SO WE WERE ACTUALLY CORRECT?

So they WERE working on a mobile game all this time? No wonder all those limited-time events and all these 'real-time' stuff. Wow xD

Makes me curious, will The Sims 5 exist if the app becomes really successful?

    This isn't like The Sims 3 mobile but rather another clone of The Sims Freeplay. In fact it may be olympus. If you notice, it's theme kind of like the one of olympus. It also has those blue plumbobs which appeared plenty of times in previous olympus teasers. Here is another exclusive trailer:

    Yes, it will be a game designed for phones and tablets.

    It looks so similar to the sims 4 like I had to look again to see that it wasn't.

    When you say 'free to play' does that mean that it is free? ;)

    Why would you want the game to fail when some players might actually be interested in it?

    I don't even know what I'm looking at. Has this been announced today?

    Is that not what they do with every new game though? Reuse stuff from an old game but revamp them and upgrade them?

    Soo, instead of creating more expansion pack that could have already been made for the sims 4, they create this ! :/ They should have upgraded the Sims 4 first than introduced this mobile thing. :#:/

    Sims mobile is done elsewhere - last I heard it is done in the Salt Lake City studios and has mobile teams - has nothing to do with the Sims games we play. So it shouldn't matter to us at all.

    I'm looking forward to this version. As someone who is disabled I am sometimes bound to my bed and this would let me still play the game I love so much. And I love micro purchasing lets me be blind to how much i spend on games lol.

    I cannot wait! I just watched the trailer. It looks like a mix of Sims Freeplay and Sims 4 :love:

    It is business, it was bound to happen being Smartphones and tablets has evolved very fast today and they can do more on them. I am not really a fan of playing games on mobile devices but looking at the new app it looks kind of fun and willing to give it a chance. When a business gives you info you have to read between the lines.

    If they took everything from TS4 then... does that mean we're about to have a fancier family tree and sewing machines? (in the next GP?)

    I have no idea how people can find that fun. I'd like to play a game for hours straight without being prompted to pay.

    Of course, F2P games are designed to be psychologically addictive, but I'd rather not fall into that trap.

    I've succumbed to buying things for mobile games in the past. It's a cringey thought when you dawn on the memories.
    You can bet your bottom dollar I'm not repeating that should I ever bother with this game on my phone.

    Thank you but no thank you. I played Sims Freeplay on my cellphone. The format was too hard for my old eyes. I'll stay with TS4 on my PC.
