According to EA, the latest entry in the series has attracted more than 16 million new players since the base game went free-to-play in October 2022, and average weekly users have increased 53 percent.

“It’s incredible to see how much our community has grown over the past eight years, and our players continue to inspire us with the countless ways they explore life in The Sims 4,” said Phillip Ring, executive producer of The Sims 4.

““We know The Sims 4 continues to be a creative outlet for people, and our team strives to deliver new and innovative gameplay content that empowers our players to embrace the chaos that comes with self-discovery.”

The Sims 4 was originally released for PC in September 2014 before making its way to Mac in 2015, and to PS4 and Xbox One in 2017.

The game had generated over $1 billion in revenue as of February 2019 and been played by more than 33 million people as of February 2021, according to EA.

I played the first Sims, I'd like to give em the ol' Cask of Amontillado treatment... or sometimes the equivalent in say a swimming pool. Can you swim forever little Sim? Didn't think so.

Great game but it’s hindered by so many stuff locked on the numerous amount of expansions. Expansions that for the most part fail to deliver stuff that people requested or were present in past games.

There are a lot of qol and performance fixes on mods but sadly not everyone can use them as a large part of the Sims 4 community are playing on consoles.
