Primark Unleashes Noughties Nostalgia with Gaming-Themed Pajamas

Fans of the iconic noughties video game, The Sims, are enthusiastically embracing a new pyjama line launched by high-street retailer Primark. Renowned for its popular nightwear, including the consistently in-demand boyfriend-style PJs, Primark has tapped into the nostalgia of the early 2000s gaming phenomenon. The collection has already caused a stir, with many shoppers rushing to stores to acquire the full range.
The Sims, first released in 2000, quickly became a global sensation, selling over 200 million copies worldwide. It allowed players unparalleled creative freedom to design and control virtual characters, managing every aspect of their lives, from personality traits and housing to relationships and careers. This deep engagement fostered a strong connection with its fanbase, which is now reignited by Primark's themed apparel.
The new pyjama line features several beloved elements from the game. One prominent design showcases the popular phrase 'Sul Sul,' which means 'hello' in Simlish, the unique language spoken by the game's characters. Another standout item incorporates the legendary 'motherlode' cheat code (Ctrl + Shift + C), a secret command that instantly granted players 50,000 Simoleons, the game's virtual currency, providing a nostalgic nod to classic gameplay.
Primark has made the collection accessible with various styles and sizes. The 'Sul Sul' boxy top and shorts set is available in sizes XXS to XXL and priced at £11. For those preferring the retailer's popular boyfriend style, a set is also offered in the same size range for £22. The launch has garnered significant excitement, with shoppers expressing their eagerness online through comments like, "I’m RUNNING to Primark" and "Take my money for all of the collection pleaaase." Many are particularly drawn to the 'motherlode' cropped top, with one fan exclaiming, "I NEED the motherlode t-shirt," and another noting it "is TOTALLY giving me flashbacks from good old times." Even Primark staff members have been seen enthusiastically purchasing items for their personal use. Customers who have already bought the PJs commend their quality, describing them as "super comfy and soft" and "perfect for Autumn cosiness."
