The development team behind The Sims has recently issued a message reassuring the gaming community that their “mission, values, and commitment remain the same.” This statement arose following the departure of several prominent content creators from EA’s creator network, triggered by concerns regarding the company’s impending acquisition by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and various private equity firms.

These developments have left many players feeling unsettled, especially as the game has been recognized for its inclusive representation of queer identities. The creators’ departures reflect a broader concern regarding the future direction of the game under new ownership.

Despite this, the Sims team emphasized their ongoing commitment to maintaining a welcoming space for player expression. They expressed gratitude for the creativity and diversity that players bring to the game and reiterated their mission to support players’ choices moving forward.

The team hinted at exciting updates coming in 2026 and stated that forthcoming communications would address community-related issues that matter most to players.

“The Sims will always be a space where you can express your authentic self.”
