Features that I have been asking for, FOREVER.
I wish they would give us innovative new features. I've been playing since the game was released and most of the time when I close the game or just forget about the game altogether it's because of limitations. I would like to see • U & O Shaped rooms • 1x1 rooms (they patched the glitch) • More walls & floors, in bulk. Give us packs. Not just one or two every so often in a hunt. I want to be overwhelmed with choices, as if I'm playing Sims 4 or TSM. • Door and window sets that MATCH. Why do I have Homestead windows & doors, a double doorframe, but no single doorframe? • Matching colors under the wrong names. Why are there 5 different shades of white, pine, oak, etc? Why does one item called "pine" have the shade of another item's "walnut"?? • More pet fashion & furniture • Ability to swap the side the driveway is on for driveway homes. Yes, we can put a patio on the other side, but come on, you know a driveway connects to the street, not just the sidewalk ;( • An automated work schedule for employed/enrolled sims. I usually work full time, so it would be nice to click one button that sends all unoccupied sims to their roles, or like with the VIP cakes, check off which ones I want to go and hit send at once. • Stop making events for us to build our own schools & daycares. I don't always have time to manage the babies and toddlers and feel guilty for making them watch TV & hibernate while I work on other things... • To follow up my last point, design the lots already in-game to be interactive, which in turn opens more interactive jobs. I would love to send my kids to daycare, even interact with them as a teacher at school (as a job, like the police/hospital/spa), or explore the Art Museum and Musician buildings, etc. • Re-release edges. It's been over a year, they are a favorited feature by many builders. Either run the Midcentury Mod hunt again or release them in the store as a purchasable pack. • Cheapen EVERYTHING. Simflation is hurting the player base and morale. I can't complete the desert or forest lots because each house costs MILLIONS. I can't build any of the superyachts. I can't even build the Cafe. There should be a limit. We all put so much time and money (real and fake) into completing professions for them to only come home with §3000 and the monuments don't add much. Why oh why is a coffee machine §500,000? • The obvious inventory concerns... sorting, searching, archiving, bulk selling... We all have been begging... • More diverse decor, lots, and fashion. Give us East Asian, give us Slavic, give us more Latin, give us Middle Eastern, give us more African. Enough of the wild west, French, baroque, and millennial greige... • Clothing and hairstyle sorting. If they can do it on the Sims Mobile, what's stopping them on Freeplay? I definitely customize my sims 90% less than I used to when they got rid of the gendered items. Yes, that should have been an option. No, it should not have been introduced without the ability to sort by "long, short, feminine, masculine, unisex" etc. • The volume of pets. I have to play with the volume off because I don't want to hear barking and meowing every 2 minutes. • The bug where window shades & shutters close on their own when you leave the lot or close the game. I don't even use certain windows because I have to open them manually every single time I re-enter the lot. With the dynamic lighting update this is especially frustrating. • The bug where you can be building in a on one floor, tap something, and it will take you to a completely different item on a different floor? Am I the only one having this issue? It's consistently happened since the dynamic lighting update came out. It happens all the time... I hate to be critical, especially of a game that has given me so much consistency for the past 10+ years in my difficult life. But I'm finding myself frustrated and bored more often than I find myself excited and satisfied like I was years ago. It's still my most played mobile game, but I'm feeling limited and lead-on. I hope the team will see this discussion and anything else you guys reccomend, and take it to the board room.3Views0likes0CommentsBug with a mission
In the "Hunting Ghosts" mission, it asks you to buy the haunted painting, but it's in the home decorations section. However, when I open the decorations, the haunted painting or any other mission-related item doesn't appear (in any Sim’s houses). It seems to be a bug, but I don't know how to fix it, and without completing this mission I can't level up, as it's a progression mission. Has this happened to anyone else? Can someone please help me?! Thank you! PS: I have a screenshot, but it’s in portuguese because I play in Europe.Solved21Views0likes4CommentsCactus Cave house template
Hello! The Cactus Cave house template is missing after completing all tasks on time. The template is no where to be found. After completing the event, I received the house, bulldozed to build the completed house and the template was not there. An online search shows me that this has been an issue for a while. I’ve searched all templates and made sure my game is updated and have restarted my iPad. Please help recover the template.14Views0likes0CommentsPool Cleaner Causing Crash
Every time I try to access a house that contains a pool cleaner, my game crashes. It takes a few tries to get the game restarted, and when I do, all of my sims will be idle, no matter what tasks they were engaged in -- including work shifts, which will register as being done, but I won't get paid. This started in the early hours of October 28. The game crashed again a few hours later when I logged in to start the Haunting of Goth House Craft Challenge. I was unable to access the event tab for the entirety of that event. Now that the next Craft Challenge has started, I'm still unable to access the event tab. I have force quit the game and restarted it. I have force quit all currently open apps and restarted just the game. I have powered down my device (iPad Mini 6) and turned it back on. I have removed the app from my device and reloaded it. I have 80GB of open storage. A look at the data analytics shows bug type 309. Both the game and the iOS are running the latest version. I've gone back and forth with EA Help through the app, mainly having bots tell me to do all of the things I had already done. Finally, what I believe might be an actual person told me to report it on the EA Forums in the hope that if enough other people were having this problem, EA might fix it.11Views0likes0Comments[Bug] SimTown stuck at 8/9 Sims — cannot create new Sim
Hello, I’m having an issue in The Sims FreePlay where my SimTown is stuck at 8/9 Sims. The game says “SimTown is full” even though there’s still one available slot. I have already: - Moved out Sims - Uploaded and downloaded my cloud save - Reinstalled the game - Tried syncing with EA account But the issue remains. Please help fix this or reset the Sim population limit for my account. (Ref Case ID: #229013165) Thank you! Xin chào, tôi bị lỗi SimTown chỉ có 8/9 Sims nhưng game vẫn báo đầy. Đã thử xóa, tải lại, đồng bộ dữ liệu nhiều lần nhưng vẫn không tạo được Sim mới. Nhờ EA kiểm tra và hỗ trợ reset lại giới hạn giúp tôi. Cảm ơn!19Views0likes2CommentsSearch bar needed plz
We need a search bar in the home section and a more thorough filtering option menu. It would make the quality of gaming life 1000% better because it’s very overwhelming when one tries to find specific items but can’t remember if it was free/social or life points, nor what star the items are. For example when searching for a lamp, which brings up so many options, to be able to select colors and the type of style like: desk, table, floor, etc, this would tremendously benefit every player and encourage them to build more often (in my case at all.) I have been playing sims since 2001 and I love the sims. I currently play the sims Freeplay and I truly believe that this would make an awesome game even more so! Thank you for reading this, pass it on please.8Views0likes0CommentsLost data
I am playing on iOS. Yesterday I received a couple error messages about cloud saves, but they cleared themselves up. I finished the Goth House craft mission and used SP to purchase remaining resources and I RECEIVED THE HOUSE. Late last night I received a message instructing me to choose a save file: cloud file from 19 hours previous or local (device) file with no time stamp I chose the cloud file and now I DO NOT HAVE THE GOTH HOUSE or the other items from the final prize pack. PLEASE FIX THIS, I spent so much time working right up to the minute!!23Views0likes1CommentData Recovery Bug
I can’t restore my Sims FreePlay cloud save even though I’m logged into Facebook. The game gives the ability to recover data but it can’t be downloaded, it goes through then repops up. My save was from around 2023, and the system lists it as 102 weeks old, but before when it was 21 weeks, I still wasn’t able to. My link is still currently active, I just need restoration. EA Help told me to contact the Sims team directly.7Views0likes0Comments
