Our Expert Score

90/100

The Sims FreePlay remains the gold standard for life simulation on mobile. What’s truly impressive is how EA has managed to maintain a decade-long live service that still feels fresh. The level of customization—from the architecture of your Sim’s home to the specific career paths they follow—is staggering for a free-to-play title.

While the real-time mechanics (waiting for a Sim to finish sleeping or working) might test the patience of some players, it encourages a 'check-in' playstyle that fits perfectly into a daily routine. The community events and frequent updates bring in everything from high-fashion furniture to seasonal festivities, ensuring that your virtual town is constantly evolving. It is a massive, charming, and deeply personal sandbox.

just a few suggestions
Wed Jan 08 2025 🌿🍓🍄coolshrooms🤟🏽

sooo I’ve played both the sims mobile games, and most of the sims games as well. So I actually prefer these weirdly realistic graphics over the kind of cartoonish new ones. I actually do like the timers because it gives you a break from the game. I also think that the energy system in this is waaaay better, and takes less time to deplete. I just wish there were events or different types of romantic interests. You can keep flirting with your nemesis or your best friend, but there’s no certain paths for those. I also wish there were more curated events to keep the audience engaged, but I do like this one more. It’s a disconnect and isn’t too addicting at times. I think there should also be like a body/face toggle??? because girlll..I want to make my characters unique…! I think the Life Points or LPs are so hard to get if you’re not leveling up and avoiding the game, maybe like try a farming thing or something because it’s very impossible once you’ve run out. There should also be more clothes, hair and accessories options, because it feels so limited, don’t get me wrong I love some of the clothes but they are very 2010s. There’s only so much you can do, so the newer sims definitely wins in those regards. I think getting mad at other sims cheating or something like a reaction would be cool, hopefully people are still working on this game. Or some type of game to do during the waiting periods, hmm or maybe not. I do appreciate the ads though.

A few suggestions

First off, I love this game. I’ve been playing for 6 years and have created a BEAUTIFUL sims world. There are a few things that I would love to see in an update. I think it would be nice to have not only mothers, fathers, and grandparents be named but also aunts, uncles, cousins etc. I also think it would be nice for a sim holding a baby to be able to do other things as she has the baby in her arms, such as watch tv, cook, interact with others. It would also be cute to be able to take your baby in the pool being held. Not only for a few seconds for the entire time until you make them get out. I do like the design of the sims however it would be nice to include a few basic body types other then terrifying skinny. It would also be convenient to be able to have your sim wear makeup and have a tattoo or sunglasses, in real life you can have more then 1. The 10 sims max rule on a house is a little ridiculous. How can you have a sim party if no one can come!? I think depending on the house square footage it can vary but definitely make it realistic. This isn’t mandatory but having some more choices when it comes to the appearance of sims would be cool, more hairstyles, clothing, faces, customization. I know a lot of people also feel that there should be easier ways to getting life points sense they are so important in the game and realistically to get anywhere you have to buy them with real money. Love this game but a few things would make it perfect. Thank you so much for reading.

I wish it was more realistic
Mon Jan 22 2024 It’smehi

I love this game, it’s awesome, and I’m really glad we have a little more time for quest now. Sure I have trouble saving up but usually after I save, it only takes a day or so after that. It’s nice to now have to live in my screen. I think the game is more realistic than most games but some parts of it seem a bit strange. I mean all the sims and stuff are pretty realistic looking but sometimes I wonder, why does it take 9 hours to post a cat video, but only 9 seconds to give birth? Like really even I don’t stare at my phone and take NINE hours to send a cat video. Or I also don’t take 10 hours debating whether or not to ride down a water slide. I also think that a lot of the things in the shop seem WAY overpriced, I’m not going to pay ten dollars for a few outfits. I mean I guess it has less ads then most games though so that’s a bonus. I also think that maybe you should be able to trade in a bunch of simleons for life points or something, and maybe toddlers should be able to be picked up too, and maybe for quest you should be able to go back and redo them for money/life points/simleons/social points once you’ve finished all the levels because there are some rewards I wish I got but just didn’t have time. One thing I like about this game is that I feel like I’m being heard, twice now I’ve been able to fill out a form to let them know what is working and what’s now. I LOVE this game, and would definitely recommend it to people looking for a fun and interactive game to play.

Species selection which is human underneath that would be a ghoul vampire werewolf or any panthera Leo which is like a werewolf buts it’s a lion it’s permanent form is human but like ghouls their eyes can shapeshifter from standard human eyes to lion eyes and they have the same abilities as lions including diet of a lionand if you want can you add all animal versions of this with the same abilities and all animals which is a human but a mutant one and all animal and different types of them in breeds under animals when selected And genetics like the sims 4 has that’s similar to the function of sims 4 but using the same function for sims FreePlay and genetics you can add but not like sims 4 it will be completely different you know we’re the options give your sim on sims FreePlay in having children or child Were you female sim can go through the nine day event or six day event we’re the nine day one coast 2 life points and the other which is 6 coast 5 and the final one which allows you to add a child to your town coasting 3 life points and this fourth option will be genetics now like I said it’s not like sims 4 it’s similarly but different we’re you spend any amount of life points you guys choose and when it’s spend it will apparat the Sam way when you add a child to your town or give birth were the baby loads and after the baby loads loads it will go to the creation home screen where the baby will look exactly like both parents merging the parents genetics to make the child

Amazing game, some suggestions
Mon Apr 10 2023 je suis ne contente pas

First of all, this is a great game. I have been playing for years and I love creating stories in my Sims’ lives. I have some suggestions for how to make this already awesome game even better. First, I think Life Points (LPs) should be easier to get. So much in the game depends on my having lots of LPs. If there could be something like weekly quests to get LPs, that would make the game so much more enjoyable. I also think that infants should be able to interact with toddlers and preteens. I want two siblings to be able to interact with each other before they’re both teenagers. I’ve noticed that all of my Sims have the same body build. It could be fun to be able to change my Sim’s body, and maybe control height too. Also, maybe a child’s height or other features could be determined by that of their parents. This might be kind of complicated electronically, but these are just some suggestions. I’ve read some other reviews and some people talked about giving pets more options. I agree with that. I love taking my dog to parks, and it would be fun if my Sims could do that too. One thing that would make this game so much more interesting is if Sims could get sick or injured or even injure other Sims. A little bit of drama would make things all the more exciting. Thanks for reading and I hope these suggestions could help. See you in the next update! Sincerely, Devoted Player

I love this game highly addictive I play every day I don’t have any complaints except for one ☝️, events like the sim chase, crafting station events, the 9 day pregnancy event, and then the sandy suburb area is always there, all happen during each other they don’t start at the same time but they all do start while another is not finished. All of these include actions where upwards of 20-28 sims need to be doing a certain action making in impossible to finish all events in the time given. I started the pregnancy event a few hour before the window closed to start playing and around 4 days ago the sim chase started I figured I would start that when I finished the pregnancy event because there’s not enough sims to finish both pregnancy, simchase, and sandy suburbs all at the same time and when I went to start it even though I did not go to the nightclub to start the challenge my rival is already almost done. This doesn’t even include the side timed events that have been happening in between, if you guys could just make it so that long timed events that will require more than 10 sims at a time not start all at the same time that would be AMAZING. Or even better is make it so you can start the event when you want within a certain time frame ( like time to start event expires when the previous event is done or close to done ) like you guys do with pregnancy events which I would prefer. Unless you have thousands of social points it would be impossible to finish all simultaneously.

I have been downloading this game and deleting it multiple times over the last few years and every single time I download it I cannot get past level nine without having to spend my own money from my bank account or spending nine days doing tasks. Can you please make the pregnancy quest optional or at least not as ridiculous as it is respectfully I have no way to get past level nine without complaining this ridiculous nine day long quest unless I buy lifestyle points, which I don’t have the money for and this is why I keep deleting the game because I keep getting stuck in these quest where I quite literally cannot get past them without having to spend money if you guys could please fix this I know this isn’t extremely common complaint about the pregnancy quest if this game could be a little less about you guys making money and a little more about us having fun I think people would be more entitled to actually spend money, but it’s really frustrating when you spend hours on this game and then you get to a level where every single task which is stupid like eating corn from the fridge or morning sickness takes 12 hours. That is ridiculous. It’s not even humanly possible for me to get this question done in the time that it’s supposed to be done without using money to buy lifestyle points. I would really appreciate if this could be made optional or something else would be great honestly or I’m just unfortunately gonna be forced to delete the game.

super fun but a few tips
Wed Mar 22 2023 ray2swaggy

Sims Freeplay is overall an amazing game. The quality of the graphics may not be the best, but the gameplay itself provides players with a huge variety! Nevertheless, I would like to elaborate more on the negative side today. (aka giving out tips for the developers) First of all, as I have already stated, the graphics could definitely use a touch up. The characters look a little funky, and could definitely use more options for customization. A suggestion I’d really love would be more young looking + generally attractive face options for characters. Maybe even ones that represent more of different ethnic features! I am a 19 year old male and when I was customizing my character, all of the faces looked like 30 year olds..😅 Another part of the game I didn’t really like was that some tasks take too long. I understand that Sims Freeplay is supposed to kind of be a wait-and-come-back game, where you do things in the game and wait a few hours to get back into it. But cmon, who really needs to spend 3 hours watching cat videos? Moving on, this suggestion doesnt have much to be elaborated on. I just think weather would be another good addition to the game. You can only obtain it through an Alien Concept Quest. Lastly, I’d like to suggest for players to be able to do more with their pets. Examples would be walking them, grooming them, giving them accessories, teaching them tricks, etc! Love Sims Freeplay ❤️ Yall keep going with the updates <3
