### 3/5 — A good way to play

*2026-06-18*

its somehow slightly worse than the latest console releases, but at least i can play wherever i go. camera sensitivity is a great addition, but man if you try to rotate during any build mode, you might pick up stuff on accident MULTIPLE times, and unlike the latest versions, there is no undo mode. bummer. other than that, its still the same ol choppy building game i love.

### 2/5 — meh

*2026-05-19*

tutorial/intro cutscene was so unbearable and has no skip button or easier way to make dialogue faster. also the customization thing is super annoying, small hitboxes and the character moves when you try to tap it so i accidentally click the eyes instead of the hair and have to cycle through everything again and you can't control whether you go forward or back so definitely should make it less complicated. it would also be cool to customize your own townspeople but maybe you can and i just didnt get far enough.

### 3/5 — Можно лучше

*2026-03-28*

Игра интересная,но вы бы хоть давали какие то подсказки где брать ту или иную вещь,я забросила игру,потому что не могу понять где взять печенье,чтобы сделать морозилку в магазин мороженого,объясните пожалуйста. Да и все остальные вещи тоже очень тяжело искать,ладно русского нет,но даже с английским уровнем не поймешь что и куда делать

### 3/5 — Update?!

*2026-03-15*

I wish yall would add a note section! Or when you find the items it tell you where to find them at.

### 3/5 — Needs more zoom out

*2026-02-22*

I’m sure I would really enjoy this game but I can’t even zoom out far enough to see what I’ve built. Takes the fun out of it lol but it seems like without that issue it would be a good game to play

### 2/5 — Loved it until…

*2026-01-29*

Honestly, this game is so nostalgic and I’m so happy I was able to play it for awhile but sadly I don’t recommend switching between iPad and iPhone even though they connect to your game centre. It can easily corrupt your saved game. I saved my game on my phone and then tried to load it on my iPad and there was no saved games anymore in “load game” section. I am unable to load the game on both devices now as the save files doesn’t exist but it was very fun until that happened though I was just close to getting five stars so I probably won’t be starting it again :(

### 2/5 — I’m confused

*2026-01-27*

I love this game but have no tasks available and I’ve talked to every person multiple times why?

### 2/5 — Better with the game

*2026-01-24*

I’m stuck on a level I’m losing interest in the game it’s hard to play and I love playing games but it’s difficult to play when you beat at the task

### 3/5 — Needs A Help Section

*2026-01-20*

I Love This Game Used To Play It All The Time As A Kid But I’m Having Trouble Finding The Spider Essence, Some Of My Prospecting Areas Aren’t Working This Game Definitely Needed A Help Option Or Atleast Something Telling Is Where To Locate The Essence

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-01-18*

I remember playing this on my DS back in the day, I like it a lot more on my phone though! Gotta give credit where it’s due too they made sure to keep controller players in mind on this💯

### 5/5 — Please add more sims games

*2026-01-15*

Please add like sims busting out sims one sims 2 sims castaway omg pleaseeeeee

### 5/5 — Love! Suggested Update

*2026-01-13*

I love this game and the retro animation style. I think it would be so fun to add an update with ten stars instead of five and points for helping townies with new problems and added locked areas that you can unlock with each star.

### 5/5 — Нет

*2026-01-12*

Игра супер но нет русского языка. И не будет пока не закончится война. Жаль

### 2/5 — Sound not working at all

*2026-01-12*

After doing all the troubleshooting, the sound on this game still won't work. All the settings on my phone and game say it's supposed to be on, but nope, nothing.

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-01-09*

Wish you guys would make more!!

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2026-01-08*

One of my all time favorite games, used to play this all the time growing up, and I’m so glad it’s accessible on mobile now! They kept the gameplay the same too so it’s still the same nostalgic cozy adventure

### 1/5 — Нет русского языка.

*2026-05-19*

В 2026 году, нельзя выбрать язык. Оценка продукта соответсвенно, а сама игра для мобильного телефона в принципе сойдет.

### 1/5 — Glitch maybe..

*2026-03-20*

I’m having trouble with bypassing the podium.  At first the box where she check mark supposed to be wasn’t there. Refreshed so many times until I deleted it. Then the box appeared so I made the podium again. A check appears but the game must not be registering that the podium was built. Trying not to uninstall the game but I’m highly annoyed.

### 1/5 — Пропали сохранненые слоты

*2026-02-10*

Все было идеально до тех пор пока у меня не пропали сохраненные слоты. Эту проблему вообще можно решить ?

### 1/5 — Unplayable movement mechanics

*2026-02-05*

I could not even complete the tutorial. The movement makes me motion sick. The ‘joystick’ doesn’t respond intuitively. And it takes way too long to travel between locations.

### 1/5 — Нет русского языка

*2025-12-31*

Очень разочарована,что нет перевода

### 1/5 — Full of bugs

*2025-12-13*

The whole game is full of bugs, its exclusive to apple arcade and I have a macbook pro which should have enough power to play this but the entire thing bugs out, outfits dont load in CAS, you try and change and outfit or hair colour or skin tone and half of the sim goes completly black, my curser completly disappeared and it got stuck just spinning my sim in circles. Slow slow slow. Ive logged thousands of hours of TS4 but literally clicked out of this game while still in CAS because it was just to buggy.

### 1/5 — Добавьте русский язык пожалуйста

*2025-11-21*

Обожаю эту игру, как жаль... Так хотелось поиграть

### 1/5 — Bad camera control

*2025-11-20, version 1.1*

This game left a bad impression on me at the beginning. The bad camera control makes every step of the game difficult, and you can't even build a complete house in a happy mood! The rotation of the lens not only controls the magnification and reduction, but also controls the rotation of the house. Obviously, the two are not well balanced.

### 1/5 — Terrible design

*2025-11-20, version 1.1*

Character creation is tedious, as you must cycle through all options to get back to a previous choice. Then once I started the game, it apparently didn’t save. So I really have no interest in creating another character if I don’t even know when it will save.

### 1/5 — 조작감이 최악이에요.

*2025-11-19*

닌텐도로 마이심즈를 많이 했던터라 반갑게 설치했는데요.
스크래치 수준의 미션들, 듣도보도 못한 길게 눌러 뒤로가기.. 집만드는데 카메라이동도 안되고, 만드는 재미도 없어 그냥 포기합니다.
이정도로 사용성 최적화가 안된건 실수 같아요.

### 5/5 — 추억의게임 ㅜㅜ

*2026-07-24*

15년전에했던 게임이 한국어로 가능한것만으로도 너무 기쁘네요 버그는 아직 잘모르겠고 재미있게 플레이했습니다.
주민들이 가구 만들어주라는 퀘스트는 주민집에 들어가서 집주인에게 말건다음에 선물주기로 가구 설치까지해줘야 완료입니다. 중간에 주는 지렛대나 도끼톱 같은건 마을 구석가장자리에 돋보기 아이콘뜨는곳에 사용하면됩니다(진행하다보면 돋보기 아이콘이 다른그림으로 바뀌면서 사용할수있게됩니다)

가구만들때 번짝이는 부분만 메꿔줘도 완료되구요. 캐릭터마다 기쁠때주는 정수와 싸웟을때주는 정수가 다른 소소한 재미가 있습니다. 단순한 게임이니 조금만 하면 편하게 하실 수 있을거에요

челы, вы пытались открыть майсимс википедию или переводчик?

### 5/5 — Literally my all time favorite game 🥰

*2026-03-28*

I adore this game so much. 

The graphics are adorable, the sound design is calming, the gameplay is relaxing, the music is so good, it's amazing, it takes me back to those classic 3DS life sims (arguably better than the actual My Sims game that's on the 3DS, imo)

If I had to complain, there's a few oddities, like the camera when you're building stuff is a little buggy, there's not a ton of direction, so I was a little bit lost, and I really don't like the customization function at all (I hate having to tap through options on the buildings and character to change it, instead of having a menu of the customization options on the side or something, because I often do this thing where, when I tap something close to the item I'm done customizing, I end up changing it by accident, so I have to go back and start over)

But those complaints don't ruin the game, this is still a fantastic game and I love it 😻 I'd give it 10/5 stars if I could.

### 5/5 — Amazing - favourite childhood game

*2026-03-13*

Absolutely love this! Since downloading I’ve sat here for hours and cannot wait to get it on my PlayStation! Hoping you bring out the original my sims from the DS onto new platforms as you’ve done with my sims kingdom, that was my all time favourite and would spend money to get it on PlayStation!!

I’m ecstatic that they brought this game back! All of the annoying controls from the Wii console are absent. Everything is just how I remember it but better!

### 5/5 — The best game no doubt
