    I love this game!

    Edit: True to my word, I’m editing my review now that the bug is fixed. I came into this game hoping it was like the old Sims that I used to play on a now ancient PC. It’s not quite the same, but it’s not quite different if that makes sense. I do wish that EA would add more hobbies and make it easier to access careers from past events such as the photography career. More hobbies and careers would, in my opinion, make the game perfect. The addition of the eco workshop which allows players to craft past items that they’ve missed out on was an excellent idea and usually offers a good selection of items once players have unlocked all four slots. In order to progress at the rate that you want to, you probably will need to spend some real money. How quickly you want to progress determines how much you need to spend. The game provides an excellent escape from reality when you need it which, I feel, is the whole point of a life simulation game. As someone who has spent quite a bit of real money in a game that I love, I’m extremely disappointed to see the casual response to the Black Friday Bronze Pack issue. Aside from the money I’ve previously spent, I spent money on the gold and silver packs only to find that the bronze is unavailable for iOS users and so we cannot get the free pack. EA’s lackadaisical response is reminiscent of the famous emoji. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Won’t be spending any more money or changing my review until it’s fixed or at least taken seriously.

    Great: But anything can improve

    I’ve been playing this game for a year or two now, and I love it. It’s super fun, but like I said in the title even the greatest things can become better. First: I’m on level 37 or 38 now, the only reward I get is a little Simcash. Second: I finished all the stories I’ve unlocked, and every time I retire a sim and try to get an heirloom for a new story I don’t, I get a trait. Or I get something I already have, and have to sell it. So add more stories, more jobs, more hobbies, more of everything. More of EVERYTHING! Third: I love the clothes they are unique and awesome, but I wish I could create clothes. Not like Izzy’s, that’s fun but I want to create my own clothing. Like where you can customize and create your own pieces of clothing. Fourth: Pets. I play three sim games. Sim City, Sims FreePlay, and this of course. I have pets in FreePlay. I like having pets and I can’t in this game. Fifth: My favorite events are when you collect Duckies or Competition Medals or Lunch Bags, and use four hundred of them to buy a bag where you get something. We don’t have enough of these events. Sixth: Sweet Treat Showdown is fun, but it takes a lot of time and if you lose you have to pay valuable SimCash, which honestly you have to save up which is really hard. So please, take my suggestions in consideration. This is a really fun game, but I want some changes. Thanks. Yours Truly, A dedicated Player of Sims games.

    Wonderful, but a few flaws

    I had this game a while back and it got a bit boring so I deleted it but I got it again like a week ago. I forgot how fun it was! It isn’t technically like real life but it’s pretty close! I love how fir different relationships you can pick different paths because not all relationships are the same. There is a problem with that though. It’s really easy to cheat on your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife. All you gotta do is get flirty with someone then bam! First date at the cafe shows up. It doesn’t even matter if you have the soulmates path for your other partner. It’s kind of annoying and very unrealistic. I also think that 30 energy is not enough. Even if you have a 1 hour event and you make it through it without running out of energy, you will probably be low. I think at least fifty energy would be better. A lot of people’s parents don’t let them buy things on apps and lemme tell you, cupcakes are hard to come by without physically buying them. Also the limited time tasks are a bit unfair. If you give me 15 steps and 10 of them are 8 hours, and you give me two days to finish, it is impossible. It might not be 10 steps but it is a lot. Right now I’m on step 12 and I only have 4 hours left. And I really wanted a kid too. Other than those pet peeves this game is wonderful! I play it every day. Peace

    Expecting the Expected, but was Unexpected

    Hi everyone! So I had been waiting for this game for a long time. During that long time the thought bubbles in my mind painted numerous pictures of what this game would look like, running out of fuel for the game, waiting forever in a day for my sim to come back from work, or getting lost in what to do like I was in the Sims Freeplay. When this dropped, I knew I had to find out if I could actually enjoy this game. Well whadoyouknow! I really liked it! Numerous stories you can give to your sims, collect heirlooms to pass down through generations, and your energy seems to have the perfect rate of depletion. In my opinion, they did great! I keep my sims running on the quick interactions and I seem to have energy all day. My only criticism here is the variety of decoration. Sure they have many different color schemes to choose from, but the next house is sure to have the same sofa, rugs, counter tops, beds, etc. $15 for a Virtual bedroom set isn’t just a no for me! While this pricing is based on a pre-release, it’s still very steep. If you want to stand apart from other houses by more than just color, prepare to bring out your wallets... not the fake simoleon ones either. This is the real deal. Guys this is a great game! Level 23 in about a week! I wasn’t expecting it to be so fancy :), but it’s sophistication is pretty nice.

    I don’t like the new update, but everything else is ok..

    Hello! I have rated this game a 3 out of 5 stars because, the new update that just happened a while ago wasn’t what I’d expected. I love the part that you could speed up time on events with cupcakes, that’s fine. But the only one other part has driven me insane, I didn’t like is the green house tickets. As you may know when I look on something to buy on the catalog you had to have this amount of heirloom tickets, you gotta be kidding me right? I also wanted to expand a room a little bit more for some space, apparently not! I had to have heirloom tickets again! I hate this update so much! Oh, I forgot about the events. The events for getting married and having a child takes way to long. Before the update, you had to by a single crib and be done with it. Now for the marriage part, you have to complete 15 TASKS! 15!! Oh, and your probably like, “Pshhh that’s sooo easy!” nope! All of the events are 4 whole hours! I don’t want to waste my time playing the sims like this, especially, they give you a deadline to complete the events. Some of them are rushed at the last minute and is to stressful to take in since all the events are 4 whole hours. To this point, it feels like I don’t want to even play this game anymore. Hope you could make some changes, I’ll appreciate it.

    I wish it was more like the Sims 4 on PC

    I love the game and glad that mobile players have an updated way to play the Sims. However, the changes the creators made on the Sims Mobile are things that even the Sims Freeplay have. I wish the Sims’ needs were in this game instead of the 30 amount of energy players are limited to. Also, I wish that things weren’t so expensive to pay for. For example, 40,000 to buy another plot for another household of Sims. Another difference from the PC game is that the babies our Sims have don’t automatically get added to the household. As well as players having to pay SimCash or having to complete a quest to get another slot in order to add another Sim to our household. Lastly, I wish that the game didn’t use real-life time for events. That makes the game so much less fun for me and most limited time quests (or all of the ones I’ve had so far) have players complete the really long 8-hour events. I wish that the game used the Sims’ time in their world instead of real time to avoid events taking so long to complete. Basically, I want players to be able to complete events on the Sims Mobile like players are able to on the PC game. Please make these changes in order for the game to be more like the PC version. Mobile games tend to be less fun compared to their PC counterparts. I just want these changes made so that the mobile game is more like the PC version, if possible by developers.

    An Amazing Game, but has it’s Flaws

    This games is really fun, I enjoy playing the sims on my computer and that’s what inspired me to download this game. I know not every game is perfect, and so I’m writing this review to explain the problems I face while playing. Unlike some games this game has no bugs or crashes so far when I played, but I do feel as though it’s a little hard to get money. Getting simoleons, I feel, is a lot more challenging then I wished it to be. And it doesn’t make it any better when everything is so expensive. I’m not planning on spending actual money on this game, and if that’s the only way, I’m not too stoked about it. I should be done with my rant, but while I’m at it I’m going to bring something else up. MAKE THE LIMITED QUESTS LONGER!! I was did the Wedding quest, and now I’m working on the baby quest. You literally get two days to complete then each, and each event is like 8 hours! As you maybe could tell, I didn’t finish complete the wedding quest, am I didn’t get the honeymoon suite. Which is fine, it’s just a game right? But it would be a lot better if the limited quests were a little longer, or shorten the events. Because you have to complete like 15 events in 2 days and they are each 8 hours long, and I don’t have the time to play this game 24/7. Thank you for reading, and I hope you could take my feedback in consideration, and make this game more enjoyable for everyone.

    Fun but kinda boring now

    I’ve been playing the sims mobile for more than a couple weeks and it’s the same thing over and over to do each day. Work on your sims career, interact with people, start a relationship with someone, have a child etc... it’s boring to me now doing the same thing every time I go into the game. I wish they would make an update to add pets that way you could train a dog or even do a competition or show showing off the dogs tricks. I also wish when the baby turned into a toddler it could play with more things like a pool or be able to interact more with family and possible make some friends. I think the to do list is stupid. What’s the point of it? Nothing in my opinion. I also wish you could garden or have more hobbies for the sims to do. In my opinion, the sims free play is more interesting now than this game. I used to play it and there’s much more to do and even upgrade your house. If pets were added at least make it so the characters could play with them and you can shop for accessories for them and be able to make the child look however you want when it’s a toddler or at least a teenager. I hate having to wait until a sim is able to retire in order to control a other sim or change their appearance. Please take into these considerations the next time the app is updated. Also one more thing it seems like the quests are around the same thing which is annoying. Also I don’t understand why things break cuz it’s stupid to pay to get it fixed.

    Love, but could be better

    I absolutely love the game, I have so much fun. However it can be hard to play because the events take so long, and Sims run out of energy so fast. I’ve unlocked everything for restoring energy, and the power ups, but it’s still hard when you can only use them every 2-39 hours......especially since you spend 2 of your sim’s energy to knock off a whole 2-4 minutes of an 8 hour event. 30 energy does not go far, wish that increased with level. The cupcakes help, but are rare to come by, and EXPENSIVE. It can take upwards of 5 cupcakes to complete an 8hr event in one sitting, it’s hard to justify spending the money. Also with Simcash was a little easier to come by, it’s really impossible to save up for anything when you can hardly find ways to get it. And again, spending $5 for 200 simcash, does NOT go far. Same with fashion gems. And life tickets. Only other thing I wish was different, is that there was a little more of the original sims in the game. Would love to see benefits from the sims interacting outside of an event. Overall, I think the game is much more focused on earning a high revenue than how enjoyable the game is. I think if you threw some extra “premium” goodies in the way of the users, and made the purchase options more reasonable, people would be much more inclined to both play often, and spend money. I have to say, I really find this game to be focused on earning money above everything else, the customer does NOT come first.

    Great game, but... (Must Read)

    So I downloaded the app Sims Mobile because my friend had the app Sims4 and I wanted to get it on my phone, but it turns out that Sims4 you can only get on a Mac, PC or whatever. It’s really fun but it takes a long time to complete events without wasting all your energy, a suggestion would be to have more like 50 energy instead of 30 energy. And also to make the events shorter. My two sims are in love and are soon to get married, but you can’t get married until you complete a million bazillion events. It’s a great game and you should download it if your willing to wait for like two or three hours each time you do something. If you aren’t get Sims Freeplay. It’s not as good configuration but it at least doesn’t take as long. 😒 Also, there should be a way to get more sim cash. Cupcakes restore your energy to make events go faster but each cupcake costs fifteen simcash or something like that. So maybe when the Sims work instead of just sim coins they should also get simcash. That would be more fair. 😔 Also, another reason you should be able to obtain more simcash is because when your sims get married they can perform a woohoo which is basically having a baby but you need a bigger bed to do that so you can’t have any babies until you get 150 simcash and you can’t get 150 simcash until there’s a way to obtain more simcash without paying!!! There are lots of things they should improve but over all it’s a fun app.



  • By lilly pad FAN!!!

    Amazing idea.....but too slow

    I love this game I really do, because I love playing the sims on my pc. So when I found out it was on mobile I was so excited to get to play my favorite game wherever! Until I found out how different it was from the sims on other consoles. Of course being a mobile game I didn’t expect much. But I just expected a little more. It’s like the sims game on other consoles just without all the packs, which is great because I don’t need packs and add ons to have fun. So when I saw that there was none of that I was ok with it. But the game itself is just so slow in progress. I kinda expected to be of a more “move at your own speed” kinda game. And when I say slow I don’t mean that my phone has trouble running the game, I mean it’s a very very slow process. It takes hours to do one thing!!!!! And that really makes me loose my patience to do anything else. So I would stop playing for hours and come back only to have to do it again 2 minutes later. There’s no real “GAMEPLAY” in my opinion. It’s all waiting and waiting and waiting. And when you finally get a family and your sims are happy, I personally didn’t feel any self accomplishment. I didn’t feel like I did anything but wait to get to that point. But the idea of having the Sims Mobile is great really it is! But I think they just need to change how the game works and id play it for hours. So I’m giving it a 3 for the idea, the design, and the hard work put into making it.

    Hard to Play

    First off, I really do enjoy playing this game. I downloaded it about 2-3 weeks ago and have been playing it fairly often since. I’m now level 23 and I have my couple relationship 100% so now I’m trying for a baby. You get almost 2 days to complete the quest to have a baby and to get the bassinet you’ll need. I’m on my 3rd 8 hour long back to back event in the baby chapter and c’mon creators! I don’t want to be a slave to this game. Why are you making it so hard? I’m also trying to upgrade my home and clear out land but it keeps getting more expensive with each upgrade. It was 1500 simoleons to clear out a small space of land and now I go to clear the land next to it and they want 2000. Now how am I supposed to make that money when you have me stuck in these 8 hour long events that only pay 300? We just don’t make that much money in this game. It definitely seems like it’s aimed at us BUYING simoleons/cash with our own money and that doesn’t make it any fun. They don’t even have a good deal for the simoleons. My suggest is improve the pay for jobs and hobby event completions. I want to thrive in this game but this is making me annoyed and just want to delete it. Also, there’s so much more to this game but I have to retire my sims in order to get a heirloom in order to unlock more things. So essentially you work hard on your sims, then they want you to retire them and start over a new sims and making even less money again. Lol.

    Kinda disappointed but rrly bored

    I love this game and I think it’s the closest thing to the Sims 4 on pc but it’s lacking in some areas. Firstly it’s highly repetitive. All we do is get a job, get a hobby and finish it. There’s nothing interesting about that. I think you should try to make it less repetitive. Secondly one thing I loved about the sims especially sims 3 was first person POV and walking around town myself, not just tapping on my screen and arriving places. I really like the graphics of this game but I think you should try incorporating some things from all the sims games to make it a good game. At first playing the game is really excited and intriguing but when you start getting the same quest over and over again about completing jobs and hobbies people begin to lose interest. Thirdly we need the needs back. Make our sims feel more like real people rather than robots on a screen. I enjoyed making my sims a meal whenever they were hungry and rushing them to the bathroom before they pee on themselves. I honestly just hate the way we only get two players at first and have to pay to get more. I enjoyed having big families in both the sims 3 and 4. Another thing we need back is different outfits for different occasions. I loved spending hours trying to figure out what my sims should wear for their athletic occasion. Idrk but the sims mobile has just been a disappointment and I hope that your listen to us and make the game more enjoyable

    Ok, but pretty slow gameplay

    This game is ok, and in some places, an improvement from other sims mobile games, because it has more options when it comes to character creation, and it gives you more ways to develop your sims’ hobbies, relationships, and jobs. At the same time, though, there are a lot of glaring issues. For one, the game only gives each of your sims a set amount of energy, which runs out from telling your sim to do things. Besides using a bed or shower for a few more energy points, it quickly can get used up. Once it runs low, you can either purchase a cupcake to refuel them, or wait until it fills back up again. This means a lot of waiting in between gameplay, and it can get a little tedious. With most events and jobs too, these can take over an hour to complete without paying for it with in game or real currency. There are not as much things to do with house design, since the plots are already small even if you buy all the land. Also, I don’t know if this issue was only with my device, or if it’s been fixed by now, but when I played the game, it would often lag or just immediately exit out of the app. This bug combined with the constant waiting and limited house design made me bored quickly, and I dropped the game after a month. If you enjoy less hands-on games, you might still enjoy this. Overall, the game is fun for a while, but needs some more additions to fully make it worth playing again.
