Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.14/day in the week to Sep 15 → 4.2/day in the week after.

Oh the nostalgia of playing sims when you last played the first one back when it was included in magazines.
Still fun to play for hours

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 5: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.71/day in the week to Jul 30 → 4.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

MELHOR JOGO DA FRANQUIA
Game keeps crashing kinda sucks donkey ♥♥♥♥
Comment écrire une critique sévère mais juste quand tant de nostalgie vous étreint, que vous lancez le jeu, 10 ans après, et que les mêmes émotions reviennent, vous reprennent, que tout est comme avant, à sa place, immuable... Plus sérieusement - l'âge offrant au moins plus de maturité et d'outils de comparaison - on est frappé comme tout est organique dans ce jeu, tout est amusant, rien n'y est jamais trop pénible, ni vraiment trop facile. C'est d'autant plus amusant que le jeu est absurde sur bien des aspects, mais parle toujours de la liberté du joueur et de son envie de raconter des histoires ou de construire des baraques. Époque bénie où les DLC ajoutaient réellement un truc en plus à un jeu en-soi fini et ne venaient pas colmater d'infâmes béances laissées volontairement (songeons ici au naufrage plus que scandaleux des Sims 4 où les voitures n'étaient pas dans le jeu de base), ce bundle est pour 30€ l'affaire du siècle, offrant un jeu complet, abouti, il y a des bugs évidemment (c'est EA, vous croyez quoi), mais véritable classique du genre qui garde toute sa virtuosité, si vous me passez l'expression.
Game works for me on Ubuntu Linux. But the music in character creation... sounds different? I kinda miss the old one. But it plays well! Thanks for letting me relive an old classic Sims game!
Almost 24 hours of gameplay and I haven't encountered any glaring issue. Slight graphic discrepancy when snowing, but probably an issue with my laptop's graphics. Still a fun game to play. Best Sims game for me!
blijft leuk net als vroeger
Solo se pierde dinero... re-lanzaron un juego que ni siquiera puede jugarse en una computadora decente. Las horas que "jugue" fueron intentando solucionar el problema... y no me quieren dar un reembolso...
