In this special 25th-anniversary episode of Blowing Cartridges, the crew takes a nostalgic (and sometimes chaotic) look back at The Sims—from its humble beginnings in 2000 to the global and enduring phenomenon it is today, sustaining a vibrant and diverse community of content creators and enthusiasts.
Joining us for this Sim-tacular celebration is the Australian content creator, EA Partner and noted Sims 4 Builder Jeyjeybinks! Together, we reminisce about our first Sims memories, the franchise’s lasting impact on gaming culture, and what the current Sims landscape. Plus, we break down the evolution of the series, the most iconic expansion packs (aka Hot Date), and what we hope to see in the future.
