After seven years of support and more than fifty updates, Electronic Arts is bidding farewell to The Sims Mobile.
The Sims Mobile enjoyed a long and eventful run, but its chapter is now drawing to a close. Electronic Arts confirmed that the update released on October 20, 2025, will be the game’s final patch. The service will be permanently closed on January 20, 2026: servers will be taken offline and the app will no longer launch.
As of October 20, 2025, players can no longer purchase premium packs or make in‑app purchases. As a parting gesture, the developers have granted unlimited energy so users can finish ongoing projects and savor the game’s final months without constraints.
On October 21, 2025, The Sims Mobile will be removed from the App Store and Google Play. New account creation will be disabled, but players who previously downloaded the game will be able to continue playing until January 20, 2026.
Ahead of the shutdown, the team will run a series of themed events — Eerie Autumn Festival, Sweet Treat Showdown, Wumple’s Wishlist quests, and other celebratory activities. The complete schedule is published below.
Beginning January 6, 2026, all items from Build Mode and CAS will be automatically unlocked for every player. This change will allow unrestricted homebuilding and character customization regardless of level.
After January 20, 2026, The Sims Mobile will be inaccessible: servers will be shut down and all save data will be deleted. Refunds for unused in‑game currency will not be issued.
Meanwhile, the franchise’s other mobile title, The Sims FreePlay, will remain active and continue to receive regular updates.
