It’s good BUT PLEASE READ

PLEASEE PLEASE PLEASE add more longer hair that is free and long hair with bangs please and I don’t get why pregnant sims can’t cook it makes no sense to me but overall the game is pretty good

New update!

Huge fan of the Sims replay like I love it. It keeps me preoccupied, even when I have nothing else better to do but sidenote from what I’ve known off the game that needs a huge change is I feel that if we’re gonna bring a baby into the Sims world that parent needs or should stay home with the infant until the infant because more independent for a parent to return to work it leaves me flabbergasted that the parents could go to work and leave an infant at home alone, especially on a game. It’s bad enough that in reality people are doing it. We should set better and more positive example through a game, that should be more product where there should be a changing station for the parent to change the baby on more interaction is needed in the game when having an infant being able to sit with the baby on the rocking chair, whether it cradling it to sleep, feeding it or just cuddling with it I feel there should be more interactions as a baby goes growing like tummy time and other things like that I also feel that there should be task where the parents could do the task with the baby to interact with it more like taking it for a walk in a stroller or a car ride.. also assign note to all this the prices in simolen coins and other earnings should be a little bit more cheaper. The prices is way too expensive.

I wish it was more realistic

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. I LOVE this game though and thanks for all the updates!

I THINK I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE SO EA PLEASE LISTEN UP WE LOVE YOU

I love this game and I have been playing it for such a long time now that I feel like it’s time for some more changes to it, I think you guys should add more options in all relationships not just romance but platonic and family, like with parents their should be choices to ground them or call a babysitter and just overall I think those realistic emotional options will make the game a million times more enticing and enjoyable. I also feel like their should be more playable options that get you to level up that are more enjoyable and less task like because that makes the game feel like a chore and not as exciting as you would want it. I would love to see some better graphics and more attention to detail especially in terms for the people and maybe add an option to customize features rather than just give general face options because it doesn’t make thing’s realistic which is part of the fun of the game. I think you guys should consider making this game a lot more adventurous in a fun way and less of a stressful and challenging way since it’s supposed to be a free flowing game. In conclusion it’s a fun game but it need a bit more attention to it in terms of graphics, playable objects, freedom of choice, freedom of movement, freedom of verbal expression and actions.

Too much waiting

So I really love this game. It’s super fun to play. My only complaint is the tasks take way too long. I started to do the Tumbleweed Terrace quest, and I can’t see myself even getting the grand prize. For starters, you only have 24 hours to finish every task. I figured the tasks would be reasonable for the amount of time given, but that’s not the case at all. I’ll have a task that will literally take 8 hours, and that’s only one task. And keep in mind, they have multiple tasks. It’s very unachievable. It would be nice if they would make achievable tasks instead of dumping tasks that aren’t achievable. Plus I actually have a life so the clock literally starts when I’m not in the game. Since it’s a 24 hour task, you’d figure it would start when you start the tasks for the day, but nope. It starts on its own schedule. My other complaint is when the value of your town goes up, the harder it get to buy other properties/building. I’m pretty sure it took me 5 days to save up so that I could purchase the restaurant building because it was apart of a progression quest. It’d be nice if these were fixed. I really like playing this game, and I’d hate to stop playing because of these inconveniences. Because going into the game everyday just to save money or stress I’m not going to meet a deadline is boring. I come here to escape reality and for entertainment, not to just live it in a digital screen.

Crashing

The app keeps crashing. Please fix this.

Amazing game, some suggestions

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

super fun but a few tips

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

Desperately needs bug fixes and more time for quests

nd had to age up my sim for it to fix, but now it’s happened again and my sim is level 9 so I don’t want to age her up. It’s been almost a month and nothing has worked. I’ve tried restoring from last iCloud save (which I tried right after it happened and didn’t work) turning my phone off and back on, finding a way to force crash the app or go to the last version and nothing has helped. The app still hasn’t updated so I’m hoping it updating fixes it but idk what to do if it doesn’t other than emailing customer service which I don’t want to do.

On the quest side, you don’t have enough time for anything outside of like weekly quests. All times quests have maybe 2-4 hours to spare for the entire event and if you use that you’ll have to use a ridiculous amount of life or social points to complete it. The worst is downtown developer events. Those are weeks long and no spare time, you have to set alarms for every 4 hours if you want to complete it and win the final prize. To complete a single resource it’s like 75 social pints for the cheapest and over 1,000 for the most expensive and the later stages require 20 of each resource. I’m sure the geologist will help with that, but you’d still have to spend a ton of time and $15 each time you do the downtown developer to complete it.

To be honest, it’s getting to be more stressful and a headache than it’s worth and I’m close to deleting the game because it’s not enjoyable anymore

Progression is too slow

It’s a great game outside of one flaw that makes it not worth playing whatsoever, and that’s the progression. Please Please PLEASE just make the game like Sims 4 for PC where you can pace the game however you want. I figure the reason the pacing is slow is because there’s not enough content/ replay-ability (which is kinda understandable for a mobile game) for the game to be able to be played fast but still… It’s so slow it’s not enjoyable. I wanna sit down and play for an hour or so when i’m bored, not 5 mins then come back in 8 hours to play another 5 minutes. Thats just not an enjoyable gaming experience, even for mobile. Maybe some people like it 🤷🏻‍♂️ but please make it an option to change pacing cause some people I’ve seen don’t like just like me.

I’ve been playing this game for about almost 7 years on and off and no matter how hard I try to enjoy it, I just get so bored within about 2 weeks. I never make it far before restarting and giving it another chance after like a year of leaving it alone. It just seems like a bad marketing decision to stretch a games lifespan with timers. It seems lazy. Why can’t this game be an imitation of the PC version? I really don’t understand cause it seems like a lose lose but idk maybe it’s just me.
