EA Quietly Retires The Sims Medieval - Sims Community

It appears that Electronic Arts has quietly retired one of the of The Sims Spin-Off titles from 2010. We’re most certainly talking about the timeless classic The Sims Medieval, which seems to have been pulled back from official stores including EA App and Steam with no prior warning or public announcement. Here’s everything we know so far: The official EA Store page for The Sims Medieval is still up. However, if you look into the right side of the page you’ll notice that the game is “Not Available” for purchase, and instead directs you to other recommended Sims games still active. Looking into the history of The Sims Medieval’s presence on Steam, it appears it was pulled back from the Store page quietly 2 months ago on March 10th, 2026. According to the last update provided from SteamDB. ARTICLE UPDATE: The Sims Medieval was apparently delisted from Steam back in 2016. One of our readers explained the listing above: The game has been delisted off Steam since 2016. The March 2026 changelist was just a Steam‑wide automated update affecting about 268k items. It’s still a major novelty that The Sims Medieval was pulled back from its official EA App storefront this weekend with no prior announcement. If you’ve previously purchased The Sims Medieval from either the EA App or Steam you’ll still be available to access the game, download and play it. However, any potential new players looking to try The Sims Medieval will no longer be able to purchase it. The game was originally released in March 2011 for PC and Mac, several months after The Sims 3 got its 3rd Expansion Pack “Late Night”. The Sims Medieval released an additional “Pirates & Nobles” Expansion Pack which later become a part of the standard The Sims Medieval package on official EA storefronts. Slowly but surely EA is making their list of abandoned software evergrowing. Will this be in any way related to other Sims Spinoffs announced for 2026 and beyond or are they planning to release a Remaster and call it a new thing again? We’ll know more when the time is right. Until then, let us know what you think about EA abandoning The Sims Medieval in the comments section down below.

However, the game has been delisted off Steam since 2016. The March 2026 changelist was just a Steam‑wide automated update affecting about 268k items. 23 Reply CrazySimmer 1 day ago Nooooooooooooo 8 Reply WallaWallaWanda 1 day ago Now I know why EA wipes my wishlist EVERY time they update the app..so they can more easily de-list any deprecated titles. 6 Reply Anon 1 day ago the game won’t even open on my pc… guess no fix coming for that. 5 Reply alex Reply to  Anon 20 hours ago Sometimes you just need to change your affinity in task manager, same thing that you need to do for sims 3 sometimes. Hopefully that helps 🙂 5 Reply Matty 1 day ago That sucks. EA has NO RESPECT for any of the classic games. It’s not like they’re delisting it to release a remaster. They’ll forget it exists for decades like they did with TS1 and TS2. I f-cking hate EA! 13 Reply Miata Reply to  Matty 20 hours ago Agree! Quietly dropping IP’s…ominous foreshadowing of what’s to come. 5 Reply Draigin 22 hours ago I bet it’s because they’re afraid of sales from their nobility and dynasties pack being diverted to TSM. 4 Reply Sa. 22 hours ago It makes no sense to just delete a game that’s already made and makes them easy money as the work has been done years ago. This must mean they are experiencing either issues like (license) issues OR they might be on to a re-release with tweaks and stuff. A re-release would be a great idea since it’s a really great spin-off but I doubt they would since there’s no really a need for it as the original was already available on the EA app whereas Sims 1 wasn’t. It wasn’t nearly abandonware like the OG sims game was. The game also doesn’t have major bugs (unlike TS4) as far as I recall. Also, why re-release this game when it was available while tons of other spin offs aren’t? Think Sims 2 castaway, life stories or even the Wii games like Mysims Agentsw Mysims Racing, … would be a very weird choice to re-release this one BEFORE the ones I just mentioned. So it does seem very unlikely to me a re-release is about to happen. So it must be issues related… 9 Reply Ethan Reply to  Sa. 19 hours ago Mine all play wonderfully and I am thankful for that. Got them all and when I get a sum urge they are my go tos. Recently rediscovered my sims 3 CD stash too so whoop whoop. 3 Reply Mysteriana 20 hours ago I tried purchasing last year but it wouldn’t work on my computer, so I returned it. My hubby had given away my disk when getting rid of an old PC otherwise I’d still have it. Not surprising they got rid of it. A remastered version would be nice if they would put it out. 4 Reply Ethan 19 hours ago So glad I bought all the spin offs. Now if they would be so kind as to send them to nintendo switch, that would be lovely. 0 Reply Lex 18 hours ago Not cool! I was waiting for YEARS with it on my wish list hoping to get it on sale not just that but literally EVERYTHING I had on my wish list is GONE. I had over 20 items saved, mostly after medieval, the remaining ts3 packs I hadn’t managed to get years ago, and they’re all gone, and so are the other couple of games I had on there. They cleaned house and that isn’t cool or okay because they didn’t throw away the trash they threw away the priceless china. If they had given us notice that they were doing this I’d have paid full price for it and the remaining ts3 packs IMMEDIATELY now I’m here wondering if I can actually find them on disk unopened and new so that I can actually put them on my account… Probably not… 1 Reply nome aqui Reply to  Lex 18 hours ago never give EA your money. Sail the high seas 2 Reply Ehhhh Reply to  Lex 17 hours ago Just saying but the game was on sale for like $4 with DLC a couple of times 🙂 2 Reply LadyAmron 17 hours ago I’ve been trying to pay the Sims Medieval and it no longer works. 🙁 0 Reply Jen 12 hours ago This sucks, I’ve always wanted to play the sims medieval and finally built my PC this year. Got to searching online TODAY for the game and this happens….. bummerrrrrr 0 Reply chance 11 hours ago the moment a game is unavailable for purchase is the moment piracy is no longer considered theft 7 Reply .tdi_105{vertical-align:baseline}.tdi_105>.wpb_wrapper,.tdi_105>.wpb_wrapper>.tdc-elements{display:block}.tdi_105>.wpb_wrapper>.tdc-elements{width:100%}.tdi_105>.wpb_wrapper>.vc_row_inner{width:auto}.tdi_105>.wpb_wrapper{width:auto;height:auto}div.tdi_105{width:27%!important} .tdi_107,.tdi_107 .tdc-columns{min-height:0}.tdi_107,.tdi_107 .tdc-columns{display:block}.tdi_107 .tdc-columns{width:100%}.tdi_107:before,.tdi_107:after{display:table} .tdi_109{vertical-align:baseline}.tdi_109>.wpb_wrapper,.tdi_109>.wpb_wrapper>.tdc-elements{display:block}.tdi_109>.wpb_wrapper>.tdc-elements{width:100%}.tdi_109>.wpb_wrapper>.vc_row_inner{width:auto}.tdi_109>.wpb_wrapper{width:auto;height:auto}div.tdi_109{width:73%!important}@media (max-width:767px){div.tdi_109{width:100%!important}} .tdi_110{margin-bottom:1%!important;border-color:#0098ed!important;border-radius:5px!important;width:96%!important;border-style:solid!important;border-width:2px 0px 0px 0px!important;position:relative} .tdm_block_column_content .tdm-image-holder{position:relative;display:block;height:0;margin-bottom:24px;padding-bottom:70%}.tdm_block_column_content .tdm-image-holder:hover .tdm-hover-img{opacity:1}.tdm_block_column_content .tdm-image-holder>div{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:center center;background-size:cover}.tdm_block_column_content .tdm-hover-img{opacity:0;-webkit-transition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;transition:all 0.4s ease-in-out}.tdm_block_column_content:hover .tdm-col-content-title-url .tdm-title{color:var(--td_theme_color,#4db2ec)}.tdm_block_column_content .tdm-title-xxsm,.tdm_block_column_content .tdm-title-xsm{margin-bottom:20px}.tdm_block_column_content .tdm-title-md{margin-bottom:14px}.tdm_block_column_content .tdm-title-bg{margin-bottom:16px}.tdm_block_column_content .tdm-descr{margin-bottom:0}.tdm_block_column_content .tds-button{margin-top:25px}@media (max-width:767px){.tdm_block_column_content .tdm-image-holder{margin-bottom:14px}} .tdi_110_rand_style{ border-radius:5px !important; background-color:#99ffe7 !important; } body .tdi_111 .tdm-title{color:#3c00c9}.tdi_111 .tdm-title{font-family:BergenText-Bold!important;font-size:22px!important;font-weight:900!important}@media (max-width:767px){.tdi_111 .tdm-title{font-size:18px!important}}LATEST POSTS
