Sul Sul, Simmers!
Welcome to the 104th Update: ‘FreePlay 2000’!
This update celebrates The Sims™ 25th Birthday by taking players back to the year 2000—a time of buttoned phones, cafe meetups, and the rise of reality TV. Most notably, it was the era when the plumbob made its debut, and Sims first greeted us with a cheerful “Sul Sul!”
In this nostalgic update, your Sims can immerse themselves in Y2K cafe culture, serve cappuccinos, design a classic studio apartment, and even star in the hit reality show, ‘Reality Island’. The early 2000s vibe is all here, ready to relive.
25 Days of Gifts
To mark The Sims™ 25th Birthday, players can enjoy 25 days of daily in-game gifts! Beginning February 4th, a new reward will appear in your inbox each day—available for just 24 hours—so don’t miss out. Long-time fans may even spot some familiar items from The Sims legacy.
Additionally, visit ‘The Sims FreePlay Museum’ in ‘Another SimTown’ via the Party Boat to explore a collection of unique items from previous updates—a true celebration of FreePlay history.
