With the release of MySims Cozy Bundle for PC, EA has released an article detailing the differences from the old 2007 MySims game and what’s to come for the PC and Switch version.
Buy at EA, Steam or Epic Games and Nintendo eShop.
Today is the day, MySims is now on PC – available on EA App, Epic and Steam! We have loved bringing this game to you on Switch, so we’re excited that PC gamers now get to enjoy the same levels of cozy customization. But we aren’t done *just* yet. We have also been working hard on a couple new additions that will be coming to both Switch and PC soon…. Stay tuned for more updates…

To report any bugs or issues or for the latest updates, please visit our official forums.
What’s changed since the 2007 PC version?
We have all new PC controls - not just enhancing the keyboard and mouse functionality from the original PC version, but also adding controller support for Xbox and PlayStation controllers.
We’ve carried over the performance and visual improvements from the Switch version, including the new added features of Autosave, improved loading times, and the ability to shut off auto-camera rotation
We’ve carried over bug fixes from the Switch version including:
NPCs will no longer have duplicates running around town
Furniture will no longer disappear from NPC houses
CAS will allow randomizing skin tones
Buddy will no longer have a phantom task in Kingdom
Rendering Issues or Low FPS?
If you’re experiencing graphical glitches, low FPS, or other rendering issues, your graphics drivers or DirectX version may be outdated or missing. For the best performance and compatibility, always update your drivers manually from the manufacturer’s website.
Also please check if you are using any non-EA overlays or hefty anti-virus software, as these may have unintended consequences on your game.
You can see our minimum and recommended PC specifications on the various storefronts (EA App, Epic Games and Steam) for the best player experience – please make sure you have enough hard drive space, RAM, and the appropriate graphics card, etc.
Coming Soon!
We’ve heard your feedback: additional skin tones, and the ability to move Sims into the Garden area are both coming to Switch and PC!
Steam Deck compatibility work is underway, so you can play on the go
Fixes for some more top community reported bugs - for instance, that planted essences or buildings in the Garden do not persist after leaving.
Thank you for your continued support of MySims. We’ve worked hard to make sure the PC experience feels true to, and improves on, the legacy title - and that Kingdom has a worthy PC edition since it has been so long awaited. We look forward to hearing from you on the MySims section on our official Discord!

Description
FreeSO was an reimplementation of The Sims Online (TSO) maintained by the community. It contained the original TSO files which came from EA’s own servers and had some additional content and features added. It was not endorsed by EA.
The Sims 3 Generations event was held in London, can’t remember the venue name or when it happened.
We did an audio interview with a SimGuru but due to time constraints we had to do in the room where everyone was playing. Unfortunately the audio is hard to transcript.
I believe I still have the audio but no pictures unfortunately due to loss of hard drive.
