Frustrating by design, offline mode needed

@sindidoll My problem is also geographical. We have access to only satellite internet which is unreliable on a good day. Mobile service is expensive and highly regulated despite all the "unlimited" hype. I feel the overall construct is terribly prejudicial, but that's another topic for another thread. ANYWAYZ...I understand and sympathize. Something tells me, however, this will probably fall relatively low on the list of issues the parent company will be willing to address in the near future. 🙁 I compensate by hot-spotting my mobile service as needed and doing as much as I possibly can while connected. I'm so sorry it's affecting your game in such a fundamental way. You're not alone.
@sindidoll: Yeah, you're not alone! Though I think part of it is a problem with the game design rather than just our internet connections. I play a lot of mobile games (A LOOOOOT) and Sims Mobile is the only one I have trouble with constant disconnections on. My internet isn't great, but it's not terrible either. They need to make it so you can disable the synchs while you're playing if you need to. Like, if they set it so it synchs when connecting and when logging off, but otherwise you can control the distance between synchs to the server. So long as it's saving to your phone's hard drive it shouldn't be too bad.
