Sims Freeplay is everything Sims 4 should be and have

I know this is kind of dumb.
I mean Freeplay is a mobile game. And it was released in 2011.
Sims 4 is a PC/Mac game and released in 2014.
But I feel like it has more content. Besides it being a pay-to-win mobile game, it has:
There was even an Urbz update (from the console game), seasons, horses, spell casting magic, restaurants and more.
Are the developers different? I would love all this content, but preteens, non-object babies, maybe even toddlers may not show in the Sims 4 updates. Even some hobbies may not be palpable =/ I still have hope, and I mean Freeplay was released 4 years ago, and is a simple mobile game.
But I am not a mobile girl. I think they could make a lot of money with a PC/Mac game like this.

- BABIES are not objects
- Toddlers
- Pre-teens
- Different careers (teacher, real estate, actor, firefighter, is there politician in Sims 4?)
- More hobbies (fashion, woodwork, diving, skating, karate, ballet, vaulting, quilting, seashell collecting, surfing, juggling, dancing, modeling, bowling and even archery!)
- More locations: Swimming Center, Elem & high schools, Restaurant, Car shop, Pet shop, Supermarket, salon, clothes store, kids store, mall, and all the career locations!

Maybe when EA still cared...
@XopaxPax Mobile gaming is becoming popular but still. It is kind of unfair. And you're right! I didn't even think of it that way. We do have to pay for horses and pets I didn't even realize it was free DLC even though they make money off of the little sim points system.
@SimChic1 They are continuing to develop for this sims mobile game. I think it is a whole different developer location. Emeryville is making Sims 4 right?
I think it just depends on who is working on it.
@hurfr Yes I am sure it could be added. Not all of it of course. Like the babies, it could be hard to make them interactive sims rather than objects. But what I just noticed is that Freeplay is getting all this content...free .
I don't mind paying for EP's I know they've got to make their money. I just don't like that we pay for content yet there's things we should have for free that we don't have....yet.
Freeplay didn't always have all those things. I've been playing since it came out in 2011 and it has come a long way. It was a lot like Sims 4, they updated a lot of the life stages in, pools, and floors and we just got basements in freeplay.
but that game has gone down hill, when they added death and I had to start harvesting sims souls to keep my main sim younger longer.
you can't really customize sims and they are starting to look terrible. and building is just horrible.
Weird tho Freeplay is doing better than the Sims 3 mobile app.
Sims 4 is way better IMO.
I started with Freeplay, then I got medieval, I was about to buy Sims 3 but then I decided to wait Get the Sims 4 since it was coming out.
My Mood:
That's a tough question, because Freeplay is mobile and not a computer game. Sims freeplay does seem to have a lot more than Sims 4, however it's still not equal to the Sims 4.
Sims 4 has been acting a lot like freeplay lately I've been watching since launch, a flat world, babies confined to their cradles, updating pools, basements, Ghosts, careers, weather, Life stages, and hobbies, and Freeplay has managed to expand the one world they have.
I would expect the Sims Studios and Maxis to somehow update/create a free pack to add Toddler's and maybe preteens into the Sims 4.
However everything the Sims Freeplay has was based of What Sims 3 had, but they put their own twist on things, and now that Sims 4 is here freeplay will probably start turning things around and start copying Sims 4.
Because when you ask "...do you think they will add everything that Freeplay has?" It's cringe worthy to picture Sims 4 becoming the Sims Freeplay.
I don't think The Sims 4 should do what Freeplay is doing 100%, I think they should update everything that Sims 4 was suppose to have and then some. and then Expansion/Game/Stuff packs that have these hobbies and more.
Honestly I wish it was there other way around I wish Freeplay would become more like Sims 4
My Mood:
...btw, how are babies not objects in The Sims Freeplay?
Actually babies are objects, they can't be picked up and moved around the house, they are also tied to the bassinet, but I think you can change their clothes which is pretty cool
To be fair I haven't actually played sims freeplay for years because I can't stand those types of money pit apps, but I'm kind of doubting any of that content is all too fleshed out.

Sims 2 animations, interactions, humour, charm, fears and wants, personalities.
Sims 3 open world and story progression(optional) both improved to work correctly and CASt.
And then the CAS and Build Mode(minus its limitations) improvements, like moving whole rooms and placing multiple windows etc, from Sims 4.
This is 100% what Sims 4 should have been. And this is now what I hope Sims 5 is.
The company and those who only play Freeplay (and don't play the Sims on console or on PC) are a disgrace to the Sims series and to the Sims community as a whole.
Freeplay needs to be burned, and thrown off a cliff.
Then in a conversation I had with Lyndsay in the Family game play thread, I brought up how freeplay had toddlers that can be bathed and toddler toys but the Sims 4 didn't have any of that and that made me sad. She replied that the freeplay developers had a longer time to put it together than they did so it has better content. Really? So that is what you all are going with? Yeah, okay.
It's funny you say that because that is exactly how I feel about Sims 4.
@dmel25 @Colton147147 Lol xD I kind of feel the same about BOTH games haha! I don't mean to offend anyone though.
@tiffrenee07 You can get it as a mobile app on iOS and Android platforms
@Alysha1988 Yes I agree, it is an EA money pit. It takes a lot of time to go anywhere or a lot of money to progress. However, I am just pointing out that aside that it is a mobile platform, the features included (in my opinion) are a lot more than what Sims 4 has to offer.
