Sims limit
I wanted to talk about the number of sims that can be on one lot at the same time. I’m currently planning a wedding in my town, and the limit of 11 Sims makes it almost impossible to properly use a wedding venue. I have 5 tables with chairs prepared for the guests, but with only 11 Sims allowed on the lot, I can barely use 2 tables. The rest of the seating and dining area is basically useless because I simply cannot have enough Sims there. What is more I really want to invite more sims because it is a wedding ceremony. In my opinion weddings are supposed to feel like a big celebration, with the bride and groom, family, friends and other guests all together. It feels really disappointing to spend so much time building a beautiful venue with plenty of tables, chairs and decorations, only to be unable to actually use it because of the Sim limit. I have a question to the creators of the Sims freeplay : Could you please consider increasing the limit to at least 20–30 Sims per lot ? Even better, it could be an optional higher limit that players can enable in the settings, so devices that cannot handle it would not be affected. I think this would make weddings, birthday parties, family gatherings and other special events so much more enjoyable and realistic. 🥹💗 Please consider it. It would make a huge difference for players who love building and creating events in their towns. It’s my suggestion but I think that many players would agree with me. I’m not asking for 100 sims per lot because it will be too much, but only 20-30. Please think about doing an update like that 😭
Comprehensive Town Upgrades, Sim Limits, Hobbies, Buildings, and Customization
Hi Firemonkeys and EA team, I love playing The Sims FreePlay, but honestly, I have quit the game more than once and came back more than once due to my deep disappointment with the restrictions—especially the harsh Sim limits. Previously, due to a game glitch, I was able to have around 70 Sims in my town, and it finally felt alive! But when that glitch was fixed and my town was forcefully slashed back down to 45, it completely broke my heart. Happily married couples (including my custom self-Sim and her husband, plus cute gay and lesbian couples) were torn apart, houses were left feeling abandoned with pets left behind, and it honestly made me want to cry. You give us all these gorgeous properties and huge maps across the main town, the island, the desert biome, and new developments, but nobody is living in them—it’s giving a total "ghost town." I’ve rage-quitted and stopped playing for years at a time because of these tight constraints, missing out on so many fun updates over the years. Even working within the constraints of a mobile game, it would be amazing if you removed the strict Sim cap and gave players the choice to have as many Sims as we want—just like in Sims 4 where you can have large households and a slightly open world where characters can move around freely. Along with that, I’d love to propose a massive list of updates and improvements to make gameplay much more immersive and fun: 1. Remove the Sim Limit & Improve How We Unlock Sims Raise or Remove the Cap: Let players choose how many Sims they want in their towns without fear of sudden rollbacks or losing beloved married couples and households. We can have a ton of pets now, but we need a ton of people to match! Fairly Priced Expansion Bundles: Unlocking new Sims through difficult job quests and time-consuming events can feel like going through "trials and tribulations." If you offer paid Sim bundles, please make them affordable and tiered (for example: $7.99 for 15 Sims, $15 for 20 Sims, scaling up to 60+ Sims for dedicated players). 2. Body Types, Height Variations, Muscle Mechanics, and Facial Diversity True Body Diversity, Heights, & Weight/Muscle Physics: Right now, all Sims have the exact same build and height. We need a system similar to Sims 4 or Sims Mobile where Sims can actually change shape and size! Let us have taller Sims and shorter Sims, lean/skinny Sims, thick/plus-size Sims, and characters that actually get jacked and muscular when they work out at the gym so players can truly put themselves into the game. Expanded Facial Customization: We need way more diverse facial structures representing different ethnicities, along with skin modifications like vitiligo and full-body freckles to make every Sim truly unique. 3. Allow Multiple Hobbies Per Sim & Expand Hobbies Across Ages Multiple Hobbies: Sims are currently strictly limited to one hobby at a time. It would be fantastic if Sims could branch out (like bowling, surfing, hitting the arcade, fashion catwalks, or makeup) without wiping out their progress in another hobby. Expand Karate & Ballet to All Ages: Bring back and expand skills like karate and ballet so they aren't restricted to just preteens. Teens and adults should be able to join in, practice, and earn black belts too! 4. Life Stage Expansion: Add Dedicated "Kids" Stage Add a distinct Child stage between toddlers and preteens, along with more furniture options to match, creating a smoother transition than jumping straight from toddlers to preteens. Plus, introduce teen driving permits/cars so teenagers can drive around town! 5. Revamp Underused Spaces & Dead Buildings The Shopping Mall: Once you buy everything, the mall becomes useless. Let it regularly rotate and sell past limited-time event outfits, clothes, shoes, and accessories that players missed out on. The Pregnancy & Baby Stores: Update the baby, children's, and pregnancy stores to let players purchase items, clothing, hairstyles, and rewards from past events using Simoleons or Social Points. The City School: Turn the empty city school into a functioning college or school where extra adult Sims can actually work as elementary or high school teachers. The Park & Playgrounds: Add real, functional playgrounds to the park so children and families can actually hang out and play naturally. Snow Park, Wizard Tower & Campgrounds: Revamp the Snow Park into a lively social destination, add active trail systems to the campgrounds for hiking groups, and give the wizard tower more interactive features. 6. Add Regional Shopping Centers & Functional Grocery Stores Biome Shopping Hubs: Provide localized shopping centers and community spots for each individual biome and neighborhood so players don't have to travel all the way to the desert. Functional Grocery Stores: Let Sims walk inside, browse, and actually purchase things rather than just interacting with passive facades. 7. Turn Restaurants & Venues Into Active Workplaces Active Restaurant Gameplay: Let Sims actively work in restaurants with dedicated roles like chefs, waiters, bartenders, and live musicians using the piano. Introduce a Business Ownership System (Sims 4 "Get to Work" Style): Allow players to designate lots as residential or commercial businesses so Sims get paid to work at player-owned bars, movie theaters, and wedding venues. 8. Unlock Customization for Vacation Homes & Special Lots Decorate Vacation & Special Lots: We should be able to fully customize and decorate spaces like the Love Island vacation beach house (making it a two-story home, for example) and the magical fairy garden place instead of being stuck with pre-set furniture. 9. Expand Active Workplaces & Allow More Sims to Work Together For active career locations like the Police Station, Hospital, Movie Studio, and Restaurant, let more Sims work at the same location at the same time (e.g., multiple Sims working as movie stars and directors together) so tasks get done faster and workplaces feel alive. 10. Overhaul Cooking, Hobbies, Gardening, and Grilling Separate Cooking from Hobbies: Cooking shouldn't be locked down permanently as a hobby once you hit maximum level; it should be a regular daily life skill (with baking acting as the dedicated hobby). Fix household feeding mechanics so multiple family members can use the kitchen and outdoor BBQs (generating a stack of plates) seamlessly. Gardening Mechanics: Bring back and enhance smooth, flexible garden mechanics so players have full control over growing and maintaining productive gardens. 11. Build Mode Upgrades: Free-Angle Placement & Half-Tile Grids Angled/Diagonal Furniture Placement: Introduce built-in free rotation or diagonal placement options so furniture (like angled TVs facing a couch) can be set up naturally without awkward grid restrictions. Half-Tile Grids: Add half-tile increments or smaller sub-grids to give players precision and flexibility when designing homes. 12. Expand Career Options Add specific education career roles like Elementary School Teachers and High School Teachers. 13. Full-Lot Property Boundaries & Advanced Vehicle Systems Utilize Full Property Lines: Let building and yard customization stretch all the way from the front pavement back to the rear fence line, rather than being confined to a rigid, smaller square grid in the middle of the lot. Multiple Vehicles & Guest Parking: Allow households to own multiple vehicles per lot instead of being limited to one car. Unused parking spaces should function as "guest parking" spots when visiting Sims come over, or let couples get into a car together to go on romantic drives. Also, let island residents use functional boats to travel back and forth instead of just teleporting! 14. Working Multi-Generational Family Trees & Relationship Fixes Expanded Family Trees: Add a fully functional, glitch-free family tree system that tracks extended family lineages across multiple generations (parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren) so legacy gameplay actually works as intended without relationships randomly resetting or turning Sims into strangers. Thank you so much for continuing to update the game and listen to player feedback. I really hope to see some of these changes brought to FreePlay
Bug: Reposting per not fixed or responded to!
I wanted to bring to your attention a bug in Freeplay. I waited awhile to see if it would be resolved, but it hasn't been so I am reporting it now. Most nights the promotion check in the selling area disappears whether you paid for or not. Sometimes it is just 1 or a few items and then sometimes it is all items. Thank you. Mayor of Gor Club.Sim got stuck heading to work and can't leave home
Tried to send off my SIM to the hospital for the daily activity, now she's just stuck at home without a got to work or call to a place option. She can do stuff around the house, but not the stables or market or work. Nothing just there. Haley sellars is stuck.[Feedback] Please rerun older events!
Hello! I'm writing to share a suggestion regarding the event rerun schedule in The Sims Freeplay. Recently, it feels like the same handful of recent events are being repeated continuously. While I understand the need to give players another chance at missing items, the current rotation is actually disadvantageous for both new and veteran players alike. Newer players miss out completely on obtaining items and grand prizes from classic events that ran years ago, while old players feel bored by the repetitive cycle since they have already completed these recent events. Reopening older events allows new players to collect classic items, while giving old players a chance to finish events they missed in the past. In particular, I’m really hoping to see a rerun of the early SimChase series, specifically the classic seasons from the first few years that were packed with diverse hair and outfits. Many of us miss the generous reward lineups from those earlier runs that haven't appeared in a long time. Beyond SimChase, I also hope to see reruns of classic Crafting Events, Fashion Designer Hobby Events, and Influence Islands that offered diverse CAS and build items. I took a multi-year break from the game and missed out on so many amazing outfits, hairstyles, wallpapers, and floorings during those absent years. I have listed the specific events I would like to see rerun below. Early SimChase Seasons (Seasons 1~30): Seasons with richer CAS rewards, including diverse hairstyles, outfits, and accessories. Classic Crafting Events (Live Events): Past events featuring unique wallpapers and floorings. (Especially the "Chic Boutique" event and the "Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow" event, and the "france gallery" event, etc.) Fashion Designer Hobby Events: Limited-time hobby events that unlocked exclusive clothing and hairstyles. (Especially the Long hair event and the Stocking event.) Influence Island Events: Early seasons with highly requested CAS rewards. (Season 5, 6, 13, 17, 21, etc.) I fully recognize that player opinions on event pacing vary, and this might not be the highest priority on the development roadmap. However, from a game management perspective, bringing back legacy/older event files rather than cycling through recent ones wouldn't require designing brand new assets or changing the game's core direction. I am so eager to participate in these events! I truly hope my feedback can be reflected starting from the very next update. (And... honestly, the build and furniture items are already so beautiful and diverse, which is wonderful! Moving forward, I really hope the team focuses more on expanding the variety of CAS items so players can enjoy even richer options for customizing their sims.) Thank you! P.S. English is not my first language, so I used a translator to write this post.Bug report
Bug Report / Issue with Police Station Career Task Issue: Unfortunately, even though I completed the assigned task at the Police Station, the completion bubble did not appear. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. Because I was stuck and unable to progress, I had to quit my Sim's job. I have a screen recording of the issue. How should I proceed to get this fixed? Date/Time of Issue: August 4, 2026 - 00:23Some ideas and things I would really love
This is basically going to be things. I really want things I would like and then things that are not really prioritized, but I still would really also be interested in. I don’t know. Number one please add more body types faces and hairstyles. What if I want a fat Sim what if I wanna just in general different shaped SIM. You removed Sims mobile so we can’t adjust body types anymore, so please bring them back. As for hairstyles, I wanna see more long hairstyles, and just in general more hairstyles for Black people I think box braids would be really cute or just in general more black hairstyles. Another thing I would want is disability items. A white cane for visually impaired people hearing aids for people who need them wheelchairs just in general items for people who have disabilities. Another thing I would like is more voices. We have that in the Sims four but what about the Sims FreePlay? It would be really fun. The last thing is more ways to die. The Sims four has it why can’t we have it lol
The Sims Mobile
Hii EA Team, I know that The Sims Mobile has been discontinued, but many players still miss it and love it, including myself. That game was very modern and more playful than other mobile life simulator games. But if The Sims Mobile isn’t possible to come back, please consider creating a new mobile game like it. But if that’s not possible again, another option would be updating The Sims FreePlay, like upgrading the graphics, customization, gameplay and other things to make it feel more fun. TSM was my favorite game when I was younger and it still is. Tysm for listening to your community!!!Sims unable to eat together in the seating booths.
After the last 2 updates, my Sims are unable to sit at any of the 2 seated diner booths or the Oak retreat booth and eat together. when you click on the either booth twice only one Sim is allowed to sit and eat. Prior to the lasted update there were not issues.
