In a celebration of its 25th anniversary, the beloved Sims franchise has treated fans with the much-anticipated re-release of The Sims 1 and 2.
After a week filled with speculation and excitement, EA has officially announced that players can now buy these classic games for PC.
Legacy Collections and Pricing
For years, fans of The Sims series have faced hurdles in accessing the original titles.
The first game, which debuted a quarter-century ago, has never before seen a digital release.
Meanwhile, The Sims 2’s Ultimate Collection was taken down from Origin in 2018, leaving players hopeful for a comeback.
Well, the wait is over—EA has confirmed the return of these iconic titles.
Today marks a milestone with the launch of The Sims: Legacy Collection and The Sims 2: Legacy Collection.
Each set includes the base game along with all the expansion packs that once enriched the gaming experience.
Additionally, EA has introduced The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle, which includes both Legacy Collections and the original The Sims 4.
Pricing Details
If you’re feeling nostalgic and want to dive back into The Sims 1, the Legacy Collection is available for just £17.99.
This package not only includes the original game but also all its expansions, such as Living’ Large, House Party, Hot Date, Vacation, Unleashed, Superstar, and Makin’ Magic.
Plus, it throws in the Throwback Fit Kit for The Sims 4 to sweeten the deal.
For those interested in The Sims 2, you can purchase the Legacy Collection for £24.99, which features the 2005 base game, the Grunge Revival Kit from The Sims 4, along with all its expansions.
For die-hard fans wanting to experience it all, the complete The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle can be yours for £34.99.
You can find these exciting offerings across various platforms, including Steam, the EA App, and the Epic Games Store.
