.
The Sims franchise is a powerhouse in the gaming world, sparking an entire genre and maintaining its popularity across various platforms. It's no wonder that our company has even launched a dedicated website for The Sims news! To celebrate this quarter-century milestone, EA is rolling out a series of events across all iterations, from The Sims 4 to The Sims FreePlay.
