Electronic Arts has posted a cryptic video teaser to celebrate the beginning of Sims Nostalgia Now segment. In case you don't know, it's been rumored for a while that this segment will be dedicated to announcing new game rereleases, such as MySims Games and The Sims 1 and The Sims 2.
EA confirms the rumors today with a new video teaser, showing The Sims 1 Plumbob, and then The Sims 2 Plumbob. We don't have any more words to say that this is really happening, the video teaser speaks for itself:

The team also signed off the video teaser with BE RIGHT BACK, meaning that Nostalgia Now season will continue with announcements through January 31st.
In case you missed out on the video, here are two very important Sims 1 and Sims 2 Plumbob screengrabs:
The Sims Team also updated their profile covers and images, now showing an image of The Sims 1 plumbob across all social media pages:
There's also a Sims Giveaway across their socials happening right now to celebrate the ocassion. With a secret game bundle waiting to be announced. Still, we're sure that there's more to this week than just giveaways.
It's not known at the moment to which extent The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 collection of games will be remastered. For MySims rereleases we were able to see improvements to the User Interface scaling, improved, cleaner textures and a functional working game. Which for a rerelease is more than enough to make it successful in my opinion.
The last time that The Sims 2 was rereleased by EA was in July 2014 in a form of "Sims 2 Ultimate Collection" release. Which gathered all the Expansion Pack and Stuff Pack releases under one roof for Windows PC players. This was a limited-time 7 day promotion, and it didn't bring any new compatibility solutions or support for newer hardware.
Considering that Nostalgia Now is a week segment from January 27th to January 31st, we should be expecting more details and a full reveal in the coming days. Until then, we'll keep you posted on all the teasers, leaks and information right here on Sims Community!

If they edit the classic games in any way to include the same ideological rot that destroyed TS4 (and the franchise as a whole, really), then they can keep it.
