I would like to play Sims Life stories
I miss playing Sims 2 Castaway, and Sims 2 Life stories. I even miss playing Sims 2 Life story Pets. I don't have the downloaded version. Because I did not get the download version, because I was not aware of it at the time. I am a fan of the Sims, I started playing Sims 2, I never really got into one. But Sims 2 is the one that caught my eye. I like creating stories and playing with life. I have bought the games on disk, but downloading is much easier and faster. I would love to get these versions of the games, too. I have bought Sims 2, 3, and 4. I have bought the expansion packs. The game helps me to destress and just have fun, do things I dream of doing but never had the guts to do. I use my imagination. Oh, I play Sims 3, I am having trouble with the downloading. I am not getting all my content I've purchased for the game. I have downloaded with the EA app, but it's not anywhere in my gameplay. I ordered Monte Vista and Roaring Heights, not the golden version, just the regular one. I like my sims being romantic and making a house into a home. This all I have to say. Thank you for making Sims.
Please Remaster The Urbz, Bustin' Out & Castaway
Hello EA Team, I just wanted to say that The Urbz is still my favorite Sims game of all time. I know I'm not the only fan who would love to see it return. A remaster or a re-release of The Urbz, The Sims: Bustin' Out, and The Sims 2: Castaway would make so many longtime fans happy. These games had a unique charm that still hasn't been replaced. Seeing the return of older games like MySims has given many of us hope that one day these classic console Sims games might come back too. Thank you for everything you do, and thank you for listening to your community. I really hope you'll consider bringing these classics back someday. ❤️Plumrobert’s Highly Official Guide to The Sims Discord
Plumrobert’s Highly Official Guide to The Sims Discord Editor’s Note: The Sims news team received the following article in an email with this subject line: “The Next Post for My Personal Blog.” We didn’t ask questions. Hello. I'm Plumrobert. This is a dashingly handsome picture of me: As my name suggests, I resemble a Plumbob (you know, the green diamond from The Sims), but with much better looks. And a winning personality. Welcome to my personal blog. Some people are insisting this is still The Sims News. I don't really see the difference. Anyway, while they're distracted, I thought I'd tell you about my favorite place on the internet: The Sims Discord. It's full of builders, storytellers, Create a Sim perfectionists, and people who make suspiciously specific life choices for their Sims. If you haven't joined us on Discord yet, you should. Just... don't mention I sent you. I'm seeing how long I can get away with writing here. Here's the important part: There's always something happening. Weekly Challenges. Chances to win prizes. Big community events with daily activities. We'll get to all of it, but naturally, we're starting with my specialty.

Hi everyone, I play more than one Sims game, and my mods ended up scattered across four folders with four different ways of doing things. Every mod manager I tried only handled a single game, usually Sims 4. That is why I built my own instead of using an existing one: I wanted all my mods for all four games centralized in one place. The Sims Mod Manager is a free desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. What it does right now: One library for The Sims 1, 2, 3 and 4, and the UI re-themes itself to match whichever game you are managing (it even plays the classic Sims 1 UI sounds) Finds your mods folders automatically, including localized folder names and Ultimate Collection installs One click enable and disable, nothing is ever deleted Reads .package files to show real thumbnails and a content breakdown instead of a plain file list Warns about conflicts when two enabled mods share a file name If a game has no mods folder yet, it creates one with the framework files the game needs, like the Sims 3 Resource.cfg It is an early version, so expect some rough edges. I would love feedback, bug reports and feature ideas. Down the line I want to add The Sims Medieval, the SimCity games and maybe even inZOI and Paralives.

Dear Developers, I am writing to you regarding the Ukrainian localization of The Sims games. The Ukrainian community is eager for this and ready to collaborate. We understand your concerns, but we have teams that are ready to offer their full commitment and will be fully engaged in the process of creating such a project. I don’t have any specific details, but I’m writing to find out if you have any plans for such projects and if you have any thoughts on the matter. Thank you for your attention!Sim Medieval cant play new world
My husband recently **bleep** with all my EA files because he wanted space on the C drive. He uninstalled EA and all saves and sims 3. He knew Medievalnis my fave so he didnt uninstall not realising he **bleep** my game. He reinstalled the save files when he realised I lost all my achievments but since then when I try and start a new ambition and world it tells me I have to make TWO sims to start and Im stuck looking at the castle. I can only make a monarch and knight but omce I do it says I still need to make one sim to start playing, but there is no other options and I cant scroll around. Ive repaired the game in the app twice and its still happening. I dont know whats going on.Console vs handheld
Can some please explain why the console sims games i can start a family and play it like a life simulator, what its supposed to be, but on every version on handheld whether it be gba or psp, its some dumb episodic side quest stuff? Like is it really so hard for a mobile sims game to be oh I don't know the actual sims?The Sims 4: The Social Evolution Update
Dear Sims Development Team, I am reaching out to share a concept for a future update or expansion that focuses on evolving the social mechanics within The Sims 4. While the current gameplay offers a deep solo experience, there is a massive opportunity to bridge the gap between life simulation and modern social media. The idea is to develop an integrated "Sims Social" platform where the game itself acts as the primary medium for real-life interaction. The core features of this update would include: Live Social Interaction: Creating a seamless way for players to visit other users' lots in real-time, allowing for authentic "hang outs" and meetups. Integrated Communication: A robust, in-game chat and social interface that mimics the feel of a modern social network, letting players connect through their Sims' lives. Persistent Social Connectivity: Shifting the focus toward living through your Sim as a digital avatar to interact with friends, attend virtual events, and build community in a shared, lived-in world. The Sims has always been about telling stories. By allowing players to interact more directly within each other’s spaces, you would be taking the next logical step in making the game a true "real-life" social experience. Thank you for your time and for everything you do to keep the world of The Sims growing. Best regards, JaneThaGamer
A Sims Pack You Disliked But Now You Love
Well, the title is self-explanatory. 😉 Which is a Sims pack (in all the installments: The Sims, The Sims 2, The Sims 4, and The Sims 4) that you disliked in the beginning but grew to love absolutely? What would you change about it, or not? Please let me know in the comments below! Thank you and happy Simming!Just a suggestion
IDK but to me it seems like we do need that change to the Sims now to where they can actually speak English and not gibberish now that's not to say that the gibberish is not iconic for the Sims it really makes up the characters but In my opinion alone I think the company should switch the Sims to talking plain English now but only try it on 1 platform which should be for the PC if you transition the Sims this way into proper English talking with different voices to choose from I think you'd stand to make more money 🤑 and open the future sums up for other platforms to make even more games just like it if it works out.
Happy St. Patrick's Day 2026!
Happy St. Patrick's Day y'all! Here are some of my simself's friends and alter egos who are of Irish descent. Rich and his father Mr. Larry McFreely, Blake and his uncle Derek, Emperor Roman and his husband Wizard Brandon, Emperor Roman's sister and mother Princess Yulianna and Queen Maria.Request for Port/ Remaster: The Sims Bustin' Out for Nintendo Switch
With the recent success and positive reception of the MySims Cozy Bundle on the Nintendo Switch, it really feels like the perfect time to bring back one of the most beloved console entries in the franchise: The Sims Bustin’ Out. For many longtime fans, Bustin’ Out was not just another Sims game. It had a personality and charm that felt completely unique. The objective-based Bust Out Mode gave players a clear sense of progression that made every move to a new house feel exciting and meaningful. Instead of just building endlessly, you were working toward something, unlocking new opportunities, meeting unforgettable characters, and slowly climbing your way through the world. The characters themselves were a huge part of the magic. People still remember personalities like Mom and Uncle Phil because they made the game feel alive and a little bit strange in the best possible way. There was humor, weirdness, and heart baked into the experience that hasn’t quite been replicated in the same way since. For a lot of players, this game holds a deep nostalgic place in their childhood memories. It was the kind of game you could spend hours with, discovering new interactions, completing goals, and feeling like you were part of a quirky little universe. Those memories have stuck with many of us for years. The structure of Bustin’ Out would also translate incredibly well to modern handheld gaming. The mission-style progression and clear goals feel perfectly suited for the pick-up-and-play style of the Switch. Whether it’s a faithful port or a polished remaster, there’s a huge audience of both returning fans and new players who would love to experience this classic again. With the continued popularity of life simulation and cozy games on the Switch, bringing The Sims Bustin’ Out back could introduce an entirely new generation to a truly special chapter in Sims history. A lot of classic games fade away over time, but this one still lives vividly in the memories of fans. It would be amazing to see it given a second life on modern hardware. Would anyone else love to see Bustin’ Out return on the Switch? 🎮
