The Sims 1 and 2 Return to PC at Last Today via The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle

Celebrate 25 Years of The Sims with Legacy Collections!

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

These releases offer nearly complete packages. The Sims: Legacy Collection includes all expansion packs and bonus content, a "Throwback Fit Kit." The Sims 2: Legacy Collection features all expansions and almost all stuff packs, with the exception of the IKEA Home Stuff pack. It also includes a "Grunge Revival Kit" as an added bonus.

This marks a significant return for these classic titles. The Sims 1 was initially a disc-only release, making it inaccessible to many without an original copy. While The Sims 2 had a previous digital release (Ultimate Collection), it was later removed from EA's Origin store. Now, both are readily available digitally. With these collections, all four main Sims games are easily accessible via digital platforms.

Our original reviews lauded The Sims 1 (9.5/10) and The Sims 2 (8.5/10) for their charm, simplicity, and challenge. Despite the series' evolution, the originals retain their unique appeal.

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