Why Does A Sims Mobile Game Look So Much Better Then Sims 4?
Why does Sims Freeplay look so packed with content and fun content then Sims 4? It makes me want to play the mobile game but I hate that its in real time.

Put together, the microtransactions and ads make the company more than you would think. The Sims 4 has neither microtransactions nor ads. And since the Sims 4 is not an online-hosted game, advertisers don't have a lot of incentive to advertise on the platform anyway, since they have no way of measuring their market impact (otherwise known as "eyeballs").
Also, the Sims Freeplay has been out for several years longer than the Sims 4. As a result, it has accumulated more content over the years. Also, Freeplay is closer to Sims 3 in its interface. Sims Mobile is closer to Sims 4 in its interface. I did not see a lot more content in Sims Mobile than Sims 4 last time I played. The Sims 3 also, if you remember, has micro-transactions in the form of the Sims 3 store online. Those also helped fund the development of the Sims 3 game.
If they do any advertising in the Sims 5, I hope it is ONLY player-optional ads. For instance, ads shown on the Sims TV sets, billboards around town (which everyone expects to be advertising anyway), branded content, or "click here to watch an ad and get a reward". I absolutely HATE it when ads are intrusive and Pop up in my face when I didn't ask for them. Mobile games that use that method I quickly stop playing.
