https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61u1C-1x36Y&t=534sA lot of Simmers saw The Sims Mobile trailer and *assumed* mobile players were getting everything The Sims 4 has for free upfront (such as objects, CAS, gameplay)it turns out that;1) There's maybe 1/6 of the base game content in there (pushing it) with maybe 1 - 5 objects from each pack. 2) Unless you want to play for what looks like weeks, items like Double Beds can't even be bought without SimCash, and it's taken SimsVIP 4 days and she's got 49 SimCash dollars. So unless you have the patience of a saint, most will either not play, or buy cash. 3) There were FOUR gameplay items from DLC. (Game Console, Yoga Mat, Drink Fountain & Dance Floor). That's it. There were a lot of people acting like The Sims Mobile players get the entirety of The Sims 4 at their fingertips, for free, if they worked for it. At this point, we're lucky if The Sims Mobile makes up 1/10th of the base game :joy: It's literally a tiny game (200MB). I think it's safe to say, anyone who thought EA would allow $400 worth of gameplay to be played for free, if you had the patience, might have given EA too much credit. At this point, it's practically a glorified demo, giving people a taste of the Sims 4 base game, and an even tinier taste of it's DLC.

I think the mobile game is going to do well in it's on right but the producers may be hoping that some who get a taste of the gameplay might want to check out the full experience with Sims 4 on PC.

It's just a soft launch, and I do believe the game will feature many updates like Freeplay did. Summer is just around the corner so they might end up launching the game world wide alongside a swimming pools update.But it really is barebones at the moment.

Double beds can be paid with normal coins , only takes a few days to level up to unlock em. Though it does seem my main sim will be dead in time to use it. Aging is very aggressive in game and are force to pay for youth potions to keep then Alive.

I don't care one way or the other. It's not a game I would ever play. But you guys have fun.

That's what I tried to say multiple times, but apparently people here love too much the "they ported payed assets into a free game, OUTRAGE!" deal. Been playing it for a while now, to see how it works out, and it's so limited that it doesn't come close to 1/100 of TS4 base game. Two married sims can't even sleep in a double bed, and in order to get that bed first... well... let's just say that I think a lot of simmers are going to lose interest before even having the chance to unlock that ONE bed. It feels like a nice base/starter point for a mobile game, nothing more.

Well that debunks that then. | EA Forums

Same feeling :)
To be honest, I was waiting for the day that EA launched a decent looking/updated sims mobile game. And I have the feeling that it's going to help bringing in new players. Maybe not millions, but a few more.

Yes, it just shows that a lot of people care more about stuff than about gameplay - and this is probably also the reason why EA now makes many more SPs for TS4 than EPs.

I will try the Sims Mobile when it comes to my country. But I am not optimistic because I was never a legacy player and I actually don't like to kill my sims at all.

(At least there's a tiny little bit of gameplay in SP...)

I don't know if you'll be happy with The Sims Mobile, considered that sims age super fast. 1 day for babies, 1 day toddlers, 2 days kids, (yup, no teens at the moment) 4 days young adults, 4 days adults and I don't know about the elders since I'll find out tomorrow, when my sims turn into elders for the first time (I guess 4 days for them too, anyway). Sims are playable only once they become young adults, you can only interact with babies, toddlers and children, though this might chance once the game is released or with future updates.
The game at the moment feels super limited, I guess it'll take many updates and tweaks to make it more fun.
It's not bad at all, feels like a nice starter point from which they can expand in a lot of fun ways (for a mobile game), but yeah... it's really limited and repetive at the moment. And you can kiss your sims goodbye 'cause they age in the blink of an eye (... usually, I play legacies on long life span). The generations run very fast, I'm about to start the third one since the game soft launched.

As I just wrote elsewhere I think that the currently fast aging is caused by the fact that at the moment the game is only on test in Brazil and EA therefore likely want you to advance fast such that you can test more parts of the game for the developers. I therefore expect them to slow the aging down quite a bit in the final release version of the game - which alas most likely are months away (because there have always been several months between the first limited release and the official launch for the many other games which until now have used soft launch).

I hope that is the case, if it is I might give it a try. The thought of putting a lot of work into one sim only to have them aged to death in a few short days coupled with the hurry hurry hurry get a mate, get popping out the next gen before you're in dentures, adult sim diapers and a walker exhausts me just thinking about it.
