Retirement and moving out
I’ve found that despite the scope of Sims Mobile being far beyond my expectations a few poor design choices almost push you away. I played daily for weeks before encountering retirement which quickly removes my desire to continue.
Retirement pop-up: Once you reach Level 16 a Retire prompt will begin to appear, which can easily lead to accidental retirement. This pop up serves no real purpose since retirement can be activated in the Sims menu.
False info: All information in game and on forums imply a retired Sims continues to
Live in your house with the OPTION to move out.Though this is partially true for a short time eventually they have a forced final birthday in which you have no option but for them to move out of the household.
No take backs: If you do accidentally click on retire or age up the only way to cancel the action is to close out the games and relaunch it. This is frustrating and unbenificial to both the player and Maxis.
Together all these mechanics lead to players becoming frustrating or disinfranchised and abandoning an otherwise enjoyable game.
