That’s a long time ago and the game has come very far.

But to be fair, FreePlay was created in 2011. Right off the bat, though, it’s clear the graphics are much better due to the Sims 4 influence. While you can take a look at the list of Sims Mobile features rumored so far here, there’s not much known about the exact differences between the two mobile games because barely anyone has played it yet. It will be interesting to see if Sims Mobile is as painful in that respect as Sims FreePlay is.

However, that’s the free to play formula. Like Sims FreePlay, Sims Mobile is in real time, which, based on forum reactions, appears to be a huge deterrent for a lot of Sims 4 players. There are some similarities between the two mobile games too, though. 'Sims Mobile' is a new mobile game based on 'The Sims' franchise. Just like The Sims 4, Mobile has a complex aging and a system of interactions with more depth. Sims Mobile reportedly has a body slider. The UI looks more like Sims 4 than FreePlay. For example, players don’t have many body type of facial feature options in FreePlay. The third key difference suggested in the trailers appears to be more detailed customization in a variety of aspects, Create-A-Sim in particular. Play directly with other players online and even start a relationship with another player's Sim. Another difference revealed so far is the multiplayer element. Sims Mobile is developed by Maxis and EA, the creators behind Sims 4, which is why the two games share assets. One key difference between the two games is Sims FreePlay is developed by Firemonkeys and EA. There’s also some brand new stuff, like creating and customizing a Sim in more detail, building houses, playing alongside friends, all with more focus on continuing your family’s legacy into multiple generations. The Sims Mobile is basically a combination of The Sims FreePlay and Sims 4.
