Electronic Arts has announced the development of a Sims movie in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios and Margot Robbie's production company, with Kate Herron set to direct.

Kate Gorman, EA's vice president for The Sims franchise, aims to create a film that resonates culturally, similar to the success of the 2023 Barbie movie.

The film will incorporate elements from The Sims universe, including the unique language 'Simlish,' and will feature classic experiences from the games.

Viewers can expect some darker and quirkier elements, such as pools without ladders, alongside fan-favorite features like Freezer Bunnies.

Gorman emphasized the importance of collaborating with passionate individuals to deliver an authentic Sims experience that appeals to the community.

The announcement of the film was made via The Sims Twitter account, alongside plans for a 25th anniversary celebration.

The Sims franchise is celebrating its 25th anniversary, having engaged over 500 million players since its inception.

While multiplayer is not planned for The Sims 4, EA is working on Project Rene, which aims to enhance shared player experiences.

The Sims 4 will continue to receive updates and expansions, including the upcoming Life and Death expansion pack.

Creator Kits will allow players to create and sell custom content, making mod-like features more accessible to console players.

EA aims to honor The Sims' legacy with the film, which began with SimCity in 1989 and evolved into a franchise that allows players to create and direct virtual lives.

Distribution plans for the film are still being finalized, with hopes for a theatrical release and potential streaming service premiere.
