After teaming up on the blockbusters Barbie and Saltburn last year, the couple have been confirmed to be producing the adaptation of the popular EA video game under their LuckyChap Entertainment banner.
The video game giant has joined forces with Amazon MGM Studios on the film, which is being helmed by Kate Herron - whose directing credits include Loki and Sex Education - and she will co-write with Briony Redman.
EA Entertainment president Laura Miele told Variety: "Teaming up with renowned Hollywood powerhouses, this exciting new chapter for The Sims will bring its magic to millions more fans.
"It's a testament to the enduring power of this beloved franchise, which has captivated more than 500 million players for a quarter of a century. Our commitment to innovate across The Sims universe of experiences and products will inspire all generations of Simmers."
EA vice president and general manager of The Sims franchise Kate Gorman hopes to emulate the success of 2023's Barbie movie, which was the biggest-selling movie of the year.
"What I will tell you is it's very much rooted in The Sims universe," Gorman said.
"We wanted the right partners and to make an impact the size of something like a Barbie movie is exactly what we want. And we know there's so much love and nostalgia, probably beyond what we would even realise, for The Sims and so many people like us have played throughout generations.
"So we want this to be an experience that reflects all that amazing history and play of so many people in this world, but also is something that you can share across generations and to be part of pop culture and culturally relevant."
