Participants recently enjoyed the initial episode of the Behind the Sims showcase in 2025. Although there were several thrilling revelations, followers find themselves speculating that there must be more to come. This year signifies the 25th anniversary of the original The Sims game, and EA has planned a 25-hour live broadcast to celebrate. Given a few subtle hints that may possibly be clues from EA, many Sims enthusiasts believe that one of the major unveilings could revolve around a beloved earlier installment in the series, The Sims 2.

In just under 10 minutes, the “Behind the Sims” video provided a fast-paced look at events leading up to and beyond The Sims’ birthday on February 4th. This glimpse included two significant free updates for The Sims 4, the PC release of the MySims Cozy Bundle, and an official unveiling of the previously leaked upcoming kits.

Several enthusiasts have pointed out that February 25th stands out on the timeline, marked only by an eye emoji, hinting at a potential reveal for that day.

February 25th Might Bring Major News About The Sims

Following the viewing of the special birthday episode of Behind the Sims, numerous enthusiasts switched into investigative mode. The video seemed to miss some information that many Sims players had anticipated, such as updates about Project Rene, clarification on a recent change in The Sims 3, or details regarding the Sims movie. Although there was no sign of Project Rene, fans have detected some subtle clues that may possibly suggest something related to The Sims 2, rather than The Sims 3.

There’s a strong suspicion among fans that news about The Sims 2 is on the horizon, possibly a remaster or re-release. The first clue comes from a distinctive sound heard when eyeball emojis appear in a video, which some Simmers have pointed out sounds like the “Sul Sul” audio from The Sims 2’s intro. This sound was familiar to many who remember loading multiple discs of The Sims 2 expansion packs onto their family computer during the 2004-2009 period, leading to speculation about a connection between February 25th and The Sims 2. However, as with any good fan theory, there’s more to it…

The forthcoming Blast from the Past live event features an element deeply rooted in the storyline of The Sims 2 – a milk carton straight out of the game, bearing Bella Goth’s missing person poster. Many enthusiasts believe that the sentimental atmosphere surrounding this in-game event and its coinciding 25th anniversary provide an ideal opportunity to reacquaint themselves with some of the series’ earlier installments. For some fans, this milk carton may serve as another clue suggesting a potential return to The Sims 2.

Although not all players are entirely convinced that it’ll feel like playing The Sims 2, there’s a striking similarity between its iconic “Sul sul!” sound and the one from The Sims 3. Interestingly, this game, which many devoted Simmers still favor over The Sims 4, has just received its first major update in quite some time. This could possibly hint that any upcoming news in February may concern this game rather than The Sims 2. However, there’s also speculation among fans that a remastered version of the older Sims games might be under development, allowing us to relive those nostalgic moments in a contemporary setting.
