Feedback for the Sims Mobile
It appears that we need to mention the Sims Mobile in the headlines for all threads because simmers who comment from their phones often can't see the names of the forum areas. So they often just assum...
Forum Discussion
I agree with so many things on this thread. (especially Needs play rather than Energy play)
A few issues I would like to add:
- Heirloom Tickets
It's easy to gain the green tickets but now I have all the "common" heirlooms either through retirement or buying the the shop and I have all these excess tickets which I can't do anything with. They should be able to be converted into the blue tickets somehow. You can't earn the blue ones by doing regular things. The shop has also stopped offering me to buy heirlooms that cost green tickets (because I have them all) but at least I could buy them for 40 green tickets and then convert it to 4 blue tickets.
-Izzy's Special Creations
I have made so many creations but I manage to get very similar (if not the same) items and then I spend another 16 gems to "try again" and sometimes I get the same thing again! It is also hard to tell what traits help out what hobbies/careers when all you have is an icon.
- Auto Save
There should be a manual save button as well. Sometimes I'm busy so I just quickly open the game and collect rewards from my sim that has finished their event and then start them on another one but if I immediately close the app sometimes it doesn't save and when I open it again later that Sim has just been idle the whole time and not working/doing hobby and so I don't make any money.
- Selling Objects
I know this is all over the forum but I think it's so important! Even if it is drastically devalued I still think there should be some sort of recycling process and get a bit more money back.
- Inactive Sims in the way
Spouses, children and retired sims get in the way in the house when you want to recharge energy or have a baby. The only way to use these items is to enter build mode and move them to an unoccupied room. The bathrooms should just be out of bounds for inactive sims or you should be able to interact with them and tell them to move.
- Stories
There's no motivation to play once all the stories are complete. I only send my sims to hobbies and work to earn some money and I only get relationships to level 3 so I can have babies. But there is nothing more to the game now.
- Babies
The children should get a trait from one of the parents, or a skill because of a hobby or career the parents focus on.
- Retirement
There should be an overall bar to retirement, or at least after your final trait to have a bar to retirement. Otherwise I don't know how long I have left with a Sim. I have started a long event with a sim and then the retirement notification pops up, but I would rather finish my event first. If I had known I would have done a short event, completed it and then retired.
Also, the heirloom you get should have something to do with how your sim lived. If they were always flirty then you get the flirty charm etc. Rather than being a random luck of the draw.
- Levelling up
When you level up your sims energy is replenished. But so many times I have levelled up in the morning when I complete the stories I started overnight, when my energy is already maxed. Levelling up should give you an extra 30 energy points rather than just filling up your bar.
- Hobby Points
When I've been close to reaching the next level in a hobby (by a few points) I try to take my Sim to a party to get those last few points rather than doing a whole story for it so that I can get straight to the next chapter. But the hobby points don't get added until after you complete the next story, so I still have to go through the short practice session to level up.
- Party Cake
Party cake can only be used in a party, you should be able to use it to let you go to more parties. Once I'm in one party I don't need to do even more actions because I always get my 3 stars anyway.
