I tried Sims free play but didn't like the game. It was all work and little play with extremely limited things to do in it. When I heard they were coming out with this one, my hopes were high. I must say, I'm very disappointed. Just like Freeplay, it's all work and little play. I'm so limited that I can't even kick out the strange woman who's been in my house non-stop since the very first day. I can't play the toddler sim without paying real money. And there's nothing to do in the game that's actually fun. The fact that you have to pay loads of real money for anything decent in the game (with very few ways to earn it) just makes the game creators look greedy. So for now, I'll leave it to the rich people who can afford to keep dumping money into a mobile game. And go back to my PC Sims which is more fun than work.

I've never been so disappointed with a game. I've been playing Sims since 2001, like many others. I'm at a place in my life where I cannot afford a PC, even though I do own all the Sims, including Sims 4. I thought I'd give sims mobile a try and I'm so very disappointed. I thought it would be close to the real thing, but no. Almost everything about it sucks. I know why it's free now :/ Love you EA, but this is a trainwreck. I was so excited to play a Sims game again. What a mistake. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.

I've been through the entire pre-game launch and seen his development. The sims mobile was always the game that kept me 5 to 10 days after being updated and then I forgot again. It's a repetitive game. You follow a story but you have no real control over it. You have no options to decide the course of history. It is less free than the sims for the computer.I wanted to feel that I have full control of the game instead of having to follow a pre-defined story, but I do not have it.And after the last event, I was sad to see that there was not even the option of people buying the items as stuff pack. If you are not playing on time, you lose the items.

I'm right there with all of you, super disappointed. I played a couple of times but found it difficult to keep my attention focused on it. It's fine as a time killer waiting for my mom at her doctor appointments and the like, but nothing I'm dying to play on the regular.

I gave the game a try but... | EA Forums

Yep all of this. Can't play toddlers, children, elders. Retirement is constantly pushed. Literally all my sims do is work. I can't decide in the story if I want to change it. I'll continue to stick with PC

From my experience you have to be incredibly frugal with your simcash, like don't spend any of it even on the skill boost items, at least not until you've unlocked and extra sim or two to increase the number of things you can do to earn more simcash. It gets chaotic the higher the level you get as you'll eventually run out of items and outfits you can buy from simoleans alone and will need to spend simcash, and unlike simoleans you don't earn them from sending your sim to work. They are rare and when you are needing 75+ simcash per item and only getting maybe 10 per day you start to realise this is where EA is gonna be making its money from.

I’m so upset I didn’t realize the issue of dating another players sim until I wanted to move in with one...I’ve spent so much time leveling up the relationship and now if the other player declines I wasted my time...It never crossed my mind until I asked the sim to move in with me...Now I have to research how to tell a NPC and another’s players sim apart...Had I known this I would have just created another sim and moved them in and worked on improving that relationship...On top of that I couldn’t post a thread on the forum asking for help because of a badge point system...Which by the way I had to google to figure that out...I’ve loved the sims since I was kid and thought I would love the new mobile game but apparently not...I’m thinking about just deleting the game!

I'm finding it disappointing as well. As I'm levelling up I'm learning that far too many things cost premium currency. And you get so little it's utterly discouraging. It feels like a greedy cash grab more than a game. Like it's deliberately made unfair so you have no choice but spend cash. Personally, I'd rather be invited to spend than forced.
