EA Re-Releases The Sims and The Sims 2 for 25th Anniversary

The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle includes both games with all major expansions but faces criticism over technical issues and pricing.

The Sims and The Sims 2, along with nearly all expansions, are now available digitally for the first time as part of The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle.
Priced at $39.99 for the bundle or $19.99 and $29.99 individually, the re-releases are available on Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA App for Windows 10 and 11.
Fans have expressed frustration over technical issues, including crashes, compatibility problems, and missing features like Steam achievements.
EA has acknowledged the issues and announced plans to release patches, though no timeline for fixes has been provided yet.
The re-releases include nostalgic features and content but are not remasters, with some DLC, such as The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff, excluded due to licensing challenges.
