EA Killed The Sims Mobile and Left Players With Nothing
This decision makes no sense and deserves to be called out. The Sims Mobile was the only Sims game on mobile that respected players’ time, creativity, and emotional investment. Instead of expanding it with more careers, hobbies, and worlds — which players repeatedly asked for — EA chose to completely shut it down. This was not because the game was bad. This was not because there was no demand. This was because EA decided it was easier and more profitable to abandon it. Pushing players toward The Sims FreePlay is not a solution. FreePlay is a fundamentally different game: excessive timers, limited Create-a-Sim, restricted building, outdated mechanics, and aggressive monetization. It does not replace Sims Mobile in any meaningful way. For iPad and mobile-only players, EA effectively removed The Sims entirely. There is no alternative, no successor, and no acknowledgment that a large part of the community preferred story-driven, fast, creative gameplay over timer-based grinding. This shutdown shows a complete disregard for player feedback. Many of us would have continued supporting Sims Mobile if EA had invested in meaningful content instead of abandoning it. EA didn’t just shut down a game — it broke trust with its players. At the very least, the Sims Mobile community deserves: • a clear and honest explanation • acknowledgment of what was lost • and reassurance that future Sims mobile projects will not repeat this mistake Silence and forced migration to a worse product is not acceptable.
The Sims Medieval won't launch
I uninstalled and re-downloaded the Sims Medieval and it didn't work at all. I downloaded powershell and ran this thing that was marked as a solution before: echo "Launch Sims Medieval..." Launch Sims Medieval... PS C:\Windows\System32> PS C:\Windows\System32> do{ >> $TSM = Get-Process TSM, SMLauncher, SimsMedievalLauncher -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue >> }until($TSM) and when I tried to run the Sims Medieval, it pooped out this: PS C:\Windows\System32> PS C:\Windows\System32> $Affinity=$TSM.ProcessorAffinity PS C:\Windows\System32> PS C:\Windows\System32> $TSM.ProcessorAffinity=1 PS C:\Windows\System32> PS C:\Windows\System32> Start-Sleep -s 5 PS C:\Windows\System32> PS C:\Windows\System32> $TSM.ProcessorAffinity=$Affinity SetValueInvocationException: Exception setting "ProcessorAffinity": "Cannot process request because the process (57268) has exited." PS C:\Windows\System32> $TSM.ProcessorAffinity=$Affinity I love TSM and I want to play it very much. I tried to use the EA contact support thing, but every time I said "The Sims Medieval won't launch" to the chat bot, it ended the conversation abruptly. I can't believe the state that EA is letting their app support slip to. This is so disappointing. Why would I ever buy another EA game if it's so hard to get support for them? And if you don't plan on keeping up with game maintenance for an old game, why re-release and re-sell it??Bring back spin off versions of Sims
Growing up I absolutely loved playing The Sims but my fondest memories aren’t from the main game itself, it was from playing Sims Urbz, Bustin out, Castaway and all the other brilliant spin off versions of the game, they were absolutely brilliant and worth every penny. considering EA has just announced they will not be making a Sims5 when people have spent so much money on Sims4 already which is fair but I think this opens up the opportunity to create these spin-off versions once again as I know for a fact I would buy them just for the nostalgia on its own. This is something I strongly believe should be considered for future content!
