  • Quests Guide There are a number of quests available in The Sims FreePlay that unlock new content and features. You will need to have completed all of these quests in the order received to unlock the quests.
  • Parents need to know that The Sims FreePlay is 'freemium' app that is free to download and play, but offers players many opportunities to buy in-game content. Even without spending a dime, though, this is a full Sims game, complete with house-building, job hunting, and relationships.

New with the Cafe Culture update for The Sims FreePlay is the brand new Downtown Developer event. Here’s a guide on how to complete it. The Sims FreePlay‘s Cafe Culture update released this.

Gameplay[edit]

In The Sims FreePlay, players 'build' and design houses and customize and create (a maximum of 100) virtual people called Sims. Players can control their Sims to satisfy their wishes, and let them complete different kinds of actions to gain Simoleons, Lifestyle Points, and Social Points (all three currencies in the game). The game runs in real-time, and takes real time to complete actions.[3] All actions must be instructed by players, unlike in the Windows version, where Sims have some degree of autonomy. Players can progress through 55 levels to unlock content (such as furniture for the Sims’ houses) that can be purchased with the virtual currencies previously mentioned. Families of Sims can have children provided there is one adult; there is a limit on the amount of allowable couples[citation needed] due to a limit on the people in the player's town. However, if the player buys items from the online store, they become a VIP that will allow them to increase the number of Sims they can have in their town. In the game, there are 'quests' that players are required to complete as well as optional quests ('discovery quests') that they may choose to pursue. Sims must bake a cake to age until completion of a certain quota of discovery quests. There are three types of currency:

  • Simoleons - gained by completing actions (such as baking/cooking or gardening), or sending your Sims to work .
  • Lifestyle Points - gained by completing hobby collections and / or tasks
  • Social Points - gained by completing Social tasks (rewarded 1-2 social points for each).

This game has more detail than The Sims 4 or The Sims Mobile, but choices on Sim Customization can be limited (unless bought with real currency) and actions take real time to complete. These actions can take up to 3 days.

Updates[edit]

The game is regularly updated with new content,[4] and has many events and competitions announced at FreePlay's official Facebook page. Updates commonly include elements from various expansion packs and stuff packs from the main series.[citation needed]

As of April 2017, Windows Phones no longer receive updates from the game.[5]

In June 2018, pregnancy and baby showers were added to the game.[6] It was said that fans had requested the feature be added to the game ever since FreePlay[7] launched. Before this update, Sims had to marry for an option to be given to add a baby to the family.[8]

On October 15, 2018, augmented reality multiplayer was added.[9]

In July 2019, autosave function was available.[10]

Game Introduction – The Sims FreePlay

The Sims FreePlay is a life simulation game from Electronic Arts for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. The Sims have returned to the App Store, and you have to make sure they’re on the right path to having a successful life. Having control over lives may not be the easiest task, but with Gamezebo’s quick start guide, you’ll have all the tips, tricks and walkthroughs necessary to stay on top of things.

Quick Start Guide

Getting Started

  • To get started playing The Sims FreePlay,you’ll first need to download it by clicking the “Play Now” button at the top of this screen.
  • Once the game has finished downloading, you can find it on your home screen. Tap on the icon labeled The Sims FreePlay to start playing.
  • When you first arrive in your neighborhood, you’ll get a peek at your Sims’ house. Tap on the house to enter and start creating your first Sim.

Creating Your Sim

  • Creating your sim is very important because this is the same sim you will be using for your entire game. Luckily, you’ll be able to customize this sim however you please. Let’s go over how to do this.
  • On the main sim creation screen, we can set our sim’s name, gender, skin color and personality.
  • You can change your sim’s name by tapping on the name field. When you’re done changing the name, tap on the Done button.
  • Changing the gender is as easy as tapping on the Male or Female buttons. Keep in mind that certain clothing choices may be lost when switching between genders.
  • Skin color can also be changed just by tapping on the color you’d like your sim’s skin to be.
  • Personalities do spice things up a bit, and choosing the right one for your sim is important. Make sure you pick the personality that is just right for your sim, otherwise you may feel like starting over and scrapping all of your progress entirely.
  • Before we move on to changing how your sim looks, I’d like to point out that this main screen houses the Randomize button. This button will completely randomize your sim’s looks if you wish.
  • From the main tab, you have the hair, head and eye tab. Here, you can swipe and tap on different hair styles, head shapes and eye colors.
  • The third tab is dedicated to the tops, while the fourth and fifth tabs are dedicated to bottoms and shoes. I won’t go in depth with each of these tabs because they all function the same. You can swipe between selections of apparel and tap on it to place it on your sim.
  • If you’d rather just have your sim be clothed in a complete outfit right away, you can always head over to the last tab and tap on an outfit to change all of your sim’s clothes at once.
  • When you’re done with creating your sim, tap on the green checkmark at the bottom of the screen.

Playing With Sims

Play Sims Free Play On Computer

  • Upon finishing creating your sim, you should be taken to your sim’s house. Now, you might be wondering: How do I play with my sim? What am I suppose to do now? Let’s explain.
  • After a few seconds, you should receive a pop-up with a new goal for you to complete involving a stray dog that has wandered into your yard. This will give us an opportunity to have our first interaction.
  • Next to your sim should be a dog. Tap on this dog to bring up the interaction menu, where you can choose various actions to do with the dog.
  • Actions in The Sims FreePlay can take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours to complete, so make sure that you plan things ahead accordingly before choosing an action.
  • For now, let’s Shake Hands with the dog by tapping on that action. Your sim should now perform the action and receive a Lifetime Point for doing so.
  • Now the dog should start digging. When you see the shovel icon appear above its head, tap on it to have your sim dig up whatever the dog found.
  • By now, your sim should be in bad need of relief, and you’ll need to buy a toilet for them. Tap on the Buy button located in the bottom right corner to be taken to the in-game store. Here, you can buy anything and place it in your sim’s house. For now though, we just need to look at toilets.
Free
  • As we are just starting out in the game, we should choose the cheapest toilet available. After you select to purchase it, you’ll be taken into placement mode.
  • In placement mode, you can move the toilet around anywhere by tapping on anywhere in the house. You’ll probably want to place it in the bathroom, and then tap on the green checkmark to place it down permanently.
  • Now, the sim can use the toilet. Tap on it just as you did with the dog, and make your sim use it for relief.
  • A quest completed popup should appear, rewarding you with a few simoleons and XP. Quests should appear regularly in the game. You can always check what your active quest is at any time by looking at the text displayed near the bottom of the screen.

Your Sim’s Mood

  • For every action you do in the game, you will be given XP and simoleons for doing so. The amount you receive however can depend on what kind of mood your sim is in when you perform the action.
  • To make sure your sim is always in the best mood, pay attention to the different meters located at the bottom of the screen. These meters show how hungry your sim is, how full their bladder is, how tired they are, how dirty they are, how social they are, and how clean the house is.
  • In order to make sure that you are receiving the maximum amount of XP and simoleons, you need to have most of these mood meters be green. Let’s go over a few examples of how to raise your sim’s mood.
  • If your sim is hungry, you can tap on the fridge to have the sim make a snack or meal. If your sim is tired, they should go to sleep in their bed. If they need social interaction, they should call up a friend or visit one.
  • A good rule of thumb for moods is common sense. If it would make sense in real life, it probably makes sense in The Sims FreePlay.

Congratulations!
