Electronic Arts recently held an exciting livestream to get players ready for the 25th anniversary celebrations of The Sims series. During this event, they unveiled a slew of gifts and events that The Sims 4 players can look forward to during these festive weeks.

The preparations for this grand celebration are well underway. A new update has already been released, which not only fixes several bugs but also introduces a revamped main menu and enhances game optimization. Additionally, the developers have given a fresh look to several classic houses in Willow Creek and Oasis Springs. These updated versions will be available immediately upon starting a new game, while players with existing saves can access them through the library.
