What this game is
The Sims 4 is a cult life simulator from Electronic Arts and Maxis, in which you create distinctive characters and manage their fates. The base game has been completely free since October 2022 and has brought together more than 85 million players.
In the Create a Sim editor you can set the appearance, personality and aspirations of each Sim with almost limitless detail. Build mode lets you construct houses of any style, from cozy cottages to luxurious mansions. Form a family, build a career, make friends or enemies: every day in Sims 4 unfolds unpredictably.
The game receives regular updates: the current version, May 2026, includes more than 150 fixes. A library of 70+ expansions covers all aspects of life: university studies (Discover University), having and raising children (Growing Together), medieval royal intrigue (Royalty & Legacy, February 2026) and much more.
Sims speak an invented language called Simlish; the interface and text are in Russian. A free EA App is required to launch the game.
Create characters, build houses and live through whole lives in the most popular life simulator, free of charge. 85 million players worldwide.
