Ridiculously unaffordable prices...
2,000 SimCash for a hot tub? The monetary value of that is over £28.99 (which is the cost of 1,950 SimCash) - so basically £30 for a hot tub. Absolutely outrageous!

I don't appreciate the prices either. I think that since The Sims is so popular and always has been with a very dedicated following that it would have made more sense to actually charge a small fee for the game itself as some other popular games (Bloons TD5 & 6) for example do. I wouldn't have minded making a one off payment for the full mobile version of The Sims. I'm actually only playing this because Windows 10 bricked my laptop and I've yet to get it repaired...
Another thing that I dislike is how the better "ethnic" hairstyles are so expensive. For example a typical braided bun (which is so common for black women that it's almost a traditional hairstyle) costs nearly 4000 coins and has to be unlocked. Whilst the only non Asian/European hair is some ugly and bizarrely shaped afro (which btw is not a natural hairstyle for black people but a hippy hairstyle developed in the USA in the 1960s). The only other "ethnic" hairstyle are some ratty looking ombre dreadlocks which if you're like me, a person with caribbean heritage isn't actually a fashion choice but a religious hairstyle of the Rastafarian religion.
I don't understand why this game is so greedy and racist when The Sims used to be exactly the opposite. It's a disgrace.
