Reset my sims game

I reset my sims game bc everything has gotten so expensive and it’s impossible to make so much money in time. EVERYTHING was like a million simoleons. Also I could only make new sims every other level instead of every level and I had more characters I really wanted to make, but it was taking forever bc EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE AND ITS SO HARD TO MAKE MONEY

so yeah I reset everything and it feels so good to just have a fresh new start

A rant

I've made a couple of posts on this subreddit wherein I list some possible update ideas for the players and sims freeplay team to consider.

Though i'm sure members of the sims freeplay team don't actively spend their time on Reddit, I still feel like I have to address this issue in the hopes that someone will see it and the game can still be saved (not to be too dramatic).

For many years players such as myself have dedicated so much of their time and energy to this game and even showed acceptance towards to rise in in-game prices. Although it could be difficult at times, we also knew that as long as we regularly checked into the game, there was a chance of winning the grand prize in events.

However, EA decided to change their game to fit the same boring, money-sucking, and borderline predatory model that every other game has implemented lately. Instead of players having a clear goal and focus, their main focus now becomes using their own real money to access the premium season pass so that they can have a chance of winning the "good" prizes.

Everyone else who can't afford the premium pass will be forced to see other players unlocking the cool items, while they have to make do with common items that we could have also received outside of seasonal events. Whereas in the past, grand items were available to anyone who was willing to put enough time into playing the game. Now, unless you have money, why even bother?

I never understodd why game companies do this because it's simply a clear sign to their fanbase that they only value money. And though we all knew this about EA, this just seems like a new low.

It's especially sad in the context of the upcoming event, as I have been looking forward to a medieval/knight inspired update.

Every other update idea we have shared on this subreddit have been implemented and placed behind a paywall. Everything becomes about money. As if EA doesn't already have enough of it. Way to ruin your own game. Over and over again.

Mystery boxes

I think it’s crazy that they have made it so you have to spend sp for some mystery boxes. It’s not like you have a better chance at the best prize if you use them instead of keys. When I first started the game I used to buy them but I never got the good prizes haha now I have so many keys just sitting there.

Does “FreePlay” mean anything anymore? Jesus Christ…

I commented on my previous post and said how I don’t want to quit playing bc I’ve been playing on and off for like 13 years but they’re making shit impossible… like it’s to the point where people that use TPs still somehow have to use real money, just paywall after paywall after paywall.
IM TIRED OF THIS GRANDPA!-🫩

New lot

I absolutely LOVE this new lot. It is absolutely stunning! I'm so glad I decided to save up all of my lp's! I save all of my currency, I used to pay for things in the game (hence why I'm level 15 VIP), But I started just saving everything instead of buying stuff and I'm so glad. This lot looks like Greece

My Black Tie Wedding

Luis and Kelly’s wedding was a black tie event!

If only I could get more sims into each lot to fill empty seats 🥲

Idk why, but “panic over time” is such a funny action to me

Like, WHAT DO YOU MEAN they just run around, stop, gasp, then continue running, only to stop and gasp for NEARLY 3 WHOLE HOURS STRAIGHT??? That shit’s hilarious!

Out of curiosity did anyone transition to this game from Sims 4?

Out of curiosity did anyone transition to this game from Sims 4? Because I did, and I feel like I enjoy it more than others on the thread. A lot of the tweaks that are desired in this game are in Sims4 regarding the interactions and making Sims look more unique.

I’m also used to paying for certain things to further enjoy my game, I know that is their MO and I accept it.

I played Sims4 since it was released but got tired of playing on my laptop after my toddler went to bed. So I transitioned to this game and was so elated to play it on my iPad! If this game feels less busy and empty give Sims4 a try and maybe it will scratch that itch.

But if you played other Sims games, do you enjoy this version more or less?

Is this a normal build for the Sims team?

So did anyone see the new Eclipse house in the specials section? Is it just me or is it kinda weird? I have been on a 7 year break from the game tho so I dunno if the team has released anything like this before.

Vent/Info: The houses unlocked by upgrading the Real Estate Agency do NOT affect the town value

This is a vent, so I don’t need advice, but I was so frustrated about this yesterday, and I thought others might experience this as well, so I wanted to share.

Also, I‘m aware, this is just me whining about total first world SFP problems, and I probably sound so annoying, but I was just really frustrated and need to get this off my chest. If you read this, pretend it’s my diary entry for the day. 🤪

As you can see, I‘m currently at level 72, and one of my level-up-requirements is to improve my town’s value.

Years ago, I found and used a multiplication glitch that gave me 65k copies of every item I used the glitch on; unfortunately, this glitch has long since been patched. Since then, I just sell thousands of these items, of which I still have so many in my inventory, to make money in the game, so I can build as many houses as I want, participate in all events, and enjoy the game fully. I‘m so grateful that I found this glitch, even only weeks before it was patched, and that I was clever enough to use it on as many items as I possibly could.

However, every item I sell reduces my town value in the exact same amount. I do not understand how that correlates, but I accepted it. If it weren’t for this b, my town value would probably be hundreds of millions (if it could go there?), with the amount I build. Again, I accepted it, and it usually only becomes an issue when tasks like this occur.

Even though I already checked all town value levels at least once, since my current town value is usually around 0 to 10 million Simoleons, this task re-occurs whenever new levels are added to the game. But since I had already checked every town value level, I can’t get the rewards, and I know from experience that I can only check this task by improving my town value to 100 million Simoleons.

I can complete this task by building, looting and trashing all the houses I‘ve won in events or bought as AHs. I absolutely prefer to build my own houses and really only use AHs or event houses for this purpose; looting, and in case I have to improve my town value. So I have been preparing and „saving“ since the last time I had this task, and I‘m completely fine, I can do it, no problem. It’s just a little time intensive, but I can manage.

This is where my frustration kicked it: When I walked through all the houses I could build, loot and trash, I saw that the two houses I already unlocked by upgrading the Real Estate Agency - the Zen Oasis and Rosewater Mansion - added a town value of about 20 million each! I was so elated that I could use them and 1) save some time, and 2) save more of the other houses for later, when this task might come back (to haunt me). So first, last night, I built all my saved up AHs for Standard lots, and accumulated a town value of 32 million Simoleon - that alone were 19 houses and took me more than two hours, using the 10-second-lot (while doing the events and household stuff). 💪🏻 It was late and I wanted to go to bed, so I decided to switch to building the oceanview lots of these two unlocked houses, to „quickly“ add 41 million Simoleon to my town value, so that I would only have to build another few oceanview lots tomorrow (today). I was so happy and eager to see my town value jump from 32 million to 53 million in just a few seconds by building the Zen Oasis, and was completely shocked when that didn’t happen. At first I thought I must be too tired and not understanding, I closed the app and re-opened, but the number. stayed. the. same. It was my fault to be so happy and eager in anticipation, bc I felt an enormous emotional crash. I know, I know, way too much intensity and investment for a silly little game, but still. So, instead of crashing out, I decided to finish for the day and try again tomorrow (today).

It didn’t change, and it was the same result after building the Rosewater Mansion. After that, I tried building an event house, and that finally - luckily - worked. So I will be able to reach the goal and complete the task. I have absolutely no worries about that. Just so much frustration over being promised an added town value of 41 million Simoleon, and getting absolutely nothing (except for the items I looted from the houses).

Thank you, if you read this far.

TL;DR: cheating has drawbacks, and I‘m whining about it. 🫠

Can't see my houses.

Hi everyone.

I am stuck right now. Around half of the houses in my inventory, don't correctly show an image of the actual house.

I have to guess which house it is.

I can easily spend 15 minutes, doing the previews, to find a house I thought I had, but ended up not having.

It's quite annoying.

I have cleaned the game's cache, turned the phone off and on, switched from WiFi to 5G, etc etc.

Does anyone else have this issue at all? Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance 🙂
