Sims mobile vs freeplay

LOL I'm sorry I just don't understand why they had to make 2 different mobile games. Smh what do you think? Which do you like better?

In comparison to TSM it's better if you like playing with different households, building different homes and playing with 8 sims (I think), because in TSM there are only 4 Sims available and one household.

IMO the interaction's menu between Sims is not clear enough, because if you're a first-time player it can mislead you, like it's happened to lots of players, me included. Sims can't be deleted, stories can't be changed, but different events can take place at the same time, which allows players to do multiple things at once.

There are many lots to place your Sims and it's a great idea, you create their relationships with your own Sims, there aren't NPCs. There are no stories to complete, you just choose is it's a friendship, romantic relationship or enmity. You can have pets, visit you friends households (from FB) and establish relationships with them.

They are different but have similarities. Personally I prefer TSM now, I don't know if in a few months I will hate it, but that's my view on both games. :)

    Thank you for this, I was also wondering what the differences are now my mind is clear, I have tried TSF and TSM and I have to say I prefer TSM as like a few others said you can hop in and out of the game.

    Sims Freeplay is a really old mobile game that came out during Sims 3's era, while Sims Mobile has better graphics and was made during Sims 4's era. There's been tons of old mobile and ds sim games and spin-offs. But TSF and TSM are the ones that are well off enough for EA to continue updating them.

    The gameplay for both are a bit different, imo The Sims Mobile is more similar to The Sims Social facebook game (which was shut down rip), while Sims Freeplay is uh... kinda really different from anything else the sims has done. Gameplay-wise they're both fine (for an app game). Playing Sims 2 or even Sims 1 would be more fun, but I don't think either TSF or TSM are bad.
