Comments on The Sims™ FreePlay for Android

★★★★☆ Ciara Wyatt · Oct 26, 2026
Amazing but could use better hairs outfits and makeup styles for the woman and better male hairs and cheaper houses because I ain't spending $1,000 on a horrible looking place make it worth it's money and cheapers ones for when u first start the game
★★★★★ ItzTocaJJ · Aug 29, 2026
It's a good app I love it, but I wish I could play sim 4 on my iPad, but I do recommend this app is you want to play it✨💕
★★★★★ Makeia Merriweather · Apr 24, 2026
One of the best Sims game apps Ever. I've been playing for years, and I highly recommend it. They've added more to the game since I first started playing.
★☆☆☆☆ Kiki Lee · Jun 23, 2026
The game will Not download! I really love playing sims and really want to play please and no I'm not talking about installing the game, I'm talking about when I click on the game, and it asks you if you want to use Wi-Fi or Cellular, I tried both, error, I deleted a lot of old photos, games, files, ECT to free up space and when I did have free space still wouldn't download. Please help!!
★★☆☆☆ Ms G · Oct 30, 2026
This game has changed for the worse, now it tries to force you to download games that you don't want, if you watch an ad to finish a task faster, it will not go away even if you do download the game.
★★☆☆☆ Sarah · Aug 29, 2026
I loved this game until the recent update 😔 All my inventory gone when I move something to my inventory it disappears. Horrible makes me not want to play this game anymore
★★☆☆☆ Will Spray · Nov 3, 2026
CRASHES!!! This game is so frustrating. Every couple of months it will crash for a few days straight. Makes my phone incredibly hot. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared cache, and still crashes. Not to mention the incredibly difficult tasks that require you to play almost around the clock to finish within the deadlines. It's nice to hit the C farms and build with your simleons, but so much stuff is locked behind events, tasks, etc. I've reached my limit with this game.
