The Sims FreePlay is celebrating its first birthday this month and our team has a lot to celebrate. With over 15 billion minutes spent on the game, it's had a huge year delivering new content to players that makes their Sims families really come to life. Sims can now get married, have babies, and watch their children grow to their pre-teens. It's been fun for the FreePlay team to interact with fans over the past year to continue to develop the title and deliver new content and storylines for players.

Check out this interview with producer Todd Hutchinson where he provides some insight on the game's development and what's coming next. Thanks for making the first year of the game such a success!
