Electronic Arts plans to release new Sims Game content along with The Sims Movie.

It’s been a few months since we last talked about The Sims Movie on this website. The first rumors started back in March 2024 that Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap company will spearhead the production. And in September 2024, we got an official confirmation that The Sims Movie is in the works. Confirming production companies Vertigo Productions and LuckyChap. Also, Kate Herron will be the movie’s director, and Briony Redman will be responsible for the screenplay.

Some additional First Details were later revealed to Variety about the game’s lore inclusion. Up until today, when we got more information from a morning interview with CBS.

The Sims Movie Interview with Laura Miele

CBS Mornings hosted a TV interview with EA’s President of Entertainment and Technology – Laura Miele. The entire TV segment covered the franchise’s big 25th Anniversary celebration, but there was also a segment that talked about the upcoming movie.

See what EA has in plan for the upcoming Sims Movie release:

CBS Mornings: One of the things I know is out there – a movie! How excited are you all for all that?

Laura Miele: We’re so excited! We’ve been talking about [The Sims Movie] for many years. How do you create a Movie around a Game experience that players create and have self-expression around. But over the years we certainly have characters that players have come to love. With all things, the right creative idea, the right creative partnership has to come to play. We’ve landed our place with Vertigo Productions and LuckyChap.

There’s a great idea. A great idea that celebrates some of the lore and some of the history of The Sims that our fans are going to recognize and be excited about. Often times it’s, like just a few things have to line up and that’s where we landed. The brand is larger than it’s ever been, has tremendous awareness.

And then other thing I’m really excited about is that technology and innovation. We’re going to be in a place where [The Sims Movie] can come out and the Game Content can meet that Movie. It can be a multiplier for the experiences that players and fans are going to be able to engage in.

Like we’ve never been able to do before.

What does this mean?

The first part of The Sims Movie interview confirmed that the creators and writers of this Movie have landed on the movie’s plot. It seems that there will be iconic characters from all previous Sims Game releases to be considered for the big silver screen appearance.

But also, EA seems to not be shy away from confirming the enjoyment of additional game content releases with The Sims Movie. It was mentioned in the interview that “new technology and innovation” will allow for The Sims Game content to meet the movie. Not just by having the new Sims 1 and Sims 2 Rereleases out, but by possibly also releasing Sims Movie Limited Time Events in The Sims 4. And maybe a Kit release or two while we’re already here…
