The 8 best Sims spin-offs and quirky console exclusives to play right now

The Sims Medieval.

EA has carved a true legacy over its 25 years with The Sims. From humble beginnings to the behemoth experience that is The Sims 4, it's almost too easy to forget all the smaller offerings we've enjoyed along the way.

I'm here to remind you of the best Sims spin-offs in franchise history, dating back to the Game Boy Advance, DS, and one particular PC game that still holds up brilliantly in 2025. Alas, most of the games below can only be played on the original hardware, but there are one or two that you can still pick up and play today on more modern tech. Ready for a nostalgia trip that only EA could provide? Here are the best ever Sims spin-offs for the ultimate trip down memory lane.
