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…

-The MySims Team

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experiencing graphical glitches, low FPS, or other rendering issues, your graphics drivers or DirectX version may be outdated or missing.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!

MySims Cozy Bundle is now available for Windows!

Buy at EA, Steam or Epic Games

Great news, Simmers! As of March 18, 2025, we are very happy to announce that MySims: Cozy Bundle is now available on PC! Fans eager to dive into these adorable adventures can play on PC via EA app, Epic Games Store, and Steam, Nintendo eShop, at retail and on Nintendo.com. *

MySims: Cozy Bundle features retro re-releases of two fan-favorite games, MySims and MySims Kingdom, where players can unleash their creativity as they explore familiar worlds that are full of puzzles to solve, locations to discover, tons of characters with big personalities to meet, and a lot to build, paint and decorate!

Make a Town Your Very Own in MySims!

Embark on an exciting adventure in MySims, where Mayor Rosalyn needs your help building a charming town for the people who live there. Show Mayor Rosalyn how creative you can be as you have fun with local townspeople by fulfilling their requests and having meaningful conversations!

In MySims, players can build and customize a town that is all theirs – from crafting furniture in the Workshop and tracking down Blueprints for new buildings, including their own home. Players will name and develop the town, setting an example for both new and current residents.

As players build up the town, they will attract new residents – with fan-favorite characters making a return, including the beloved Italian Chef Gino and incredibly cool DJ Candy.

Restore Magical Lands in MySims: Kingdom

In MySims: Kingdom, discover new stories and take on epic quests as you travel to magical islands full of adventure, playful themes, exciting puzzles, and unique characters! King Roland and his subjects need your help to make the kingdom thrive and make this magical world become an even better place.

Hear tales from locals and friends, unraveling the mysteries of these fascinating lands as you help this kingdom prosper. You’ll first begin by collecting Mana, a magical essence, using it to create items, furniture, and house parts for a plethora of locations on the island. As you unlock more to build, such as colors to paint with by finding Scrolls, recipes will unlock new powers and you’ll watch as this colorful island kingdom is slowly brought back to life!

As subjects are blown away by the boundless expressions of your imagination to reinvigorate this island, you’ll also be introduced to several different types of animals, including Bobaboo, the fan-favorite triceratops, that expand the way you can interact with the multiple themed islands.

MySims: Cozy Bundle is now available on PC via EA app, Epic Games Store, and Steam, Nintendo eShop, at retail and on Nintendo.com. *

Simmers can get even cozier with a limited edition collection featuring lovable MySims characters and more, now available at shopthesims.com.

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.
