Sul sul! The Sims and The Sims 2 are baaaaack! Here's how much each Legacy Collection bundle costs and what's included.
Get ready to have your hot tub stolen by the Pleasantview burglar... In honour of The Sims' 25th birthday, EA and Maxis have announced that they are re-releasing The Sims and The Sims 2!
The two classic games will available to purchase in The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle, which will also include 24 DLCs, and 2 kits for The Sims 4. Alternatively, you can purchase The Sims: Legacy Collection or The Sims 2: Legacy Collection separately if you prefer one game over the other.
Sadly, however, these two re-releases will only be available to purchase and play on Windows 10 and 11 which means Mac users will sadly have to miss out on all the nostalgic fun.
Here's all the info we know so far about The Sims and The Sims 2, including where to buy them, how much the bundles cost, what's in the bundles and everything in between.
The Sims and The Sims 2 will be available to purchase starting January 31st 2025. Players can purchase and download the games on PC in the following places:
The re-released versions of the games have been updated to run on modern computers and operating systems. The gameplay and graphics will remain the same.
Mac users will unfortunately not be able to play as the re-releases are for PC users only.
They're BACK! The Sims & The Sims 2 are available now across three bundles on PC via EA app for Windows, Steam and Epic Games Store 🎉 https://t.co/0NCGcPcWwt#TheSims25 pic.twitter.com/0h4msqrKZw
