Sims Freeplay is now totally unplayable

After the recent update, the lag has made the game totally unplayable. I have two devices, an S8 and an S21. They're both just just as slow as each other. Last night I couldn't even exit the game on the S21 because it wouldn't leave the exit screen for hours, so because it got so late was forced to power down the device to close it.

Today it just got stuck on the loading screen for hours on the S21. Eventually gave up and reloaded it on the S8. Clicking on anything results in 1 to 5  minutes of freeze. It's just unplayable.

How can a bug affect two different devices at the same time? Was on day 8 of a 9 day Discovery Quest, but if I can't even load the game, how can I continue? This is the end of Sims Freeplay for me. Not out of choice but because I have been forced out after years of play. 🤷‍♂️

    Same here.  I played every day and was very dedicated to the game.  But it is now unplayable on my ipad.  It crashes over and over again and I lose my progress every time.  It pulls all my sims off their tasks every time it crashes.  And that’s just when I try to open the game.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and tried it on a brand new ipad as well but it is still not working.  They are going to lose players over this.  It’s awful, especially with all the time limited events that we are missing.

    "Update 5.92.1 is out in stores now"

    It's too late. SFP is a game that you can never afford to stop. Once it's done, it's done. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. I had a perfect run for 2 years, and now all my sims will have aged up. They were all adults. EA nerfed the game.

    Downloaded the latest update 5.92.1 but still experiencing the same problem. Game still stuck at the loading page and game wouldn't open 😒 

  • There's real problem with the game after the update, it takes hours to enter the game, the loading goes on forever. In the market where you plant and harvest - wild freezes. My device is Honor Pad 9, Android 14. Cookies were cleared constantly. Game was deleted it and downloaded many times.

    I have been playing since the beginning. I am playing on the latest iPad. I am so disappointed. I have next to nothing else on the iPad. My game freezes, won’t load, etc. I removed the game last night, thinking I will take a break. I will try the update. Glad it’s not just me. Thanks for the info. 😘

    EA When are you going to fix this? Do you ever take notice of your followers comments ? So sad for so many players !
