The Sims Freeplay- Between the Lines: Tale of Knights Update

AD | Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA Creator Network) may differ from actual version

Update available from 25th August 2:30am UTC

Firstly sorry I missed the last update, I was on my honeymoon! This is a fantasy regal themed update including a major (and arguably problematic) change called Season Passes, keep reading for more information.

SEASON PASS

Every update will now have a Season Pass, you may have seen these in other games, basically they are a complete money grab!

There are two passes, Free and Premium, everyone gets access to the free pass but you will need to spend real money if you want to unlock the Premium pass for a chance to earn those items.

Daily tasks have changed again to include tokens as prizes for completing them, these tokens are used to level up on the pass. There are 4 daily tasks for free pass players and 2 extra daily tasks for premium pass players. Daily tasks change every 24 hours.

There are also Season tasks which will be available for the duration of the season pass event or until you complete the task, these are usually longer tasks but you will earn more tokens for completing them.

There are 60 levels in total, each time you level up you will unlock a prize (for the premium pass, you unlock a prize at most levels on the free pass but not all of them)

What do I think?

The prizes in my opinion aren’t even that great, there are a lot of doubles- so the same item in a different colour. Is it worth $9.99? I don’t think so! But the problem is players will feel pressured into buying it every update for fear of missing out.

My main issue with the season pass is that everything else now seems to be an afterthought- the new craft challenge doesn’t even have names for the packed they are just ‘pack 1, pack 2a..’ and the prizes for all events are now mainly community market upgrade items, cupcakes or mystery keys which are useful but I would be more likely to complete an event if they contained some great build or create a sim items- even the items that are available are not interesting. All the good prizes are now behind a paywall and considering it is called the Sims FREEplay it really is not in the spirit of this game. At the moment I am sad that this game is nothing like it used to be, some changes have been needed but others make this game less enjoyable to play.

I would really love your opinions on Season Passes, whether you love or hate them let me know and I will pass your feedback on.

The Livin’ Large Expansion brings major changes to The Sims Freeplay in this update, including:
- 10 new levels (66-75)

- - 7 new sims (unlocked at levels 17, 40, 66, 68,70, 72 and 75)
  - Store upgrades (from level 15)

Store upgrades

You will notice when you open the game star ratings on all buildings with the ability to upgrade 10 of the stores from star rating 1 to 3:

The stores you can upgrade are:

Pet Store
Children’s Store
Promotions ‘r’ Us
Baby ‘n’ Bumps
Pet Salon
Salon
Costume and Swim Store
Car Dealer
Sorcerous Supplies
Supermarket

You will firstly complete a tutorial with Nancy Landgraab by clicking on the Pet Store.

You will now get the options to upgrade or enter store (enter store allows you to shop like normal)

Clicking upgrade brings up a screen with 10 upgrades. Once you have completed 5 upgrades you will reach 2 stars and once you have completed all 10 upgrades you will reach 3 stars for that store.

To upgrade you need upgrade tools (Blueprints, Fuses and Hard Hats) which you get by completing Landgraab Exec requests at the Community Market

Once you have completed a request you need to complete 4 normal community market requests before you will get another from the Landgraab Exec.

As well as the resources upgrades will cost simoleons. There is also a time stated, this is how long the upgrade will take to complete

You need to complete 1 row at a time so upgrades in row 1 must be completed before the second row unlocks but they can be completed in any order in that row. For example, the image below shows that we can complete 3 upgrades in this row and they can be completed in any order but we won’t be able to move on to the next row until these 3 upgrades are all complete:

Upgrades can be previewed before so you can check all upgrades before deciding where you want to focus your resources first BUT you need to complete 8 stores to 2 star before you can complete the final upgrade for any store.

You also need to reach 2 star to complete a level up goal for each of the last 10 levels (65-75)

There are some great upgrades available, for example, you can unlock Catty Cakes with a Pet Store upgrade and they will live at the Community Market and find resources you need to complete customer requests, you will also be able to have up to 16 pets living in one house if you complete all Pet Store and Pet Salon upgrades and some Sorcerous Supplies store updates include spells that clean up pee, vomit and dirty dishes instantly! Other upgrades include new items unlocked, new interactions between sims and making it easy to find certain hobby items.
