EA has teased a re-release of the first two games in The Sims series as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations, and a new report from Kotaku says both games will be released by the end of the month. The Sims, originally released in 2000, has never been available digitally on PC, while The Sims 2 (2004) hasn't been available since 2014.
Both games will apparently arrive with all of their original expansion packs, which in the case of The Sims 2 will mean a mind-boggling amount of content (though don't be surprised if certain licensed DLCs don't make the cut). This is the kind of re-release that catches you by surprise and feels overdue: The Sims is such an influential and unique part of gaming history yet the only way to play it on PC now is to track down an old disc.
