The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle Brings Back OG Sims & Sims 2

The Sims is such an iconic franchise, and there have been plenty of installments released. Currently, the game is still on The Sims 4 for the mainline series, and it’s likely staying that way. But if you want to go back and enjoy the original installment and its sequel, you can do so again. Today, both The Sims and The Sims 2 are now back on PC.

Again, rumors were flooding the web this week suggesting Maxis would bring The Sims and The Sims 2 back into the marketplace. Those rumors proved true as The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle had just shadow-dropped online. This will give you access to the games on Windows 10 and Windows 11. As you know, getting some of the past games on PC to run today can be a real pain, so this is a welcomed surprise for veteran fans.
