Celebrating 25 Years of The Sims with YouTube!

The Sims creator community has been captivating audiences for years, and to celebrate its 25th birthday, YouTube is introducing a new interactive mini-game effect called “The Sims Party.” This game lets players design their dream room as fast as possible to see how many townies they can invite to their house party. The twist? Surprising guests might just drop by, including the Grim Reaper. To try it out, visit the YouTube Shorts section.

To commemorate this milestone, YouTube has also released a special version of its logo, known as the “Yoodle,” featuring Sul Sul Simmers! Clicking on the Yoodle takes viewers to a curated playlist of creator challenges and a 25-hour livestream event. Lilsimsie is participating in some outlandish tasks assigned by her fellow creators.

The Sims community has seen significant growth, with over 1.4 billion views of videos related to The Sims in 2024 alone, according to YouTube data. This milestone marks the beginning of a new era for The Sims creator community on YouTube.
