Overview

  • EA released a swansong update today that disables real-money purchases and gives players unlimited energy for the remaining months.
  • The game will be removed from the App Store and Google Play on Oct. 21, but it remains playable for existing users until servers go offline on Jan. 20, 2026.
  • All Build Mode and Create‑A‑Sim items will auto-unlock for everyone on Jan. 6, offering a two-week window to access the full catalog before shutdown.
  • Seasonal events and limited-time quests, including the Eerie Autumn Festival and Cozier Home Sweet Treat Showdown, are live during the wind-down period.
  • Previously purchased items function through Jan. 20, 2026, and any leftover premium currency will not be eligible for refunds once the servers close.
