The Sims Franchise is turning 19 years tomorrow, February 4th! That’s right – the first iteration of The Sims was released all the way back in 2000 with stunning 2D graphics, compelling gameplay and interesting stories that to this day are still relevant and present in the hearts and minds of many Simmers.
The Sims Team announced that they’ll be doing their 5th Maxis Monthly Livestream on the exact day of The Sims’ 19th Anniversary. What can we expect from this Maxis Monthly Livestream? Well, SimGuruKate shared some clues in some of her tweets…
First of all the Livestream will be hosted by SimGuruKate and joined by the developers SimGuruNinja and SimGuruMorgan, as well as the Executive Producer of The Sims SimGuruLyndsay. They’ll be doing a Q&A and answering some of your burning questions about The Sims Franchise in general – although they won’t be able to share any details about the upcoming content.
Next, some of the SimGurus were talking about a “super secret thing” coming to The Sims 4. Although that “super secret thing” won’t be shown in this livestream, SimGuruKate did address that they’ll be revealing the full details about what will be shown during Maxis Monthly an hour before the livestream begins. She hasn’t denied that there won’t be new things shown off during the stream so let’s hope the Anniversary Livestream will bring more than just a trip down the memory lane.
There are also going to be PLENTY of giveaways on February 4th, both on The Sims’ Twitter as well as the Maxis Monthly Livestream. We should expect giveaways for both PC / Mac and Console ports so get your preferred platforms ready for redeeming the codes.
And last (but not least), Kate revealed that The Sims’ official Twitch Channel will be hosting plenty of Twitch streamers on their channel during the anniversary. If you’re a Twitch streamer and plan to play some Sims games, February 4th is the right day to do so!
So as you may know we have a special 19th Anniversary edition of Maxis Monthly on Monday, Feb 4th. We will be joined by a few Gurus including @SimGuruLyndsay @SimGuruNinja and @SimGuruMorgan for a Q&A and walk down memory lane. What are some questions you have for them!?

Reply to this thread and I’ll chose some to ask on the stream. Remember that we can’t answer any questions about future content. For context Lyndsay and Ninja have been here forever (10+ years for both) and Morgan is newer to the team but a long time fan/player.

This super secret thing is pretty cool, and I am excited for it, but it will NOT be revealed during Maxis Monthly. Please set your expectations accordingly. More details about what will be in Maxis Monthly will come shortly before the Maxis Monthly starts! https://t.co/NmryhTWXLK

That’s why I included this “More details about what will be in Maxis Monthly will come shortly before the Maxis Monthly starts!”
I will share what to expect during the stream about an hour before it starts, here on Twitter. That way folks can decide if they want to tune in.

I didn’t say there wouldnt be anything, I’m just saying that the “super secret thing” @SimGuruHouts tweeted about is NOT the thing that we are showing.

A little birdie told me (and that little birdie is me) that to celebrate the 19th Anniversary of @TheSims on Monday we will be giving away codes for various packs (PC and Console) here on Twitter throughout the day and during our Maxis Monthly livestream.

Also we will be doing something we’ve never done before on Twitch and “hosting” random folks streaming The Sims after our Maxis Monthly throughout the rest of Monday. Just our little way of showing we love that you share and stream The Sims with your viewers! https://t.co/W0DzQHpPnn
