Frustrating by design, offline mode needed
My Internet connection is horrendously poor. This is in no way restricted to this game, its just a fact of life. And therefore, since this game needs a continuous connection, I am often unable to pla...

@PaQuilter1: Ugh, I hated Freeplay. Though speaking of that - I've been getting ads for Freeplay recently. I thought they shut Freeplay down?

@AbigailHawk I think they stopped offering it on Windows Phones. You probably keep getting the Pregnancy update ad. It's still going strong. ☺
And last I heard, the app is also banned in several countries, seven to be exact. And for those who still have it, can no longer receive any updates on the app.
@AbigailHawk @PaQuilter1 Freeplay is only being shut down in some countries. Arab countries and China. I don't know @terogamusaudiHaz if it's being banned in those countries or they are no longer selling it. It could have to do with politics , tax tariffs issue or the new pregnancy feature for unmarried sims . They are not stopping freeplay overall
- Ahhh. So it's more of a "no longer being supported" rather than "actively discontinued" sort of thing - like an old edition of Windows. You can't buy it anymore, but if you already have it you can keep using it.
@AbigailHawk For the people in Arab countries and China, if they already have the game installed, they can still play freeplay but they won't get updates. Should they uninstall the game , they will not be able to reinstall it. There will be no new installs of the game in Arab countries or China
Yeah, it is (about the ban) @Fuzzernutter. You guys can read all about it here: The Sims FreePlay - No longer available in certain storefronts after July 5th.
Kinda related to the topic, does freeplay also used the always online method? I can’t quite remember but I used to have it, long ago, only for a day or so, I think.
I might be interested in downloading again, if we can play the app while being offline.
@terogamusaudiHaz I think you have to be online but my understanding is that the save function is different than SM. It is a resource hog though. I've never had a problem with it but others have complained about it. ☺
