The Sims 2,3,4 - together
Dear The Sims and Maxis Team, I would love to share a dream that I have as a fan of The Sims. I love The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and The Sims 4, but each game has something special that makes me wish I could combine them all into one. For me, the perfect Sims game would bring together: The Sims 2 — the heart and soul. The detailed personalities, memories, emotions, family relationships, unexpected situations, and little interactions that made Sims feel truly alive. The Sims 3 — the freedom. A beautiful, seamless open world where Sims can explore neighborhoods, visit friends, drive cars, and enjoy life without constant loading screens. The Sims 4 — the beauty and creativity. The wonderful character customization, beautiful hairstyles, clothing, expressive faces, and intuitive building tools. Imagine having all of this in one game! I would love to create beautiful homes, develop generations of families, explore an open world, and watch my Sims grow, fall in love, build friendships, and create unforgettable stories. I don’t want to choose between building, creating characters, and playing with families. I love all three equally! I truly believe that combining the best features of these games could create something extraordinary. Thank you for all the wonderful memories your games have given us. I hope that one day we will see a Sims game that brings together the magic of all these generations. With love and appreciation, Irina A Sims fan from Kamchatka, Russia 💜Online sims experience
The Sims Online – A Multiplayer Experience We Need! 🏡🌎 Dear The Sims Team, I would love to see a new version of The Sims featuring a fully immersive online multiplayer world! Imagine combining everything we love about The Sims with the social possibilities of an online game. Players could: Build their dream homes and live in shared neighborhoods. Invite real friends to become their neighbors. Develop careers, businesses, and relationships. Organize weddings, parties, and social events together. Visit restaurants, shops, and travel to different destinations. Choose between private neighborhoods with friends and larger public worlds. The most exciting feature would be a persistent world where players could develop their virtual lives alongside others. Think The Sims meets GTA Online and Animal Crossing, with the creativity, customization, and storytelling that make The Sims unique. I genuinely believe this could become an incredibly successful evolution of the franchise, especially with cross-platform multiplayer between PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Please consider bringing this concept to life! A Sims fan ❤️Request for Permission to Share an Academic Research Survey
Hi everyone! I’m a PhD candidate at the University of Carthage, Tunisia, conducting academic research on video games, including The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle. Could someone please advise me on how to contact a moderator to ask for permission to share an academic questionnaire? Alternatively, is there an appropriate section or channel where research surveys are permitted? I want to make sure I follow the community guidelines before sharing anything. Thank you for your help!

Hi everyone / EA Community Team, I'm seeking some clarification regarding EA's policy on fan-made projects and community-hosted revivals for legacy titles like The Sims Online. Recently, I've seen claims within The Sims Online fan project communities suggesting that certain custom server revivals have a "special agreement" or direct permission from EA to operate. However, EA’s official Content Policy states that game revivals, fan games, and community-run servers for old titles are not allowed. I wanted to ask for general clarification: Does EA ever enter into private legal agreements or grant official permission to fan groups to host revivals or fan-made servers for games like The Sims Online? Does the official Content Policy apply strictly across the board, meaning any The Sims Online fan project claiming to have a formal arrangement with EA is misrepresenting their legal standing? I'm just looking to better understand the official stance on legacy online games and fan-made revivals. Thanks for any insight!Commercial Concept Inquiry – The Sims Immersive VR & Haptic
Commercial Concept Inquiry – The Sims Immersive VR & Haptic Experience Hello, I have developed and documented a concept for an optional immersive experience designed specifically for The Sims, combining virtual reality, haptic interaction and an extensible interface for compatible hardware and third-party development. This is not simply a proposal for a first-person VR mode. The concept is designed around allowing players to enter and experience the persistent world they have created, while maintaining traditional gameplay as an option. I currently have a private concept proposal and a separate conceptual technical architecture document. Before providing those materials, I would like to know whether Electronic Arts has an appropriate channel for discussing a potential commercial or licensing proposal of this nature, and under what submission terms such material would be reviewed. I am not submitting or granting rights to the underlying concept or documentation through this initial inquiry. If there is an appropriate Business Development, Licensing, Partnerships, or other team for this inquiry, I would appreciate being directed to them. Kind regards, [CM Edit: Personal info removed]
What mysteries in The Sims series are your favorite?
And what are your headcanons surrounding all or any of them? I don't know all the mysteries of the Sims Series but I do like the Villareal Family Mystery and what happened to Bella Goth. Also, I feel like the Mysteries page on Fandom is incomplete if anyone could let me know of other mysteries it doesn't include? It would be nice to fill that out a bit more. ---- My headcanon on the Villareal Family is that Mrs. Villareal was bitten by Vladislaus Straud, a vampire and quickly realized she felt the urge to drain her children and husband dry so she left to protect them. She changed her name and became Miss H*ll (Marybell Smith) as a partial reference to feeling bad about being away from her family but knowing she had the responsibility to never see them again. She sired Hugo and Max Villareal. Luna Villareal came around when Bella Goth disappeared and lost her memory. Between the time she was abducted and arrived in Strangetown, aliens combined Jacques' DNA after abducting him for a few nights and driving him insane, with Bella's and created Luna who was left on Jacques' doorstep but the aliens always watched out for her to document anomalies for their experiment as well as to protect her from danger. This is intended as a continuance of Jacques Villareal's Wife
Is it time for Sims 5?
They've been teasing it on and off but seems like it'll never come to pass. Sims 4 is 9 years old now and looking very dated graphically, even when you factor in that they are aiming for lower-spec PCs. They stripped out some key features from previous games like the unified worlds, 3D map, collections feature (where players can make their own item groupings), rabbit holes for jobs vs just vanishing. It's an old game built on top of a cancelled MMO game. Playing House Flipper 2, it feels visually like what Sims 5 could be though first person and minus the sims themselves. Of course, there's the issue always that EA is greedy and makes countless incredibly expensive DLC to basically sell you the game a piece at a time like a jigsaw with the pieces split between boxes they combined cost of which is eye-watering.Sims Busting Out
Hello fellow simmers and EA management! I am almost 30 years old and have been a Simmer since I could handle a controller. I have acquired all of the Sims games on my PC, but my favorite is the Sims Bustin Out. I would Love Love Love if EA released the Sims Bustin Out for PC. This would make my whole gaming life!
