Robbie's production company announced plans to make a live-action movie based on the popular 'The Sims' computer games—and diehard fans know exactlly what they want to have happen in the film.

After getting all dolled up in last year's box office behemoth, Barbie, Margot Robbie is bouncing from Barbie Land to the gaming world of The Sims for her next cinematic venture.

LuckyChap Entertainment, the Hollywood production company Robbie co-founded with Tom Ackerley, Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr, announced it's set to produce a film adaptation of The Sims.


The Sims is a wildly popular lifestyle simulation video game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. Players create virtual personalities known as "Sims" and the environments they interact in, and basically play god while they shape the lives of their Sims, from having families to getting promotions at work and more.

Created in February 2000, The Sims is an extension of the Sim series that began with SimCity in 1989 and has become one of the best-selling game series of all time.

It's unsurprising then that a movie based on another alternate world was inevitable, especially one with Robbie's production company attached.

The Sims movie is still in early development with no cast members attached. However, Loki director and exec producer Kate Herron will direct and co-write the screenplay alongside Briony Redman, according to Variety.

Millennial gamers rejoiced over the news and had a range of reactions starting with speculation the movie would center on the Bella Goth mystery.

Sims fans know Bella Goth as the iconic face of the game series. She is a dark-haired female character in a red dress that has appeared as various iterations in all games of the series.

She mysteriously vanished in Sims 2, but a character resembling her with different physical features was touted as the real Bella by game creator Maxis.

Fans, however, remained convinced Bella was abducted by aliens while another theory claimed that a version of the character found in Strangetown was a clone of her.

TikToker @mynameisgonz summarized the mystery of Bella Goth in a viral video in 2023 that is now as relevant as ever.

With all the mystique around Bella, maybe fans will finally get some answers in the movie.


Fans also had a few suggestions for the upcoming film to ensure another box office success for LuckyChap, like its predecessor, Barbie.




Hopes are high.



Some scratched their heads over logistics.



While not much is known about the plot, one thing is for sure—with a movie based on a game for creative minds, there are no shortage of ideas until more details are released.
