The Sims FreePlay is a strategic life simulation game developed by EA Mobile and later
with Firemonkeys Studios. It is a freemiumversion of The Sims for mobile devices and was released
worldwide on December 15, 2011 for iOS devices, on February 15, 2012 for Android, July 31, 2013
for BlackBerry 10 and September 12, 2013 for Windows Phone 8. The game made it to Kindle Fire in
October 2012. In the game, players build houses, control virtual people called Sims to satisfy their
needs and wishes, and let them complete different kinds of actions to gain "Simoleons", "LifeStyle
Points" (both of which are currencies in the game) and XP. Unlike other Simsgames, The Sims
FreePlay runs in real-time and takes real time to complete actions. All actions must be instructed by
players, unlike in the computer version, where Sims can have some degree of autonomy. Players
can currently progress through 55 levels to unlock new content and create up to 34 Sims. In the
game, only married sims can have children and there is a limit on the amount of allowable couples.
[citation needed]
due to a limit on the people in your town. However, if you buy things off of the online store,
you become a VIP that will allow you to increase the number of sims you have in your town. In the
game, there are main quests and discovery quests. Whereas regular quests are required, the
discovery quests are optional.

Currently there is an issue with the new update and Android users with a separate SD memory. The
error states you need to delete some data as not enough memory but it doesn't matter if everything
is deleted, a clean unit or moved spaces this error message still comes. Hopefully EA will sort this
error out as many users are missing out on this newest update, challenges and risk their Sims dying.

online store, and unlock the All Hands Monument, which is right next to the Science Lab. Players
