Maxis is celebrating 25 years of The Sims Franchise with a special look into future releases.
Electronic Arts has announced today that they’ll be doing a special Behind The Sims video release on January 14th, 2025. This special pre-recorded episode will cover a future roadmap for The Sims 4 releases, a potential new look into the developments of Project Rene and more!
Here’s what we can expect based on everything we know so far:
Behind The Sims 2025: What to Expect
The Sims Team is expected to cover multiple product releases during their next Behind The Sims Episode. Based from previous announcements and news from official EA investor presentations, we’re almost certain that new technology and features will be shown.
AI features have been announced to come to The Sims 4 soon, all under the umbrella of The Sims Hub. Which will be a new central station for making various purchases, creations and more for The Sims 4, The Sims Town Stories Mobile Game and Project Rene.
Speaking of The Sims Town Stories, we got a special first look a couple of months ago to EA’s third mobile game release for The Sims. This time focusing on populating the town with Sims and telling their stories.
For The Sims: Project Rene we can expect further developments into this co-op experience and how the game’s been progressing so far.
Looking at the episode teaser, we might also get a first look into the next Sims 4 Expansion Pack. That’s just our speculation for now based on the crown illustration, which could be matching to the Expansion Pack idea EA suggested a couple of months ago in their official survey.
Also, is it time that we finally find out what The Sims Movie could actually be about? Time will tell!
Where to Watch
The first 2025 episode of Behind The Sims is set to air on January 14th, 2025 at 9AM PT / 6PM CET / 5PM BT. You can also check the time of the beginning of this episode premiere by clicking the play button below!

Expect visual changes to The Sims 4 Loading Screens very soon!
The Sims 4 Loading Screens, and other user interface elements in general, have gone through a long journey of development and updates since the original release in 2014.
The game’s loading screen occurs when you go travelling between different worlds and neighborhoods, loading a new lot or opening a new game mode. Compared to its 2009 predecessor, there’s more visits to the Loading Screen menu than ever. Which is why the evolution of this screen went under many revamps.
The Sims 4 Loading Screens in 2014 and 2016
The Sims 4 Loading Screens were later updated again with The Sims 4’s Rebrand in 2019, adding a more pleasant darker background and a vibrant spinning plumbob. Which lasted for 5 years and soon will be changed with a new one…
Refreshed The Sims 4 Loading Screnes
The Sims 4 Loading Screens are getting a complete refresh according to the game file discoveries found in the latest Sims 4 Patch files. Thanks to a datamine discovery from @Simmattically, we now know what the new Loading Screens are going to look like.
Base Game The Sims 4 Loading Screens
The new essential Loading Screen experience will have different footage and screenshots display on the screen, taking over the majority of the Loading Screen. The Game Tips are now located at the bottom, with a spinning plumbob now in the bottom right corner.
The Sims 4 Packs and DLC Loading Screens
The true motive behind The Sims 4 Loading Screens refresh gets revealed with Screenshots and Logos from The Sims 4 Packs and DLC releases. Soon your game will start advertising Expansions, Game and Stuff Packs along with the new Kits as you wait for your game to load. Not dependant whatsoever on whether you own that DLC set or not.
The screen above is purely illustrative to match the aesthetics of the new planned Sims 4 DLC Loading Screens. Which will rotate for all players soon.
The good old days were similar though!
This isn’t the first time that EA has approached to completely change their loading screens for a Sims game. Back in 2013, The Sims 3 had its own Loading Screens refreshed with a complete DLC interactive loading screen. Which gave you satisfaction points based on finding features and items on the screen!
The loading screen is designed to function in a similar way in The Sims 4, hence why the comparison.
The new Sims 4 Loading Screens are expected to launch to the game soon. With the release date still unknown for the time being.
Let us know what you think of the new Loading Screens in our fun community poll below!
In case you missed out on the news, EA announced their ongoing partnership with CC Creators to bring unique sets of CAS and Build items officially into The Sims 4. All through a new streamlined form called The Sims 4 Creator Kits.
These new sets are made entirely by CC Creators themselves – from picking the name and writing the description to modeling the 3D items in-game. These sets will be available for everyone including Desktop and Console platforms, and will be charged 5USD – or a price equivalent to your local currency.
Thanks to @anadius we have a full preview into the first Sims 4 Creator Kits, including object swatches and full items list. Check it out:

New EA Survey suggests specific themes for upcoming The Sims 4 Kits.
EA has just published a brand new official survey for upcoming The Sims 4 Kits, suggesting new themes for next Create A Sim and Build Kits set to release sometime in 2025 and further.
The survey covers questions in regards to what type of CAS content you want to see for certain life stages, what type of new CAS assets and fashion pieces should the team focus on. As well as dive deeper into which functional items and focuses should their future Build Kits have.
These official Kits for The Sims 4 are different from the newly announced Creator Kits. Which differ only in the way by who’s producing the Kits. All of them are being published across all platforms by EA, but official Kits are created by EA / Maxis – and Creator Kits by Custom Content creators. Still, all of them share the same common ground. A five dollar price tag!
Let’s dive deeper into the context of the new survey and what the suggested Sims 4 Kit Themes are!
Table of Contents
The intro of The Sims 4 Kit Themes Survey
The official Sims 4 Kits survey begins with a question about how interested are you in Build / Buy or Create A Sim Kits focusing on certain life stages, including Babies to Elders.
The second question is more in tune to the player’s decision behind making a Sims 4 Kit purchase, including what they focus on the most. Do they like kits with different aesthetics, kits with some level of interactive of items or just kits that make a room feel well lived in.
The upcoming Sims 4 Kits survey later asks questions about which rooms or categories would you most be interested in. Including Dining and Living Rooms, Outdoor Spaces, Community Lots, General Architecture and More.
The fourth question in the survey wants to know your opinion specifically on future Create-A-Sim Kits, and what you want those Kits to focus on the most.
Themes of suggested Upcoming Sims 4 Kits
The second half of the official Sims 4 Kit Survey focuses on specific Build and Buy Kits that The Sims Team wants you to help prioritize. There are twelve Sims 4 Kit themes in total that we’ve extracted from the Survey, ranging from Surfer Bungalows to Bathroom Retreats.
Now you are going to be shown some high-level ideas for potential The Sims 4 Build / Buy Kits.
The Sims team is not committing to any specific themes, features, or details outlined here. Your input will determine which ideas are most appealing, what could be improved, or which should be cut.

Convert any living space into a whimsical wonderland that’s perfect for hosting unforgettable slumber parties. Let creativity flow with pillow forts, plush sleeping bags, and a cozy spot for storytelling.

Sims will react uniquely to others’ deaths based on traits and relationships. Experience everything from sobbing for a loved one passing to retching at a stranger’s death.

At the moment of death, Sims are now given the option to “Become a Playable Ghost” or “Become a Freeroaming Ghost.”
Upon the death of a marriage partner, two married Sims will no longer be married, they’ll be widowed. However, there is a new interaction that will allow them to “Ask to Stay Married” so they can reinstate their marriage status.

Infant, Toddler, Child Sims taken by Social Workers go to Household Menu in Manage Worlds, rather than being deleted.
Added a new bonfire object called the Fieldstone Bonfire Pit to Base Game.
There is an option on Gravestones/Urns to manually swap to the other one whether you are indoors or outdoors. Before it would always auto-change when brought in or taken out.

That Sim who wasn’t a Vampire but was a little too obsessed with Vampires? Yeah, they can rest eternally with a bat-themed gravestone now.
There is now a Merfolk Urn and Tombstone for players with Island Living.
Players can swap occults while in Create a Sim if they have the necessary occult packs. This doesn’t remove progress on a Sim that’s currently being created (within reason).
