I gave the game a try but...

I agree SapphoMuse. It doesn't feel rewarding to play at all. I don't mind paying into phone games, and I have a few that I spend money on regularly, but I have to feel like I'm getting something for it. The furniture packs look like the same stuff for the PC game but cost more. The things they want you to unlock with money are things I would personally just associate with a sims game (having a family for instance). Even the "rewards" you get for advancing in your career, or relationships, are just unlocks that you can now buy. It's disheartening and I really think they need to rework it so that your rewards for playing actually feel like rewards. Or they need to go more in depth with the stories and offer more options to keep it interesting. Otherwise why would I pay to play?

I much prefer the PC version and that is the one I will spend my money on. Nothing will bear or replace it! These mobile games are money grabs and they're so boring after while. Not only that but the microtransactions are ridiculous and I just dont do it. The Sims is 18 years strong. I really hope they're not thinking of bowing out of the PC brand because that would be a very big mistake.

I have never minded spending money on my Sims, but this game charges WAY too much for it's cash only items! $20 for a living room?! $15 for a bathroom?! This is not the computer game, it's a mobile game. It's a faint echo of the computer game and the prices should be the same.

I was going to write a long reply, but honestly this game doesn't deserve it. This last update did it for me. The cash grab is to strong. I feel like a sucker that I even put $20 into it buying the 'specials' they had. I feel like an idiot and it means I rewarded EA for a horrible game. It was fun at first, but each update solidifies just how greedy EA is. Happy to say I learned a lesson and EA won't be getting anymore money. If they keep making more and more things cost simcash then I will quit all together.

I’ve played the game for a couple weeks and so far it’s alright but not that fun because the activities are boring and repetitive. Also, the placement of things: everything in the house all have to be squared, can’t place things at an angle, why? And it takes so many tckets for every little thing.

well living rooms don't cost that much in sims 4 stuff packs are 10 and they come with cas and at least one gameplay object

EA start again give 3 simcash each day as you complete your to-do list. And this is good because you can enjoy that events are over and stock simcash and cakes to use at another time in the game.

Something I keep complaining about is that the game does not allow you to be free. There are no new paths in stories. Events such as death by fire or shock, sims being burned while trying to fix an object or ways to earn autonomous money would change that.

Imagine this scene:

You organized a home movie session with your club (I dream with this feature), but during the session your friend receives a sms that there is a thief in the neighborhood and you have 10 seconds to decide whether to turn on the alarm and lock the door or don't care and stay watching the movie. Depending on your choice, you may receive a notification that the thief was arrested or see a scene of a burglar invading your home and leading to your plant.

That would make the game different.
Actions that affect the humor of the sim by x time would be something that would make it more challenging as well. Imagine a very sad yes getting the visit of an NPC to make him good again or a happy yes completing everything very fast.

The game needs to be more than following stories, winning clothes and running to complete events.

Seriously ?? For $20 you have a gamepack for the computer game!
