The Sims On Social Media

It's equal parts impressive and terrifying to think that in just two weeks, The Sims series will be celebrating its 25th birthday. The original Sims game graced our computers in all its isometric glory on February 4 in 2000, giving us full reign over the lives of folk in a virtual dollhouse. Four core games, dozens of expansion packs add-ons, and countless spin-offs later, and The Sims is, by and large, one of the most influential games to ever hit PC.

PC Gamer recently got to sit down and chat with Lyndsay Pearson, vice president of franchise creative for The Sims, and whose history with the series goes all the way back to The Sims: Vacation in 2002. Having just hosted the Behind the Sims presentation—dropping news of a sizeable base game update for The Sims 4, including a townie home refresh, and the re-release of two MySims games on PC—Pearson spoke a little on the past of the series, as well as what's happening right now and what's to come.
