The Sims & ACMI are celebrating 25 years this weekend

If you're in Melbourne this weekend, head over to ACMI

The Sims are celebrating 25 Years in 2025, and this weekend fans can visit ACMI in Melbourne to check out a special three-day event.

Visitors can take a step back into the 2000s with a fully immersive space that has been curated by Josh & Matt Design.

“The duo have recreated an iconic pre-teen Y2K-era bedroom, complete with 2000s aesthetics and classic Sims design elements and easter eggs—think blow-up couches, CD towers, fuzzy rugs, and more.”

You’ll also be able to enjoy bookable gameplay stations through the space in ACMI, which are set up with the recently released The Sims: Birthday Bundle.

On Saturday, a special panel will explore The Sims’ impact and fan favourite moments from the past 25 years with Mavis Chan, General Manager of the simulation Division at EA/Firemonkeys, Jini Maxwell, Curator at ACMI, Josh Jessup, and Matt Moss of Josh & Matt Design.

The event will be held at ACMI in Melbourne, Victoria, from Friday, February 21, until Sunday, February 23, and is free to enter, but you should book here.
