Margot Robbie keeps making millenials’ dreams come true, first with the Barbie movie and now with a Sims movie.

If The Sims dominated your childhood like the rest of us, you’ll want to read on about the movie Margot Robbie is reportedly making.

The Sims remains one of the biggest titles in computer gaming so it’s a surprise that it’s only now getting a film adaptation and we're already predicting it to have a Barbie-movie feel to it.

It's been confirmed Margot Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerley's production company, Lucky Chap, are producing a Sims movie along with Vertigo Entertainment and Kate Herron, who will also co-write the screenplay.

Here’s what we know about The Sims movie so far.

When is The Sims movie coming out?

The Sims movie is in its very early stages, with the adaptation only being confirmed by EA in September 2024, six months after reports around the film first emerged.

However, it could still be a couple of years before it comes out.

We’ll update this page with any more news that emerges around the release date.

What will The Sims movie be about?

On the 17th of September, EA’s vice president spoke to Variety revealing that ‘The Sims’ adaptation would please the fans with “a lot of lore.”

“What I will tell you is it’s very much rooted in ‘The Sims’ universe, "And what we want is to have a truly authentic ‘Sims’ experience brought to a theatrical release. So what you’ll see from us is that we have been wanting to get this right."

“You will see a lot of ‘The Sims’ universe come to life and you will see a lot of the classic experiences that our players have in the games come to life in the movie… There will be Freezer Bunnies. I’m sure a pool without a ladder is somewhere in there, but we haven’t finalized any of those details,” she told the publication.

Who is in The Sims movie?

A cast is yet to be decided for The Sims movie given the early stages production discussions are in. However, over on X, formerly Twitter, Bella Goth has been trending as fans discuss which actress should play the character who’s appeared in the game since its early versions.

Sydney Sweeney and Rachel Zegler's names appear to be high on fans' lists, while others suggested Katy Perry in honour of the iconic video of her singing Simlish.
