Based
on
a
growing
mountain
of
evidence,
it
appears
both
of
the
first
two
Sims
games
will
be
re-released
for
Windows
10
this
weekend.
Sadly,
it
doesn’t
seem
like
these
are
full
remasters
or
remakes,
so
no
visual
overhauls
or
anything
like
that.
Just
modern
operating
system
support.

The
rumour
first
appeared
when
the
first
two
games
were
briefly
teased
via
sound
effects
during
a
“Behind
the
Sims”
presentation
earlier
this
month.
EA
and
Maxis
Games
then
seemed
to
tease
the
classic
games
yet
again
when
the
official
Sims
X
account
tweeted
out
a
roadmap
for
the
series
as
part
of
the
25th
anniversary
celebrations.

Celebrate
25
years
of
The
Sims!
🎂

Save
the
dates
&
tune
in
to
celebrate
The
Sims
for
weeks
to
come!
🎉

Kotaku
followed
up
on
this,
reporting
that
a
source
told
them
that
both
the
first
two
games
will
be
getting
re-released
on
PC
“before
the
end
of
the
month.”
The
source
also
stated
that
all
the
previously
released
content
would
also
be
getting
released.
Sadly,
the
Kotaku
report
says
a
console
version
was
unclear.

Today,
more
evidence
as
appeared
in
the
form
of
a
substantial
leak,

as
reported
by
Sims
Community.
The
leak
includes
promotional
images
and
material,
details
on
features
and
more.

The
leak
confirms
that
both
games
will
be
released
this
weekend
on
January
31st,
at
8APM
PT
/
5PM
CET
/
4PM
BT.
No
pricing
was
mentioned.

Both
games
will
now
be
playable
on
Windows
10/11
machines.
Prior
to
this,
both
games
were
only
available
on
disc
and
trying
to
get
them
to
work
on
modern
operating
systems
was
difficult,
essentially
meaning
that
they
were
unplayable
for
the
average
user.
This
re-release
should
fix
that
problem.
