Will The Sims Mobile split up The Sims' fan base?

Yes, you need Origin to register your product codes and download Sims 3 but you don't actually need it to play. You can just launch the game from within your Applications folder and Origin won't open. Unlike Sims 4 which will only run through Origin (but you can still launch it from your Applications folder, Origin will automatically open).

Just from what I have read so far the new mobile game will push and require more transactions than Sims Free Play. And I suspect you will see many more ads once final product is fully launched. Just my opinion but mark it down.

The Sims Mobile is also getting hit with this because of the fact the game will be free and have microtransactions causing players to see TSM as a watered-down version of The Sims 4, possibly splitting the fanbase between The Sims 4 and The Sims Mobile. Simmers are divided between those who think TSM is a good Sims game and those who think the game is inferior to TS4.
But the Sims Freeplay and the Sims Mobile are much more quest oriented games. Just with the difference that Freeplay is a relaxed slow developing game (with tasks that takes many minutes or even hours) while Mobile is a fast paced game where you have fewer sims but has to give them orders all the time because most tasks only takes something like 10 to 30 seconds. Therefore the games appeal to very different types of gamers or simmers. But we all have different preferences
But yeah nothing compares to the PC version and I'm sure EA knows that.
For EA the PC game is targeted primarily at young teens who like to buy new expansions very often and mostly cheap SPs. So there we agree
It is a different type of Sims game and not for me. But it may still be able to appeal to the same type of people who love games like Cooking Fever of Supermarket Mania. The Sims Mobile needs more obvious consequences of what we choose in the timed events (often just 5 minutes) though. But that can still be adjusted.
