The Sims franchise celebrates its 25th anniversary this year! To mark this milestone, numerous titles across the franchise are receiving updates, including mobile versions. The Sims FreePlay is launching "FreePlay 2000," a Y2K-themed content update.
When considering gaming's landmark franchises, titles like Doom, Wolfenstein, The Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, Super Mario, and Tetris often come to mind. However, Maxis' The Sims—a series that revolutionized simulation gaming—also deserves recognition. This year marks its 25th anniversary!
Initially conceived as a SimCity spin-off, The Sims offered unprecedented control over the lives of simulated individuals. Players guided their Sims through life's milestones: childhood, education, marriage, careers, parenthood, and ultimately, death.
The franchise's enduring popularity across various iterations cemented its place as a gaming giant, spawning an entire genre. In fact, we've even dedicated a website to The Sims news! EA is commemorating this significant anniversary with celebrations across all platforms, from The Sims 4 to The Sims FreePlay.
Mobile Updates

The Sims FreePlay has already released "FreePlay 2000," a Y2K-themed update featuring new live events and a 25-day gifting event.
