As announced in a surprising blog announcement from The Sims Mobile team, this smartphone iOS and Android game will see its final closure in the form of a server shutdown. The game’s servers will be disconnected forever on January 20th, 2026 after which all game content will be forever unaccessible to the players.
However, there is a small benefit that the team wants you to have before the game’s servers complete disconnect. On January 6th, 2026 you’ll be able to access all SimCash and premium currency items in Create A Sim and Build Mode. That also includes all the different premium variants that the game was charging players for additionally.
You’ll also probably able to use the free currency limited server closure event as an opportunity to get some extra Lots in Briny Heights before the mayor of SimTown declares total bankrupcy. Final reminder that you have from January 6th until January 20th to try out everything that The Sims Mobile was charging the players, now free.
The Sims Mobile Closure Roadmap
January 6, 2026 – Content unlocked
All Build Mode and Create A Sim (CAS) items will unlock for every player. These won’t be limited by levels, so that means EVERYTHING Build mode and CAS are available. We want to give everyone the opportunity to build their dream home, design their perfect Sims, and experience everything TSM has to offer before the servers close. We would love to see what you create if you would like to share it with us.
January 20, 2026 – Server closure
The servers will shut down at 1:59 PM UTC. After this time, The Sims Mobile will no longer be playable. Because game progress is stored on our servers, saved data will no longer be available.
Official The Sims Mobile Closure Blog: Frequently Asked Questions
Will there still be events in this update?
Yes. Events will continue to run as usual, so you can still earn Simoleons and items during the final months.
Can I still play after the game is delisted?
Yes. If you already have TSM installed, you can keep playing until January 20, 2026.
Can I still play after TSM sunsets on January 20, 2026?
No. TSM requires online servers to play, so playing in any form will no longer be possible after this date.
Can I re-download TSM later?
If you downloaded TSM before it is delisted, you can re-download it from your app store library until January 20, 2026.
What happens to my purchases?
All purchases you’ve made before October 20 will still work in-game right up until January 20, 2026. After that date, The Sims Mobile will no longer be playable, and any leftover currency will not be eligible for a refund.
From January 6, every Build Mode and Create A Sim item will be free for everyone playing. We recommend using your currency and tickets before then.
On behalf of the entire Sims Mobile team, thank you for sharing this amazing journey with us. We hope you enjoy the final update and that these final months allow everyone to finish projects, make memories, and celebrate their Sims.
Thanks (Dag dag)
