The Sims Celebrate 25 Years: Wishlist Highlights for a Grand Anniversary
The Sims mark 25 years since its release in February 2000. Fans are excited about how EA will celebrate this significant milestone. Here are some creative and impactful ideas for celebrating the legacy of this iconic life simulation series:
Make the Original Sims Accessible or Remastered
Current Challenge: Playing the original Sims today is nearly impossible except through outdated hardware or unsupported methods.
Proposed Solution: Release an updated version compatible with modern systems or a fully remastered edition with the following features:
- Improved graphics
- Streamlined mechanics
- Seamless performance on the current platform
Why It Matters: This will be a gesture of respect towards the game that started, inviting old and new fans alike to share the franchise's origins.
Challenges: The project could be resource-intensive because of potential issues like lost source code and the complexity of remastering, but it is still a dream worth pursuing.
Introduce a Complete Edition of The Sims 3
The Problem: Unlike The Sims and The Sims 2, The Sims 3 has no complete edition that bundles the base game and expansions. The full game is priced at around $400, which scares off potential players.
The Wishlist:
- Make a comprehensive bundle for The Sims 3 affordable for new and returning players.
- Not a full package but smaller bundles that comprise curated content to reduce the overall cost.
It would make the dear title more accessible while shining a light on its legacy within the franchise.
Announce a New Spin-Off with RPG Elements
Inspiration: Introducing a new spin-off inspired by The Sims Medieval, which has a unique mix of life simulation and RPG elements.
Wishlist Highlights
- Inspired by The Sims Medieval
- It comes with modern graphics and gameplay improvements.
- King or spy, a physician with a task and a story to tell.
- Or even a re-release of The Sims Mediaeval, this time with new content added.
Why Fans Love It: The combination of storytelling with light RPG mechanics will appeal to gamers looking for deeper but not unfriendly gameplay.
