EA and Maxis are teasing something nostalgic for The Sims' 25th anniversary with an image hearkening back to The Sims 1 and 2, and fans are beyond hopeful that some sort of re-release of the classics is on the way.

The official website for The Sims has been updated with an image that shows a Sims 1 character with a Sims 2 interaction wheel in the background, as noted by Sims Community. This comes as Maxis and EA gear up for what they're calling "Nostalgia Week," which a roadmap tweet says will take place between January 27 and January 31.

So what does this teaser image mean? Series fans are certainly hoping that it indicates remastered versions of Sims 1 and Sims 2 are on the way. While both games remain among the most popular and influential titles ever released, neither have been available for purchase for a very long time. Even if you track down the original game discs - or choose to indulge in piracy - they're both notoriously difficult to get up and running on modern PCs.

PLEASE be The Sims 1 & 2 remastered!!!
