EA has officially announced and launched the re-release of both The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 as part of The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle. This bundle brings two classic titles—along with all expansions and DLC—to current-day players with modern PCs.
As far as running the games on your machine, it won’t take a high-powered machine. That said it will have some updates including an updated rendering engine as well as a “more versatile pixel resolution scaling on large monitors”. But just how modern does your PC need to be?
