Sorry, Sims fans, but I have bad news for those of you who enjoy doing all that sul sul stuff on your mobile devices. Today’s update will be the last: The game is being delisted on October 21, and the servers will be switched off on January 20, 2026, rendering the game unplayable.
Today’s update will disable real money transactions in The Sims Mobile, but will grant players unlimited energy to “make it easier to complete projects and enjoy the last few months of play.” The game will roll along until January 6, 2026, at which point all Build Mode and Create A Sim items will unlock for all players, with no level-based limitations–everyone gets everything.
“We want to give everyone the opportunity to build their dream home, design their perfect Sims, and experience everything TSM has to offer before the servers close,” EA said in the shutdown announcement. “We would love to see what you create if you would like to share it with us.”
Seems a little weird to me that EA isn’t just doing that right from the hop. The game is cooked anyway, so why not just open the floodgates and let players go ham? At a time like this I can’t help but think back to Gary Larson’s famous pearl of wisdom: No size restrictions and screw the limit.
