FINISH ROCKY HEIGHTS
I’ve been playing since 2017 and I love it but I NEED rocky heights to be finished. It’s been over a year since we got breezy fields. I’m excited and eager to unlock more neighborhoods. Especially the one that looks more snowy. I’m interested to see that one. Please just finish rocky heights.
Download Error
Since downloading the season pass for this new update, I can no longer play the game due to a download error. I have tried updating my phone, turning it on and off, trying cellular data instead of Wi-Fi, and going through my settings. Is this an error everybody’s having or is it just me 😢
Updating jobs
I do enjoy the Sims FreePlay, however, I can never get enough life points to add rooms to businesses so my Police and Movie set or building stores will never be built! 😮💨I can’t afford $49 to buy life points! VERY DISAPPOINTED! ☹️
Why !!!!
Gardening, working, tasks , challenges, i do everything beside playing the actual game , , i love building houses and architecture and decorating, but lately i exhausted and stress over challenges, gardening , collect wood, hammers… and work and money and Lp and god know i can’t do anything i love in this game EA you add too much that change what this game truly are i love sims since I was little girl, but now i have harvest and run for challenge to challenge or collect items , it’s like trap or matryoshka doll 🪆 why ?!! I don’t get it anymore i even I don’t want to update it anymore ?!
Not liking the New Update
I’ve played this game for many years. I really do not like the new updates!
Long Live The Sims
I have been playing The Sims and extensions game through EA since about the 2003 and The Sims have come a long way since the first version and the kitchen fires! LBVS I appreciate the hard work and creativity that the developers have done! However this by far in my opinion is thee l o n g e s t version why does it take 11 hours to sweep the restaurant and why host booth not available and the bar does not serve drinks??? It would be nice for the Sims slightly autonomous as if it can become a little overwhelming to manage 25+ sims. Also I miss the little details from the last version of designing your furniture for example placing a centerpiece on the table and THE SIMS still having room to eat and moving furniture in four directions and lastly I miss the party’s and the mingle options and rewards now it bake a cake and that’s it your SIMS ages. What I do love about this version is the ICE Skating Park in the mountains so cute so cool it would nice to host a wedding there and go skiing tell me how can I join the content creator’s team?
WORST UPDATE EVER
I've been playing this game since 10 years ago, but I haven't really liked the last few updates. I really don't like the UI design and it's hard to get used to, but I forced myself to adapt because I really like the game. But this season's update is just too annoying, I don't like this kind of season gameplay! Really disappointed!
Just a suggestion
I love this game but why you guys take away the couples cuddling on the couch with coffee. You should also have it where you can give each other regular hugs without having to kiss. So they can hug their family members. Give us more clothes for free that's actually cute. Thank you !😊
fun but nothing is free
I love this game but the in game purchase options are so ridiculous. I’m down for paying 99¢ or $1.99 every once in a while. Everything is $7.99 or more, and it’s not worth it at all. $5.99 for 300,000 in game coins?? absolutely insane
Entertaining
I love the game it’s kinda entertaining ! But please let me know which sims I can download on Mac since I’m on mobile and I wanna have voltige selections on mobile and hair face shape nose ect and more but if it’s another type of sims game I can get on Mac let me know pleaseee
The Sims FreePlay
Pet your pets!
August update
Absolutely terrible and not playable.
Update
this most recent update is giving my game a lot of issues. i can’t build on a lot, the xl lot lags. hopefully that’s fixed because i love the game otherwise
New Download
I can’t download the new update. Update doesn’t work.
Newest update- inventory issues
Love this game and have played for almost a year at level 29. The newest update has taken numerous things from my inventory and also makes things disappear after placing items in the inventory. Time, real currency and effort is lost due to this bug. Please fix it!
How do you get them pregnant
how how how how how how how
No fair
Need more hair and outfit options that don’t cost actual money or being level 1000 or something
New home store SUCKS
I love this game. I spend all my time awake on here. It's a problem. But this new home store absolutely SUCKS!!!! I hate the new graphics. It's harder to find things. I can't choose two subgroups to filter. And most importantly if I put something that isn't available in the home store (like something that comes in a house I won that isn't available in the home store) in my inventory it's just GONE. Before I could click inventory and the sub group and it would be there (in order of last used which is actually super helpful too) and now I just can't find it. I put a table in my inventory and now it's vanished. Put it back to the original home store. Please I beg of you.
Not a fan of the season pass situation
I’ve been playing this game for at least 10 years now. I’ve watched several games cave to the money grubbing trend of “seasons” and “season passes” and I am honestly shocked that sims finally got on board. I do not like season pass things at all. All new content ends up getting paywalled and players like me who don’t spend all their money on games end up never seeing new content again. I hope the season pass does not return.
The updates
I’m glad there’s more to this….but I used to be able to get all the tasks done for the daily requests, now I need to pay for the premium which I can’t really do. And that makes it where I can’t get more keys for the other prizes

New Update
You guys are upgrading things nobody asked for. The layout of the game is getting more and more confusing. As a loyal player who spends real money,please put it back.
Great immersion of sims mobile and sims freeplay
There’s so many things I like but I do wish you could customize your people better. Sims mobile can make big girl sims. And I like that lol
Don't update
I lost a ton of stuff in my inventory that I got from mystery boxes. I spent simoleons and social points, etc on this !! All this disappeared after the update.
I used to love this game
I am so sad with these new updates. I haven’t figured out a way to earn Simoleons like you could with the garden.. I don’t like the Community Garden thing. It feels practically impossible to build it up. And any chance you get to be able to build it up is null because you also need to use the same supplies to build anything else in the town. Everything feels so impossible now.. I liked that I didn’t HAVE to constantly be playing the game and could set things up and come back in an hour or two to collect some potatoes.. but now it feels like they expect you to be able to be glued to your phone.. And on top of that, the quests feel impossible too. It used to be so fun to do and now it’s just frustrating.
Worst update ever
some glitch happened with the new inventory set up and over half of the things i had saved are gone! bring back my stuff!!!!!!
The game
I don’t like how yall update game that don’t need to be updated I like how the old game was
GREAT TAME, BUT…
Please make this available on laptops!
New in game update
This update literally sucks!Why would y’all change the game format…nobody said do that makes me no even wanna play
I want to write this due to things I would really appreciate if you were to do.
First as I see some people have similar issues that I have had I bought a pack and received nothing. Considering you pay money for that I would really appreciate if you would look into that. Next the pricing most item in the game a sofa for 100,000 is insane and the price of building are way to high. Now for the sims they are wonderful but more body types would really be appreciated and more realistic. I’ve been playing for years the family dynamics is something I’ve also realized it is quite annoying not half siblings just siblings not stepkids just house mates. This is just my preference but as I have said it would be really appreciated if you’d fix and change this minor and major things. Please read this!
Pls add more accessories
I’m begging for necklaces my sims look so plain i wish i could edit their body types as well not everyone is thin …love the game tho ! And can we have multiple hobbies i feel like all my sims need to cook and sometimes i wish they could have another hobby ..
Pay to play
This game is strictly a pay to play for example I have over $2 million simoleons to spend in my town and I can’t even buy furniture because half the furniture is behind two different types of currency which takes forever for you to accumulate so you would either have to buy the currency or go without the furniture. You have to complete these missions which take very long time to complete because one task out of a mission of twenty task can take you anywhere from two minutes to seventeen hours. Everything is over priced so there was a couch that cost like 200 grand if you buy it for 200 grand and then decide that you don’t want it and sell it. They’re basically gonna give you $1000 2000 if you’re lucky so you’re stuck with the furniture. The time it takes to do things is crazy in order for your Sims to cook certain foods. It can take five minutes or it can take five hours. This is real time. I am also noticing that I’m losing stuff in my inventory I had a cat bed two cat beds and two cat dishes. I put them in my inventory. I have no idea where they are now they’re gone and it’s so tedious that you have to complete missions to do stuff in the game like right now I have to complete a mission just so I can pick my baby up out of the crib. I do not recommend this game to nobody. It’s too time-consuming. I have two police officers working at the police station and I have to complete task to accumulate resources to unlock rooms in the police station, but some of these task require me to use the room that’s locked, so I can’t even complete the task because the room still locked. It took me two days to try to complete a task and I missed the last task by 30 minutes because I can’t sit and play this game all day long and lost all of my progress. We’re talking two days worth of stuff.
Good
Pretty good. I was really enjoying this game. things are SUPER expensive. And I get it, you need money. Buuuuut it’s also sorta hard to get things by just playing the game. (I also do not like the new update, and to be honest, I hate it.) I also wish it was easier build stuff instead of having to work many many hours at the market. Also, I hate how you have to stay at the police station ALL day if you want good money and stuff. Like, seriously?
It looks like a ripper version of Roblox
It’s rip off version of Roblox in Sims it’s so much better than the rip off version FreePlay
Expensive
Everything is so expensive I miss when the game was fun now it takes forever to complete tasks cause they take 22 hours and buildings cost so much. The new quest you miss out on a lot of the new items because you half to win simchase or complete the clan stuff , I wish we could just be able to get those items those quests aren’t really fun and take away from what makes sims fun wich is playing and building , if you want more stuff like that make it easier for us. Also we need to clothes and hair styles.
Great game
I like
Gardening
This used to be a fun game.. It’s not anymore. There isn’t a good way to make money to be able to buy things or advance. Used to be able to garden when the workers got done at their job. Now, it literally takes forever to collect money to be able to upgrade anything.. Than, once you upgrade one thing the price of everything goes up so than again it takes even more time to collect money to build and do things..
Glitch In City and Glitch with Bass Guitar
Great amazing game. I want to let it known that there is a GLITCH in the city where there is no icon at the train station to go back to the neighborhood like it does from the neighborhood to the city. It makes it that you have to manually go to the all location button on the bottom right instead of being able to press the icon button above the station in the city to easily go to the neighborhood, essentially you’re stuck. Please fix as it’s been broken for a while. As well there has been an ongoing glitch with the bass guitar that after a sim uses it the guitar floats in an holding position with makes it hard to press and use again. There is also an ongoing glitch where if you go to a sims home and they’re sitting at a desk on their own which i presume is from the library development feature - they will be floating sitting somewhere else and they will teleport back to the seat to get up if you press on the sim or get them to do an action. Love the game and hope my review gets looked at to fix these problems since i love the game and love to help let it be known the issues and glitches as i don’t know where else to report them.
MARKET
I used to play 3 years ago and decided to restart and now I regret it!! I hate that they added the market and you have to get tools to build things!!!! I have the money to build but the damn tools!!! Please remove it!!!!!!!!!
Meh
Good game but you have to level up a TON also not a lot of customization
The bugs are fixed.
Update 3: I uninstall and reinstall it now for low storage to update, so that I could update- or otherwise I don’t have enough storage to update. My speed is also too low to download so I would install later. Temporarily offload for storage only, would be back so don’t worry. Also if you want me to stay in your game after I have accomplished everything like I have a nearly accomplished account as you know, then please don’t help suck people especially females’ income to the end so I could have enough money to buy enough devices and so on things so I could just not decide which game to delete to keep myself having enough storage to play other games that are also good and also I could pay you more. I don’t like deleting games either, so this could be the way. I could download the additional contents now, your added resume download button works.
Great Gameplay/Terrible Economy
I love The Sims FreePlay and have played for years, but the economy has become extremely frustrating. Building costs are ridiculous, while earning Simoleons takes far too long. Hammers and nails can be nearly impossible to get when needed. LP and SP are also too scarce, making players feel pushed toward spending real money. The new Daily Tasks and Season system adds even more demands without fixing these problems. I’m not asking for everything to be free. I’m asking for balance. Lower building costs, improve Simoleon earnings, make LP/SP and building materials easier to earn, and make Daily and Season rewards actually feel rewarding. Bring back the original Daily Task system. I love this game. I just want my time and effort to be worth something.
Love it, but…
I love this game, it’s amazing, but I keep deleting it because it becomes either too stressful, overwhelming, expensive or boring. The stress comes from the fact that you have to take care of a whole town full of sims that can’t do much by themselves, or anything for that matter. The overwhelming comes from the same thing as the stress, but I find, with the competitions and needing to build more things to level up and not being able to unlock stuff without being a certain level, completing the competitions, not having enough money to build stuff etc, is a lot. Especially for my neurodivergent brain. The expensive stuff is from the fact that when you reach a certain level, or whenever you level up, this get super expensive, and, for me, end up at a point where I just flat out can’t buy it, because I don’t have enough in-game currency, or enough Sims to make more in-game currency or whatever. And that’s hard and frustrates me. Now, the boring part comes from the fact that the game becomes boring to me. Yes, I could do the competitions in the game, but everything in Sims has a timer on it, like, you go make your Sim do an action like, take a shower. That has a timer on it, for how long it’ll take until your sim is done. I don’t mind that feature, but I don’t like it. At all. And I don’t have the time to check in on the game every so often to see if the timer has ended, my brain doesn’t do that. I also have a life. And these competitions have limited time available, and lots of times, I’m too late to get any kind of reward. And I’m more of a roleplaying kind of gal, and Sims doesn’t have much of that Roleplay vibe to it, so for me, it gets boring quite quickly, because I want a game like Sims Freeplay, but more roleplay-y, like, you can do all this stuff you can in Sims, but with more of a Roleplay vibe to it. All and all, I love Sims Freeplay, but for me, it’s missing that spark that draws me to any kind of game. I’ll, of course, play it, because I like the game, but I might decide to delete it once I get bored with it. Then redownload it again once I’m bored with everything and want something new, and so on and on… good game though, I must admit.

Was much more enjoyable befor all the updates constantly.

A place to get lost in
I’ve been playing for a while now and it’s been so much fun. I start and find so much time has passed when I look up because I’m get so interested in building the different towns and filling the houses with interesting Sims. A great game
The updates are so disappointing
I used to love playing this so much every single day and I’m not I’m not alone in this because y’all been updating the game and we’ve been losing all our inventory when we spend money playing this game it is so frustrating that something that used to relax you and give you happiness just get disappointing. Please bring back our inventory stuff. Some of us spend money on it.
Great game
I love this game but… it’s wait times to do things are so long I feel like I am waiting 5 years other than that the game is a must have and is amazing!
It has potential
The game is alright but it needs little more work and more customizable faces and hair, clothes, etc. and also the graphics is bad.
PLEASE VIEW
So you have to do there needs every day and I am busy sometimes so I can’t do it every day can you please make so you only have to do it 1 time very week. Other than that it's great pets stores jobs. It’s pretty realistic I enjoy playing it. but if your busy alot I don't think I recommend this game to you.
