It’s time to brush up on your Simlish. The Sims movie is in the works – and it’s got a creative dream team behind it.
As perThe Hollywood Reporter, The Sims – the ever-popular EA simulation series – is being adapted for the big screen.
Production company LuckyChap will be behind The Sims movie. You may not know the name, but you’ll know its work: the company, co-founded by Margot Robbie, produced last year’sBarbie, as well as the likes ofI, TonyaandBirds of Prey.
Curiously, according to THR, EA is also involved in a “creative and producing capacity”, though it’s currently unclear what that will entail.
For those who haven’t had their lives consumed by The Sims, the series is a life simulation that sees players control various aspects of their Sims’ lives – from what they wear, to whether they wash, get a job, or accidentally set their house on fire. The choice is yours.
The Sims debuted in 2000 and has spawned three mainline sequels as well as a clutch of DLC game packs, ranging from the weird (The Sims: Werewolves) to the wonderful (The Sims: Pets). It has sold close to 200 million copies worldwide. That’s a lot of Simoleons.

On-site, you’ll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
