Ohmigosh, yes! Even if it just synched slightly less often, that would take a lot of the annoyance out of the game. I get constantly disconnected sometimes, like log in, play for five seconds, OOPS DISCONNECTED. Every other game is fine, I only have issues with Sims Mobile.
@AbigailHawk I wish it was like Freeplay...Save? - Ok...Exit? - Are you sure? - Ok. If nothing else, I would feel better. ☺😉
@sindidoll I feel you. I have a game on a second device (very old phone, no service), and I use wifi and mobile hotspot to connect when I need to restart shifts and such. It would be so great to be able to manipulate my house and fashions offline then connect when I'm ready to update and save.
As it is now, I get that blasted network message probably 80% of the time. Very frustrating. Maybe we'll see accommodation someday for players like us.
@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. ☺
@PaQuilter1: Yeah, that's the one! It keeps freaking me out. I'm severely tokophobic, my sims are NEVER allowed to be pregnant. Thank goodness for the adoption options!

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
@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
@AbigailHawk it could have to do with non married sims being able to have babies and the religious beliefs in those countries. Don't quote me on that but it might be the reason. Being that EA just added this feature , I don't think they will be closing freeplay soon for all players
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. ☺
Alright, I’ll give it another try, thanks @PaQuilter1!
