The Sims turns 25 this year, and Electronic Arts is pulling out all the stops to celebrate. From its early days as a SimCity spin-off to becoming one of the most beloved storytelling games in history, The Sims has touched the lives of millions. Chances are, you’ve spent countless hours building dream homes, orchestrating chaotic family drama, or just setting your Sims on fire—just for fun.
What’s Planned for The Sims’ 25th Birthday?
EA is marking this milestone with an epic 25-day celebration filled with free gifts for players. That’s right—25 exclusive items, one dropping each day, but only if you log in daily. Miss a day, miss the gift. No makeups, no exceptions.
The festivities run through the end of February 2025 and span the entire Sims franchise. Expect special updates, rereleases, live events, and fresh content designed to bring both longtime fans and newcomers into the fold.
For The Sims Mobile, the birthday week kicks off on March 4th with two free gifts available to everyone who logs in during that time. EA is also teaming up with Spotify to deliver the ultimate Sims playlist—a nostalgic trip featuring the biggest musical hits that have soundtracked our Sims' lives over the years.
It’s a Blast from the Past!
Get ready to dust off those retro vibes with The Sims FreePlay, which is diving deep into early 2000s nostalgia. In honor of the 25th anniversary, FreePlay is rolling out themed content that’ll transport you straight back to the days of chunky flip phones, frosted hair tips, and velour tracksuits.
Two exciting new live events, The One with the Coffee Shop and Reality Island, offer a fun and familiar twist on gameplay. Meanwhile, the Social Town update introduces stylish new homes, a helicopter feature, and a fully loaded museum that showcases key moments from FreePlay’s own history.
Ready to join the party? Don’t forget to check out The Sims Mobile and FreePlay on the Google Play Store for the latest updates and exclusive birthday content.
