Sims Mobile: What devices run it???

I have been looking forward to this for MONTHS, and hearing it was finally coming out today? I was delighted until when going to the app store, it said that my Android 4.4 tablet isn't compatible. I'm just wondering what devices it DOES run on, or what operating system. I really hope it's not a smartphone exclusive, because I don't have one. I'm also wondering if it's my OS, if there's a way to update it.

    This is an FYI for Kindle tablet owners. I just bought one of the 10 inch tablets and when I was reading the specs I saw that some kindles will accept a Google framework that lets you access the play store. I bought this one with a Quad-core 1.8 GHz processor.

    I then followed the instructions here https://the-digital-reader.com/2017/09/24/can-install-google-play-2017-fire-tablets-less-5-minutes/
    and I found I was able to download Sims mobile.

    The one I bought was $189 because I went for the 64GB. So you don't have to have a pricey android tablet to get Sims Mobile. I haven't played it yet because I'm still loading the tablet and getting all my apps in play. I'll let you know if there are any problems.

    Isn't that just basically jailbreaking your amazon tablet to make the game work?

    As far as I know they make apps so you can use google on a fire tablet. My son use to have the fire phone and he downloaded an app to use google play on it. He does not have that phone anymore . He now has the new google phone

    Not sure what you mean by jail breaking for a tablet but the Google files are mentioned on Amazon's site.

    I forgot this twice now *waves hi to @phoebebebe13 *
  • I have a galaxy j3 prime and it took a few months for me to learn about the upgrade. When my friend told me I looked it up in the play store and I didn't see it. When looked for it on Google I saw it said my phone isn't compatible.
  • Installed it on a samsung galaxy j7 and it works fine so far. :)
  • I have a Samsung j3 Luna Pro and I had preregistered and when the game came out it said it wasn't compatible with my device. I have an SD card in my phone and I make sure my phones RAM is cleaned. I really want to play it but I'm stuck playing Sims Freeplay. Also when I check my Chromebook to see if I could get Sims mobile it said the same thing.
