I'm not much of a gamer (but I do love mystery and puzzle games). Now ever since I started with this game out of curiosity I can't stop playing! It's so good! I love the graphic design and the storylines (or the quests). You are able to create your own Sim characters and make them interact with each other to make them friends to lovers, married and even start a family. The toddlers can then grow up to have a life of their own! One thing I don't really like about the interactions is that when 2 Sims break up, they become strangers and they have to start all over again to build their relationship. Another characteristic of this game that I find odd is the way they walk. I can't help but be kind of annoyed and amused, so I guess it was meant by the creators as a humour for the players. It's current winter and it's snowing in my town and the design looks flawless! I mean heck, there is even a Santa riding a sleigh ride across the sky from time to time!!
Overall, this game is a really pleasant experience. Each quest takes time to complete, which means I can leave my sims to their business, exit the game and come back later to continue the next adventure, which is a good thing so I don't have to stay on the game all the time and can proceed with my other work (in real life of course). And I'm also glad that there is so much to this game even if you don't pay for it or buy upgrades and VIP membership.

This app is my absolute favourite app!!!
I can't help it but I play it every single day!!!!!!!
It's just soooo good!! There are sooo many things u can do on the, 'sims free play,' I would list them but it might take a awful long time!!
I'm not on level 27 and have quite a bit of money.
They keep it updated as well, witch means that things improve and get way better!!

This game is good for all ages but maybe there are a few things up have to understand before playing, I mean I'm 11 now so I would say it's probs a 6 +.
It's a very good game anyway.

I don't know what I would do without it, LOL!!!!!
Just the graphics are awesome and so are the quests that u have to do. And also, it's very realistic!!! Haha!!

I'm afraid that there is a down side though :-(
If only it wasn't so good that every time u can't buy something on the town map that u ask ur mum/ dad for money!!! It coasts around £4.00 to buy 685,000 coins on sims, I have brought that many times but I can't keep doing it!! A great way is to get gift cards, they are good and cool!!!!

I think that if u have an Apple device u get 2 LP a day just by watching a video. This app is very good and I hope my review has helped I would definitely give this app 5 whole stars!!

Hope this has helped xxx

Love it, very addictive and time consuming but I cant seem to put it down. I have to force myself to make my sims go to work or school when I have a day off myself or I would never get anything done. It can be frustrating at times as some tasks take ages to complete and a few minor glitches pop up now and then such as sims standing inside each other or holding a conversation with another sim while standing inside a door but they dont spoil the fun really.
There are help sites and forums etc but I did not look at those much as I preferred to learn as I went by trial and error and not know what is coming up next in hindsight it would have been beneficial if only to realize that the pine floorboards and wall paper in my first 2 houses were un-plastered walls and hardboard.
A word of warning while it is a free app you will need to spend money on it if you want to progress at a reasonable pace I am on level 37 at the moment but if I had not spent anything I doubt I would be at level 10 by now and missed on a lot of time limited rewards and probably given up.I spend my money wisely and budget my self but if you cant do that install at your peril!

I am a veteran of the SIMS games, having played all the previous versions. This little game is slightly different in style to the full games, but with some very familiar features. I have been playing the SIMS Freeplay daily (!) for over two months now and the game itself is really good. You still get to build houses and keep your Sims fed and washed, but there is a whole new element in the city building aspect, and there are quests that lead you through the game that make it interesting and amusing. After two months I am still on what I think are the tutorial quests, and they are still fresh and addictive.

The one major downside is the adverts. At first there were none, but after a certain level, maybe 10, I started getting 30 second unskippable adverts every time I start the game and sometimes whilst playing too. Normally adverts don't bother me, after all this IS a free game, but two things make them so bad that I have had to stop playing the game: firstly, this game is designed for you to "check in" a few times a day, and so you have to waste 30 seconds ignoring an advert every time. VERY annoying. Secondly, and most importantly, those adverts are VERY inappropriate for children considering this game has always been a 12. The adverts are clearly targeted at adults, but even as an adult I was distressed by having to watch an advert about a woman being abused EVERY TIME I wanted to play. That was enough to make me give up. A very stupid and distressing decision by EA on what is otherwise a great little game.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Sims everywhere
Reviewed in Italy on 25 December 2016
Sono un'appassionata della saga di The Sims fin dall'uscita del primo, The Sims 1, nel 2000. Da lì ho poi provato praticamente quasi tutte le espansioni.
Ho giocato a The Sims esclusivamente su PC, così ero curiosa di vedere com'era questo gioco anche su smartphone.

- INSTALLAZIONE -

La App è piuttosto pesante: circa 47mb per installarla, poi ben 487mb di download e altri circa 700mb di materiale aggiuntivo, quindi bisogna per forza avere sempre il Wi-Fi collegato (anche mentre si gioca) e una bella scheda SD inserita.
Mentre si scarica il materiale aggiuntivo si può comunque continuare a giocare.

Se si gioca anche su un altro dispositivo si può utilizzare il cloud per recuperare i dati salvati e continuare la partita, così da non perdere niente.

- GIOCO -

Dopo aver creato il primo sim segue il tutorial, come in ogni buon The sims che si rispetti. Come ruotare la telecamera con le dita, impostare la visuale, comprare il nostro primo gabinetto! Infatti nel frattempo il/la Sim sembra se la stia per fare addosso.. Il tutorial è facilissimo ma un po' noioso, la modalità di gioco è molto intuitiva quindi non c'è molto bisogno di un tutorial così lungo.
Ovviamente il gioco non è identico al gioco su PC, ma ci va molto vicino. Per certi versi mi ricorda un po' The Sims 1, ad esempio non si possono molto personalizzare i sims, ci sono pochi visi, capelli, vestiti ecc tra cui scegliere e non si può per esempio modificare la fisionomia di corpo e viso.
Poi è un gioco che va molto per livelli, punti esperienza, punti vita, missioni ecc.

E' un po' "lento" come gioco, ad esempio per la missione "Cercare nella libreria" bisogna aspettare 2 ore reali e non si può mandare avanti il tempo come nel vero The Sims.. ma questo è normale in questi tipi di giochi, spingono l'utente a comprare i loro pacchetti punti per poter andare avanti più velocemente nel gioco.

Gioco comunque molto carino e divertente, molto facile e anche sempre aggiornato. Ad esempio ci sono missioni settimanali per vincere premi e scatole misteriose, quindi un modo in più per continuare a giocare.

Il gioco è abbastanza fluido, ci mette poco a caricare e a passare da una schermata all'altra (esempio dalla visuale città alla casa del sim), anche su un cellulare non tanto performante come il mio.
L'unico "problema" che riscontro (ma forse è colpa mia e/o del mio smartphone) è che con le dita è un disastro giocare, spesso non ruota la visuale come vorrei, non va dove voglio ecc. Potevano mettere almeno i comandi per la visuale come nel gioco per PC.

Consiglio questa app a chi è amante dei giochi di simulazione (è anche gratis!), per occupare qualche oretta qua e là durante il giorno.
