The Sims Fandom was founded on February 6, 2005, five years after the release of The Sims and a month before the release of The Sims 2: University. The Fandom grew over time, gathering Fandom about the Fandom that had been released up to that Fandom. Growth increased after the release of The Sims 3 in 2009, and with the debut of the Fandom Guide (formerly Tutorial) namespace in 2011. Despite having thousands of Fandom about the Fandom and everything in them, the work of expanding and improving the Fandom is never over.
