The Sims FreePlay or The Sims FreePlay is a freemium - Life Simulation from The Sims -Spielserie for the mobile operating systems Android , iOS , Blackberry OS , Kindle Fire OS and Windows Phone OS.

Gameplay

As in the other games in the The Sims series, players can build and furnish houses and create and control their virtual character, the Sim, by assigning them commands. But the Sims also have desires and needs that the player must respond to. For the actions of the player, the Sim can receive different currencies such as Simoleons, LifeStyle Points, Social Points and collect experience points (XP). The player can take care of the design of work, relationships, purchases, family and leisure of the Sims.

Unlike in the main row, the game runs in real time and so the actions cannot be accelerated. In addition, all commands must be given by the player, as the Sim has no autonomous behavior.

In October 2018, the game was expanded to include an AR mode, which enables the player to use the mobile phone camera to display the playing area on an exposed surface.
