I am so excited for the Sims mobile! This is what I've been wanting from the Sims! We had the Sims Freeplay which I hate, with its useless expensive dlc, to waiting 10 minute for your sims to eat lunch, it's just terrible imo. I've been wanting a real sims game on mobile and this game looks awesome. I know it's on mobile so they will have limitations. I will talk about my worries/things I don't like though, since the trailer didn't show us a lot. I will also say things I like.-Why are the heads so big? I know they are going for a quirky vibe but it's honestly kind of annoying-This will be different from the Sims Freeplay right? I won't play if I have to wait hours for my sims to do simple tasks like: watch tv or eat lunch-I love seeing all the stuff from the Sims 4 dlc put into the game I found that neat!-Hopefully we wont have to wait forever for babies to arrive and pay for simpoint just so we don't have to wait 24 hoursBut Overall I'm really excited if this a real sims game on mobile!

But, but, but... Sims mobile is Sims freeplay 2.0. It takes 6 hours to sleep otherwise you've got to pay.

Gameplay wise it's the same concept as Ts Freeplay: real time and micro transactions (you have to unlock stuff with real money or in game currency earned through quests)

I don't get how anyone can get excited over mobile games in general ( with very few exceptions ). Especially when franchises that don't belong there try to find a place on the market just because it's the new hot trend.

dude you are saying exactly what i think. i do not understand why people enjoy mobile games so much to be honest since you need to pay to win/pay.

I'm so sick of game franchises focusing on microtransaction mobile games. I have a $2,000 computer and a huge monitor. Why the plumb would I want to strain my eyes, kink my neck, and burn out my phone battery? Aside from playing spider solitaire when I'm stuck at an airport, I have absolutely no interest in staring at a tiny screen.

So that's what they have been spending their time making instead of making us expansion packs like pets or seasons that we've been wanting

Same tho. What I hate about a lot of these games is that they fail to deliver a good core experience. Otherwise I'd probably be fine with having a few microtransactions for extra stuff here and there. But poor ports from the main game, paywalls and lack of engaging gameplay is something a lot of mobile games have in common.
One example for a "better" ( although definitely not perfect either ) mobile game is Plants vs. Zombies 2. With a bit of effort you can get through the game without ever purchasing anything from their store and you can still have a lot of fun with it. The artstyle is coherent and fun and the gameplay fits the mobile platform since it's so simple in it's execution. This game and some others are what I'd consider good or decent mobile games. And then there's the other 97% of mobile games which is pretty much a minefield of pay 2 win and microtransactions to get any content added to a bare base.
