The Sims Creates Retro Website for 25th Bday

Main Menu of The Sims Y2K website

Ahead of its 25th anniversary, The Sims released a retro website "The Sims Y2K" that's a nod to its The Sims (2000) and The Sims 2 (2004) roots on Jan 29. This continues speculation that a rerelease of their main title games is on the way.

Users are greeted with an interface that allows them to "Sim Urself" where you can take a picture and add different Sims elements like a burglar, plumbob, sims logos, and more. There is no photo upload option, so granting access with a camera via browser is the only way to create an image.

There is also a "Simsboard" which is a soundboard of iconic Sims sounds, "Simsvision," which shows a video of the original Sims, "Meme Jacuzzi," which generates specific memes, and the ability to download Sims 1 & 2 wallpapers.

The Sims official X account posted on Jan. 27 that they will "BRB" with a short clip showcasing a Sims 2 interactions UI. This sparked the speculation that an official rerelease of The Sims 1 & 2 is approaching.

No official news from Electronic Arts (EA) or The Sims at this time on the rereleases.
