Back in May of 2013, Origin’s Twitter account posted an Instagram photo of a bunch of Sims in a photo frame. Given that we had yet to see any Sims 4 characters at the time, we took Origin’s “word” that these were not Sims 4 characters, and perhaps some next gen “Sims Freeplay”.

@SimsVIP Digging up old tweets eh? It’s ancient Sims 4 concept art (so *technically* not the game); it doesn’t 1:1 reflect the current game.
