It’s been a long while since I’ve been able to play the original The Sims games, and for people who have joined the series later on it’ll be a chance to go back and see where the phenomenon of Simlish first began. I can remember playing these on the family computer back in the year 2000 when I was 10 years old, so relieving these with some of the favourite tunes I used to listen to back then would be a proper blast from the past. I’m keeping my eyes peeled for an official announcement from EA and will update this article when it drops!
