Also it takes hours to do small tasks otherwise was enjoying the game. ### 2/5 — Good game but updates have made it impossible to play for free *2026-09-03, version 117.1.280231* Current update has axed daily revenue to a very low amount. It’s already challenging enough to make money on this game and building things to progress levels becomes almost extremely expensive. Most challenges are highly repetitive and impossible to complete without spending a lot of your own real money. The details of the game are great but all the recent updates have started to ruin the game. ### 3/5 — I would not recommend this if you’re looking for a good game try sims 4 *2026-09-01, version 117.1.280231* It’s very laggy,you can’t put any sim in a house together,recommend this game for anyone. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-09-01, version 117.1.280231* It’s exactly what it said it was I just wish u could be more creative and no life points just money like the proper sims ### 3/5 — It’s Okk *2026-08-30, version 117.0.278660* It’s Okk ### 2/5 — I don’t know *2026-08-22, version 116.1.276793* The thing is I’m new, so I might be wrong. But I’m trying to add more people to one house and it doesn’t let me. I’ve done everything, I want to add children and it won’t let me ### 3/5 — Great but… *2026-08-21, version 116.1.276793* I really enjoy the game. Building and the quests. However, it is a pain trying to gather the hammers, wood ect to build community centres and work places. Unless you are on the game constantly its nearly impossible, there should be an alternative route to gaining these. Workplaces are also a nightmare to upgrade, you cant earn enough tokens to upgrade. You quickly lose interest. I understand money needs to be made but the large amounts needed to progress is not ok. ### 4/5 — Good but *2026-08-20, version 116.1.276793* I have played for ages but can’t get my sim pregnant or married and it been bugging me ### 4/5 — Adding toddler pick up *2026-08-20, version 116.1.276793* This game is really fun and enjoyable and I would give it a 4/5 the reason the extra point is missing is because there is no pick up animation for the toddler and personally I think it would be able to pick the toddlers up and Carry them around just like how you can carry the baby's around after completing the nanny quest the same the for the toddlers but the toddlers rest on the hip of the aim if you can add this/if you guys can add this it would be much appreciated ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2026-08-18, version 116.1.276793* Glitchy slow annoying needs to be upgraded again not like sims 4 ### 3/5 — Great game, but… *2026-08-18, version 116.1.276793* So I downloaded this game and it was so fun. I had my dream sims in my dream town all based off of Twilight the movie. It’s just a really great movie and I love it. now I have babies and a great town but I’m stuck on level 10 though I don’t have enough money so I have to send my Sims to work like every day and it’s becoming really frustrating. it just the money just keeps going up and up and up the more you play it. I was playing it and then I updated it and when I pressed open it just wouldn’t open like I could not open it. It said certain apps features or updates cannot be seen on this device, to access this app turn restrictions off and I’m like I don’t have restrictions. This is really annoying me so I can’t play it anymore. I still haven’t deleted it though and also when I looked at my home screen, it was gone from my home screen as well. developer please help and tell me what is wrong. PS it says I don’t have the app three weeks later. ### 4/5 — Inrrr !!!! Mais …. *2026-08-14* Bonjour , point positif car il ne peux pas avoir que du négatif : le design est super beau , il y’a une bonne vibe . C’est très immersif et je vous avoue que je suis un peu jalouse des maisons ultra stylées 🥹 ! Bref , graphisme et jeu global validé à 100% . Cependant , désolée, il y a des points que j’aimerais que vous puissiez entendre , et régler si vous avez le temps et l’envie . Vous êtes sans doute déjà très occupés. Alors voilà : le temps des quêtes est super long, ce qui fais que nous avançons au ralentit . Certaines actions également . Serrait t’il possible pour construire les villas , de un , faire un peu beaucoup baisser les prix , parce que c’est un jeu et moi je suis ado donc j’ai pas d’argent pour payer en vrai . À chaque niveau , nous permettre d’ajouter quelques sims en plus , pour que nous puissions faire plusieurs tâches sans être bloqués et avancer plus vite . Désolée vraiment de vous déranger , mais aussi serrait t il possible de rendre la construction de terrain vide gratuit ? Pour après acheter les maisons chères . Et déballer la palette des tenues dès le début ou juste un peu plus de choix . En fait je crois vraiment le gros problème c’est le temps . Beaucoup de choses sont très longues à réaliser et même si on joue , on a une vie . Vous me direz quand on est ado on a le temps 🤷‍♀️. Mais en fait pas tant que ça . Je vais devoir me préparer au bac donc non , le temps je vais en avoir moins . Bref si vous avez le temps de voir tout ça à votre rythme, je pense ça aiderait beaucoup de gens et croyez moi, les avis vont être positifs de malade . Ah et aussi un dernière choses , nous permette de gagner plus de clés et de points de vie , sans devoir être VIP , je demande pas dix millions de tout ça , juste genre une vingtaine ou un peu moins comme vous voulez . Alors si mon message est parvenu , merci à vous c’est gentil de voir . Au revoir ✋🥰 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Filthy! *2026-09-04, version 117.1.280231* LP for everything.Also the birthday cake needs to be free and 12 minutes.Please read it and make it the next update!And this game is weird because when an adult women sim cuddles the infant,the woman makes weird noises like:aww Shasha,awwww or Aww,ebi hun ya.Like who is Shasha and why the weird noises always start with awww? And why are actions FREAKING LONG! Also is this the copy of The Sims 4? Amd tell me how to get The Sims 4. And in the loading page, remove that girl in dot dress like she’s weird and she gives me nightmares.Also CRASHES!! I HAVE WIFI BUT IT SAUD I NEED WIFI WHILE I ALREADY HAVE!! ### 1/5 — The last influence island is bad *2026-09-04, version 117.1.280231* The game is rigged. Have played this game for past 2-3 years and it’s much worse than before. I never spent real money on it, as it’s advertised free and also own real sims all dlc packs. I feel this FreePlay game is easily the most expensive if you want to win the events or get house items or clothing. I really don’t mind watching adds to help fund games, but I will never pay real money for a “chance” to win. Like the influence island, mystery boxes or sim chase. This is gambling. From a free user’s perspective, this game has really gone downhill. I am not saying it’s bad, just much worse as I can compare. In past I could actually win influence island and simchase when dedicated all my time and love in the game. Now the influence island is not possible without bribes or spending real money. I feel sometimes my account gets a lucky draw and I breeze through one influence island, which is rare though. Therefore I really have something to compare to. Like this influence island, I was losing on 3 and 4th round and my actions ALWAYS stopped in decision area 82/83:84 - extra action ALWAYS takes me over or adds 2-3pts. If I stop I always lose. This last influence island, I could only influence any with bribes. I know it’s rigged, because it never was this “unrandom” and dedicated players could win. Rewards are really not worth it. I still remember that lousy underwear… ### 1/5 — Keeps getting worse *2026-09-01, version 117.1.280231* Every update there’s something new and terrible. There’s too much on the screen now and so many events all at once. The most frustrating thing is how costly upgrades/new buildings are and how easy it is to accidentally spend LP/SP points! Please add a confirmation for if you want to spend them! ### 1/5 — New update *2026-09-01, version 117.1.280231* This new update is so bad, they’ve added so many pop up tasks, game passes that’s filled the screen. Also as a result it’s made the game very glitchy… ### 1/5 — INVENTORY GONE *2026-08-29, version 117.0.278660* Absolutely fuming most of my inventory is gone. I have been playing for 7 years and everything I have collected is gone. The update is not worth it, build mode looks a mess. Building is difficult with half the screen taken up, it’s very overstimulating and a lot to get used to with too much colours on screen. I hate it. ### 1/5 — Horrible updates *2026-08-27, version 117.0.278660* The app removed all of the players’ inventory that we collected for years, I play this game for almost 8 years now. ### 1/5 — The new update sucks *2026-08-27, version 117.0.278660* The Sims franchise has been on the decline for the last several years. I genuinely loathe what this game has become. It used to be my favourite game around 12 years ago. The constant updates in the last couple years have introduced a drastic change for the worst every single time. It’s not a game worth playing anymore. ### 1/5 — Filthy! *2026-08-26, version 117.0.278660* LP for everything.Also the birthday cake needs to be free and 12 minutes.Please read it and make it the next update!And this game is weird because when an adult women sim cuddles the infant,the woman makes weird noises like:aww Shasha,awwww or Aww,ebi hun ya.Like who is Shasha and why the weird noises always start with awww? And why are actions FREAKING LONG! Also is this the copy of The Sims 4? Amd tell me how to get The Sims 4. And in the loading page, remove that girl in dot dress like she’s weird and she gives me nightmares ### 1/5 — Why game is bad *2026-08-20, version 116.1.276793* It try’s to get you to pay all the time and you have to do lots of waiting that I thought it was a boring game. ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2026-08-16, version 116.1.276793* Game wouldn’t even load ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-09-06, version 117.1.280231* I think you should be able to have as many pets as you want, have as many people living in one house and be able to have more than 11 people visiting one place at a time ### 5/5 — PLZ LET ME CHANGE MY SIMS NAMES! *2026-09-02, version 117.1.280231* I do genuinely love this game, so much so I was a dumbass and named my sims dumb names and I have been playing for years and don’t wanna start again.
