The Sims Mobile- Sims NObile?

The latest update of The Sims Mobile has caused uproar in the community but why and is it justified?

Previously when you brought an item or wallpaper etc in the game you got many different colour swatches of that item once you buy it so you could change between colours as much as you liked for free but for some reason The Sims Mobile team decided to change this for the Winter update. Now when you buy a new item you have to buy the different colour swatches individually:

You’d think that buying the colour entitled you to that item but no, you have to then buy the item once you have paid to unlock the colour!! (with the exception of create a sim items, buying the colour buys that item- but only in that colour) It looks like you get to keep all the ones you already had but for future items you will have to buy the different colours separately for either simoleons or simcash. It looks like they have attempted to reduce the prices but some disgruntled players have said this isn’t the case with all items, for example, one of the fridges now costs 425 simcash!!

This is the last straw for a lot of players and quite frankly I don’t blame them. The issues from the last update also haven’t been fixed for everyone which has added to the anger. I am an EA GameChanger for The Sims Mobile so I like to give a lot of feedback to the team on how the game could be improved but the majority of feedback is ignored which really makes me think that they don’t really care about the players just how much money they can make. I find it really disappointing as I’ve seen some really great suggestions that if they took onboard could make this game a whole lot better.

I’ve played a lot of mobile games and generally if I feel that you cannot play the game without spending money I stop playing, I am not against making in app purchases, every now and then when I see something I like in The Sims Freeplay I buy it because they listen to their customers and I don’t feel like I am being forced to spend money. The Sims Mobile on the other hand have been making quests and events longer to the point that they are now impossible to complete in the time limit, the packs they want us to buy are extremely overpriced and now they have done this to make us spend even more money, if things do not change I will be walking away because in it’s current state it is in app purchases with repetitive tasks to complete in between.

Once you have unlocked an item there will be a tick on that item, the aim is to unlock all the items before the time limit is up!

I am so glad they have removed all the different kinds of tickets so they are no longer a common prize we get in these events- I ended up with more of those tickets than anything else in the past so I am really hoping I will be able to get more of the prizes this time! I do find it odd that this is called ‘Back to School’ when you can’t even play as a child or teen in this game!

Thanks for reading!

The Sims Mobile- What Do You Want To See In Future Updates?

I’ve had a few comments with suggestions for The Sims Mobile so I have added them to this post, if you have any suggestions please comment on this post and I will add them

If you have suggestions about The Sims Freeplay please don’t comment on this post, The Sims Freeplay suggestion post is here

 

  • Expand the friends list to 100
  • If you reach the max level in a career you shouldn’t have to pay to switch to a new career
  • Why isn’t there a bathtub that doesn’t require simcash?
  • The storage section is a mess! We need categories to easily find items
  • Being able to sell items from storage is a must
  • Should be cheaper to unlock new buildings
  • Add more free things to the game rather than new things we have to buy
  • It would be nice to see who has looked at your house and maybe have a message board (like party chat but just for that player to see)
  • Now the daily to do list has been replaced it is impossible to earn fashion gems- there is no incentive to give other players stickers anymore so we hardly earn any gems in the sticker contest
  • Land expansions are too expensive
  • It takes too long to unlock new rooms
  • Make 3rd and 4th player unlock based on level, having to buy those with simcash is unfair
  • A surprising choice is too expensive- actually most things in the game are too expensive!
  • More than one house as we get a lot of duplicates- who needs 5 BBQs on one lot?
  • More display shelves for heirlooms
  • Movable mailbox
  • Camera button to take pictures without UI in the way
  • Walls button to see the walls up as well as down and cut through
  • Family tree
  • A better way to request players to join your household
  • Be able to interact with your friends sims when you visit their house
  • Add teenagers to the game! Even if they aren’t playable
  • Toddlers and children autonomously use the items designed for them (toy boxes, activity desk, potty etc)
  • When a sim grows up and becomes playable their past relationships don’t vanish (they shouldn’t have to be introduced to their mother after they age)
  • Ability to see who’s given your sim stickers
  • Pregnancy
  • A better way to earn cupcakes now we don’t have the daily to do list
  • More quests! Less LlamaZoom!
  • Be able to place items outside instead of being restricted to inside placement
  • More story chapters
  • Easier ways to earn simcash, cupcakes and gems
  • Get rid of all the tickets and just have simoleons and simcash
  • Get rid of LlamaZoom and stop making us do endless LlamaZoom tasks in quests!
  • More career, hobby and relationship stories
  • More levels added to the game
  • Multi story houses!
