It’s good

I love your games and I hope you make a new one that I will play and love and support I love your game bye

Expensive

Everything is so expensive I miss when the game was fun now it takes forever to complete tasks cause they take 22 hours and buildings cost so much. The new quest you miss out on a lot of the new items because you half to win simchase or complete the clan stuff , I wish we could just be able to get those items those quests aren’t really fun and take away from what makes sims fun wich is playing and building , if you want more stuff like that make it easier for us. Also we need to clothes and hair styles.

Love it, but…

I love this game, it’s amazing, but I keep deleting it because it becomes either too stressful, overwhelming, expensive or boring.

The stress comes from the fact that you have to take care of a whole town full of sims that can’t do much by themselves, or anything for that matter.

The overwhelming comes from the same thing as the stress, but I find, with the competitions and needing to build more things to level up and not being able to unlock stuff without being a certain level, completing the competitions, not having enough money to build stuff etc, is a lot. Especially for my neurodivergent brain.

The expensive stuff is from the fact that when you reach a certain level, or whenever you level up, this get super expensive, and, for me, end up at a point where I just flat out can’t buy it, because I don’t have enough in-game currency, or enough Sims to make more in-game currency or whatever. And that’s hard and frustrates me.

Now, the boring part comes from the fact that the game becomes boring to me. Yes, I could do the competitions in the game, but everything in Sims has a timer on it, like, you go make your Sim do an action like, take a shower. That has a timer on it, for how long it’ll take until your sim is done. I don’t mind that feature, but I don’t like it. At all. And I don’t have the time to check in on the game every so often to see if the timer has ended, my brain doesn’t do that. I also have a life. And these competitions have limited time available, and lots of times, I’m too late to get any kind of reward.
And I’m more of a roleplaying kind of gal, and Sims doesn’t have much of that Roleplay vibe to it, so for me, it gets boring quite quickly, because I want a game like Sims Freeplay, but more roleplay-y, like, you can do all this stuff you can in Sims, but with more of a Roleplay vibe to it.


All and all, I love Sims Freeplay, but for me, it’s missing that spark that draws me to any kind of game. I’ll, of course, play it, because I like the game, but I might decide to delete it once I get bored with it. Then redownload it again once I’m bored with everything and want something new, and so on and on… good game though, I must admit.
