Celebrate 25 Years of The Sims with Legacy Collections!

EA and Maxis are commemorating The Sims' 25th anniversary with a fantastic surprise: The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 are back on PC! Available now are The Sims: Legacy Collection and The Sims 2: Legacy Collection, sold individually or together in The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle for $40.

These Legacy Collections are comprehensive, including nearly all expansion and stuff packs for both games. The Sims 2: Legacy Collection notably omits the 2008 IKEA Home Stuff pack, but otherwise offers complete packages. Bonus content sweetens the deal, with The Sims 1 receiving a Throwback Fit Kit and The Sims 2 featuring a Grunge Revival Kit.

This marks a significant return for these classic titles. The Sims 1, originally a disc-only release, has been inaccessible for years to those without physical copies. While The Sims 2 was previously available through an Ultimate Collection on Origin, that version was discontinued. Now, all four main Sims games are readily available digitally.

Our original reviews praised The Sims 1 (9.5/10) and The Sims 2 (8.5/10) for their charm, simplicity, and challenging gameplay. Despite the series' evolution, the originals remain worthwhile experiences, offering a unique blend of nostalgia and engaging gameplay.

The Sims: Legacy Collection and The Sims 2: Legacy Collection are available now on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the EA app.
