User comments

I’ve long been a fan of *The Sims*, having played it on PC and now on mobile—it has never let me down. It would be great if the gameplay mechanics could be further streamlined; for instance, an "all-sims-to-work" button would save the trouble of manually sending every household to work. Similarly, a "collect all rewards" button would be a huge help, avoiding the need to claim rewards for each household individually.

This is a highly engaging mobile game—really quite good! It does, however, require a significant time commitment. In my opinion, the PC version offers greater depth and creative potential, so I’d recommend giving that a try if you can. Overall, a fantastic game—five stars!

It’s a great game—truly excellent for a mobile title! My only issue is that sometimes, after I’ve assigned tasks to my Sims, I return to the game to find that all those tasks have been cancelled—which is quite frustrating. Could the developers please look into this? Thanks so much—keep up the good work! (Issue resolved: I’ve discovered that you shouldn’t use the game’s built-in "exit" function; simply pressing the device’s home button to leave the app works fine.)

Summarize

The Sims Mobile is an excellent version of the classic title by Maxis that is well-adapted to smartphones with a keen eye for detail. With outstanding graphics and endless possibilities, this title is a win-win even for your little ones at home as it's rated for all ages.
