EA has recently revealed some of the commemorative events that will mark The Sims’ 25th anniversary, and some of the highlights include a 25-hour commemorative livestream and a mystery announcement on February 25. While some fans may have hopes for The Sims 5 to be announced at this date, a recent leak indicates that it could be The Sims 4’s next expansion. Called Businesses & Hobbies, this new expansion does not have a lot of information available about it, but it’s possible that it may add more careers to the game. In any case, it’s best to take this leak with a grain of salt, considering that the announcement could still be anything else, such as more free content.

Another big highlight of the commemoration is the 25-hour livestream, which can be seen via the official The Sims Discord channel, starting at 5 PM EST on February 4. The show will include performances by many artists, including Doja Cat, Latto, Loserfruit, Critinini, IronMouse, and others. Also, fans will be able to enjoy giveaways and several in-game prizes by participating in the event.
Before now, the main highlight of the commemorations was the release of the Legacy Collections of The Sims 1 and 2. Last week, the two Sims games were released with all DLC included, ensuring that old-school Sims fans will have plenty of content to choose from. While the first game is currently available for $19.99, The Sims Legacy Collection 2 costs $29.99.
Unfortunately, The Sims Legacy Collection 2 was released to Mixed reviews on Steam, faring worse than expected, as multiple players encountered bugs and frequent crashes while playing the game. Hopefully, EA will fix these problems soon, and gamers will be able to enjoy this excellent collection without problems.
