In Summer 2012, I purchased The Sims Freeplay for my iPod. I had never played a Sims game before so I decided to play the game. I thought the game was going to put me in a certain area and I get pre-made Sims to communicate with, but this wasn't the case with The Sims Freeplay. The game allowed you to create houses, build new areas, make new Sims, buy stuff for the house etc.
What I love about this game is actually everything! The fact that the game lets you do anything you want. They also release updates every season with new items and gimmicks with them. The game also offers you XP for completing challenges in the game or taking the Sims to work. The game also allows you to have relationships with the other Sims. It can be love, hate or just friendly to the Sims. In my opinion, I think that The Sims Freeplay is better than the other Sims games because it does not bring constant expansion packs as separate games, but they update the game itself and it brings a wealth of new content.
The only flaw is that unlike the Sims games, there is no multiple save file feature like Sims 3.
Other than that, it is an awesome life sim game and I definitely recommend the game.
