During today’s Earnings Call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson announced that The Sims Mobile will launch worldwide on iOS and Android this quarter. The quarter ends March 31.

Was kind of hoping earlier than April, but they had an event for winter apparently, so I’m going to assume they will have an event for Feb 14 and they won’t release in the middle of an event because people will complain they didn’t get to participate because of level and such, so that brings up to March. So, honeslty I am sad to assume that the game will indeed release late March...if not April 1 st...lets just hope it’s not April’s fools day joke...
On a side note ..very sad about this...really really really want to play this game

Multiple reliable sources have been mentioning the app's release as of March 2018. Wikipedia once said that the app will be released in April of 2018. Now Wikipedia says the app will be launched in March. In addition, as @simgirl1010 mentioned before, the CEO of EA announced that The Sims Mobile will be launched worldwide this quarter. This quarter ends on March 31. This would be a more reliable source than Wikipedia, where anyone can change the information. All we know is that the app is soon to come as it has already been released in numerous countries such as Brazil, Ireland, Australia, and Spain.

There seem to be a misunderstanding here because the official sources says that the Sims Mobile will be released “by April” and not “in April”! They even say that the reason for this is that EA has said that the game will be released in FY 2018 Q4 which ends on March 31 ;)

The idea behind soft launch seems to be to avoid a failed launch where the app becomes just another zombie app that doesn't appear on any of the top lists in the app stores. If this happens in the app stores in the chosen country then the company can reconsider and maybe change the app before the official launch or maybe just withdraw the app and never release it anyway. We don't know what EA will do here because we don't know how well the Sims Mobile is doing in the Brazil app stores?

I have a strong hunch it will probably release soon after EA play event, that will last from 10th to 12th of june, play is EA's biggest yearly conference and sims mobile is listed as one of the main games they will introduce there, they probably delayed worldwide launch just so they can have it as an exclusive experience there.

I don't think they are doing any redesigning now, they are probably just polishing the bugs, preparing servers and optimizing for different devices. If I search for the game in the google store it says it has more than 10000 downloads.

Is that really a lot in Brazil? The Sims Freeplay had more than 200 million downloads.

The problem with games that aren't on any of the top lists is that they are hard to find because you will only see them if you search for them in a specific way. Therefore I am sure that EA will change the game if it isn't on the top lists in Brazil more than a few weeks.

Mess, by the time it comes out everyone won't care because of the new EP.

It might be after cats&dogs

So then I wonder if there is truth to the Wikipedia site saying November 21... I don't know when cats and dogs are coming but I'm assuming before then....

I think you're going off the assumption that they're not porting the game, it's not possible. You need to check Youtube videos. The graphics actually look pretty good. It's effectively The Sims Console meets Sims Freeplay but with Sims 4 graphics.
