It's the moment we've all been waiting for.

Gaming company EA has announced that The Sims will soon be coming to iPhone and Android devices.

And we don't mean The Sims like the previous ones that we got, that were really different from the original game we all loved growing up. (I'm looking at you, The Sims FreePlay, and The Sims Social.)

This one is said to be truest to the one that was released 17 years ago.

Needless to say, people are pretty psyched.

Players will be able to create their Sim, build them homes and customise their looks, much like they did in the original.

The Sims Mobile also comes with additional features such as being able to unlock valuable heirlooms, and follow Sim families through generations.

It's not yet clear when the game will be launched, so all we can do now is sit back and wait with bated breath.
