The first Sims game was released in 2000 and has gone on to become a household name and brand, with multiple versions available across gaming platforms and more than 200 million copies sold.
At its core, The Sims is a simulation game in which players can play as a Sim with different skills, relationships and personality traits.
There is no real narrative to The Sims, with players being in control of their Sims, so there isn't much to note about what the film could be about.
Along with Robbie, Josey McNamara and Tom Ackerley will also produce with Vertigo Entertainment's Roy Lee.
