SimGuru Emory posted this in a since deleted tweet. Last time we were told sims 4 has sold over 5 million copies with a 5 million pin, and now it's 10m. Discuss, and keep it civil! Has the sims 4 sold 10 million copies world wide? I think so! All the badges are organized by pack, and the only ones with numbers are right below the base game badge :) https://simsvip.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/IMG-9710-1.jpg

That’s impressive as the Sims 2 did 6 million+ on PC, and Sims 3 did 7+ million. Sims 2 is over 13 million all platforms in 2012, Sims 3 was at 10 million all platforms in 2014. That said, we’re in an age where piracy is harder as it stops people exploring the full game and is super buggy which forces people to buy. So there’s provably plenty of people who downloaded 2 & 3 illegally as it was easier. So that’s an advantage to 4 overall.Still, it’s awesome that it’s hit such a huge milestone so early in it’s supposed life span. Guess that’s why they’re keeping it going, it’s not slowing down.

It helps that Sims 4 has a ton of packs that often go on sale on Origin. The stuff pack sales alone probably contributed a lot to Sims 4's sales.If the golden pins represent significant base game patches, what does the sim with the plus sign represent? The gender options patch?

So I recently watched the video where SimGuruLydnsay confirmed that TS4 sold over 5 million and realized that the interview was taken during a City Living pre-release event, rather than after the toddler update as I previously thought. This further confirms these pins refer to TS4’s sales numbers.https://www.youtube.com/wGt3AW_ROQ0(around 3:00 into this video she’s asked about the 5 million rumor)

I noticed that button doesn't have a plumbbob which is always associated with the pc version. Is this for the mobile games since it is different?

Mobile is free - it does not get "# sold" buttons, and that Guru sharing the pic of his pins is one of our pc/mac Guru's.

Maybe it's ten million freezer bunnies eaten, used in game etc.? Or ten million downloads of the something. It's different, that has to mean something. Ten million followers on twitter? :p

It’s sales.
Since they aren’t supposed to share the sales, the Guru deleted the picture as soon as someone pointed it out.

So we know it’s sales :)

Great news!

Slightly unrelated, but what do the yellow pins represent?
