IS FREEPLAY BETTER THAN SIMS 4? SIMS 4 VS SIMS FREEPLAY COMPARED

- Sims Freeplay has gotten a lot of attention with features, like freed babies, hobbies, and preteens--things sims 4 doesn't have....but does that mean it's better than sims 4? As people long for an update for babies in the sims 4, and a long sims 4 wishlist including preteens, bunkbeds, hobbies, pets like horses, and better weddings, many wonder why we rely on sims 4 mods and cc when some of these features are in sims freeplay. In this video, I'll look at sims 4 vs sims freeplay compared, see how different features would be ranked, and see what's behind the seemingly better received announcement(s) for freeplay vs sims 4. If you like this video be sure to let me know and I'd consider doing more investigation of freeplay build, gameplay and more, as well as comparison videos such as sims 2 vs sims 3 vs sims 4.
And as always, be sure to stay tuned for news on sims 4 updates, new dlc, announcement, trailers, releases, leaks and more. I also cover paralives news and info.

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING! I made a mistake; a later update means you no longer have to be married to have a baby! There are many things I didn't mention--I'd love to take an even deeper dive after seeing these trailers. In Freeplay you can also get dragons and fairies as well as pigs under the 'pets' category for instance. Very interesting. Let me know if you want more or even looking at sims mobile, etc. This took me a long while actually but I enjoyed it
There are also ducks and xylephone as another music item for babies! And interactable careers before get to work even came out
I knew about for babies but wow yeah there are a lot of features!
Thanks
I really want a grocery store in the Sims 4
I've been playing freeplay since its inception & I prefer the sims 4, I have spent way more money on freeplay than all the sims 4 expansion packs combined. Obviously that's a personal choice driven by the fact that I didn't have a computer to play the actual sims on. While it does have some features that would be amazing if applied to the sims 4, you're restricted much more, especially in build mode & character mode. There is only one body type & fewer skin colors. most items can't overlap in build mode. Oh another annoying thing, all the money you have is used for all households not just one. sorry abt the rant, but in my personal opinion, sims 4 is much more desirable.
When I was younger and didn’t have a computer, I played sims freeplay. I hated having to wait for actions to get done, and I didn’t like the quest system. I was soooo happy when I got Sims 4.
Oh my god same. It was so annoying, waiting a literal day for them to finish shouting on a cardboard box in the park for one quest, then around twelve hours for the next thing. Like you really don't know who your audience is, do you? Small kids don't want to wait that long for something in a game. That app was reeeally bad.
Oh hell no. Hated the quest in both the Sims free play and the Sims mobile.
Omg same. This game is overrated
Calm Before The Storm for sure
I wouldn't be into the quests either. I know it's personal preference but not for me
the sims freeplay: oh you wanna eat this piece of bread? OK, wait 12 hours 💖✨
Ha yeah that sounds miserable
It's Not That Long
tꪖrꫀꪀᥴiꪖ _.x yeeeaaah, it' just 12 hours 😻😻
@Dosoaoao Oaowkwjw As a builder in the game,I really agree that the game is very fun if we were rich until those millions of simoleons ran out in a week or two...😅
Also The Sims Freeplay: Let's hug before you leave! FOR THE WHOLE FREAKING DAY
Sims Freeplay has some cool features, but the fact that it took so long to do anything (without spending money) made me delete it.
Yes I bet
Agreed
@@lilyfraser4813 where did you get it from?
Honestly sims freeplay is really fun with mods and stuff :P
Thats why i have a moded version of the app. Unlimited money so i can actually play it for hours on end lol
Sims freeplay has a special place in my heart, when I hadn't even heard of sims 4 and could only play free games. It was my life!
I played it for like 2yrs then I lost all my progress 😔 but it hit different until you're broke
It was the first Sims game I’ve ever played. I will always love it too but she got too expensive
@@msgabbi1000 I found a cheat to get unlimited simoleons. Worked really well!
Bethany Willshire WHAAAAAT I have to get that lol! How’d you figure that?
@@bettywillshire708 wait girl how...I'm trying to get back cause the sims 4 be buggin
Finally someone brings up the fact that is no kids they just replaced name with pre teen it isn't actually a new life stage you don't know how many times I have commented this.
I think it's important ! people see preteen and get angry but they are mostly just basic kids
I didn’t know Sims freeplay had so many features lol. It was a blast before I bought the sims 4.
Going back I was shocked remembering I had to wait 10 minutes to bake a cake.
Oh gosh that must have taken so much patience!
Didn’t it take like 24 hours to make a birthday cake cause I remember that for when I wanted to age up a sim and it suckeddddd
Karina Gullon right now I’m still waiting for a birthday cake for my toddler to be a preteen
@@supremecampbell6334 you know you can download a sims freeplay with unlimited gems,money etc but you have to have an android
It's 24 hours, not 10 minutes
Honestly even though it isn’t completely flushed out - it is pretty annoying that this free mobile game has features that us players that pay for the game have been begging for.
But also don’t forget that this mobile game has been out since 2011 which makes it nine years old...
Tae’Lyn Omari but also don’t forget that sims 4 was started in 2008 which means they had 12 years to add the stuff in 😊
Trust me sims 4 way of doing thing is way better than how this game works, I played it for years.
I get that. I will say, it's just so very different . I thinkt it;s much easier to program and takes less budget so that is important to take into consideration. However, many of these features should nonetheless be in 4
@Maliha Rahman wait the sims freeplay has expansions?
I’ve played the sims freeplay. I remember in the beginning we weren’t able to do much with the babies until they gave an update to them. I love the sims 4 and really hope they do a baby overhaul as well.
I do think it's possible! Just not sure when it'll come
You can use free mods
@@SimmerErin today
I’m just gonna say it the sims free play also has cars
It has a lot of things yes. I see why people look at it but in some ways it seems it mostly has things 2 and 3 had
@@SimmerErin I still don't get how 2-3 gets a car but it gets removed in 4 and 4 is suppose to be the superior version but yeah I don't get how sims 4 became a downgrade in terms of features in the game
I wish there was a way to combine the best of both, but I guess that's too much to ask.
Maybe for sims 5? It's hard because these are very different games in a lot of ways
We can always hope for paralives
@@grayfox6930 it's goona cost money too 😌😭
@@they_luv_cas u dont know right
@@grayfox6930 ouuu I'm too broke for that😭😭😭😭
It’s very grindy, it’s like a remastered version of the sims social, You get one world and you have to pay if you want to progress quickly, it takes so long to complete a quest or anything, you can’t stack interactions, no money cheats, No open world (Same in sims 4), No community lot type, you have to unlock that
Has so many features or sims 3 however, bunk beds, horses and other small pets, Hundreds of micro transactions, Stag dos and Hen dos stuff like that
It feels as if the sims social and the sims 3 make a mobile game.
@Artoria Pendragon same
For as long as I played, I spent vary little money.
Larry Iaquinta Yea you don’t need to to progress per say, but it’s very slow otherwise
Oh yeah that seems like a fair analogy. It does seem it would take a long time to progress in this game
there are no money cheats per say but i’ve been playing the hacked version (download the hacked infinite money version, save it on my fb acc, delete the hacked version and download the normal one then enter my fb acc there and boom so much money), u do have to redo it every couple of months or year (in my case bc i build a lot so i spend a lot of money, if u don’t then it’s not frequent at all), so it still an option! obviously tho not nearly as good as ts4 but that shouldn’t even be a question
Freeplay takes so long to do simple things. Some actions takes days. And the money your sims collect are not per household. The money one person has, every other sim has too.
I would not have the patience!
@@SimmerErinI bear patience for Sims Freeplay just because I want to be able to see my Sims got pregnant and have a baby of their own, instead of basically having express Adopted baby
For me..sims freeplay was the very first sims game I played back when I was about 7 or 8 (am 15 now btw) at first I do admit it was a struggle to get the quests done and especially getting it done within the time limit to get the special prizes. Along the years I found the hacked version that gives you unlimited simoleons, sp and lp. And I was able to play out the game till the last quest. Some years past and the game had multiple things to add...police stations new side quests, pregnancies(my mom would have flipped if that was in the game long ago)and many other stuff like events and stuff. Yes I understand the graphics are a bit wonky and I do admit one thing that upset me was u can only have one skill at a time.. but later..I really liked the way the game was for mobile. Personally for me if u do have the hacked version (yes....on the internet) I feel like you can enjoy the game in its full glory. I only stopped playing because if it crashed I would lose all my progress because I didn't back it up to the cloud...other than that I think it was amazing through its years and I am aware they have got more things now...so I would reccomend this over sims 4 for _new_ players..(jus my opinion)
kkplaza LTD how do you get the hacked version? What’s it called
Yes it sounds like it's had some very substantial updates over the years. I think it just depends on what you are looking for as it;s a very different game model.
@@6ibi you can get hacked version from Happymod. I have it now but it takes a LOT of space.
@@6ibi you can find it at android 1 :)
@@nooropiaa2253 yes I got mine from here!
Say it with me. BABIES. ARE. NOT. OBJECTS. 👶🏽
Right now they are lol
At least not in freeplay, ironically
@@greenliongirl07 yeah
And they have cars
I came from sims Freeplay to sims 4 and was completely disappointed 😂 I miss the private island lot, the house boats, the snow Chalet, the spiral stairs, the challenge....
It's certainly a very different kind of game. I think if you like freeplay you may not like 4 and vise versa
for sims freeplay, the one thing that aggravates me is how long the quests can take. like reading a specific book can take a whole day. i love the interactions, hobbies, and other things. babies actually aren’t just objects and are pretty fun. it’s a pretty fun game besides the long quests!
I bet that would take a lot of patience!
I would say that freeplay has a majority of the content that the sims 4 lacks, minus the graphics and operating on real-time. I really loved freeplay once it dropped and still play it to this day occasionally, but for heaven sake do I despise the waiting times. Great video Erin!
I would hate those waiting times. And thank you!
Just use one of the modded APK's, no wait times with unlimited simoleons and lp, you even get VIP 15 so it's a win-win for me.
In Sims freeplay you can send a baby alone to the park... So Sims freeplay win
Bruh they can’t even do anything so why do you care at the park yeah they. Can be there and do what ? Crawl around
You can lol? That's very....interesting
@@TryingtoreachsubswithNovideos you can finish the first mission which is "send a sim to the park" when all of your adult Sims are busy
A random watcher they still can’t do nothing there ☠️
I will sub to you because what you said was pretty funny to me
Omg sims free play was my life as a 9 year old. It takes 24 hours to make a cake. I don’t know if this has changed, but your sims made more money from going to school than being a teacher. It was ridiculous
24 hours my goodness that is crazy!
Simmer Erin good ole times. Lol
This video brought back so many memories, I remember getting so angry every time the quest was 24 hours or more. I was so proud of myself when I was younger for finishing every main quest on the proper app. I also downloaded a second version afterwards, which was like a dodgy one so I’d have unlimited stuff. I had wanted the sims 4 so badly: and not having to worry about the time was close enough. About a year later I downloaded the same dodgy app onto my Dads old phone and broke it hahaha. That game has a special place in my heart.
Ha! Well I guess at least it brought back some memories for you
There's definitely trade-offs happening here. While you do get a lot of great features with Freeplay, you don't get a lot of the things the Sims 4 excels at: Build/Buy, better graphics, in-depth CAS, better worlds. There's a lot that Sims 4 can improve upon. But the issue is time and money; how much time are devs given to make the game/features and how much is the budget. I mention this because I know that a lot of people are wondering why Freeplay has features that we've been wanting for a while in the Sims 4. The biggest improvement that can be made in future Sims games is EA just giving the development/testing process more time.
Yes exactly. It's about what you want in a game; for me mobile never appeals. I think the issue here is while there are great items freeplay doesn't offer what people complain about most for sims 4, which is normally depth and personality
Seeing the sims freeplay after only playing it back in 2011-2013 is like a fever dream. Freeplay had basically none of the features you mentioned until later on. they did add babies and pets at some point when i played but it was definitely near the end of me playing. I only had one family have a baby because at that time im fairly certain they were very expensive to get. Btw the whole wedding feature must have came after babies because i have no memory of having a wedding like in those clips shown. I know you could propose but i think weddings were just an interaction not an event. but i was young then so my memory could be deceiving me
No you're likely right. A lot of these were more recent updates. Of course trailers like the wedding one can also be a little deceiving too
i have both sims freeplay & sims 4 . i feel both have pros & cons and hopefully in the feature they can combine some features together in whole glorious game
They do, but hmm not sure how they'd be one game? One is simply a very different style of play
I’ve been playing Sims FreePlay for at least 5-6 years, and have had to restart it 3 times on different devices. It’s incredibly frustrating to play unless you have a lot of money and/or are at a high level. I got Sims 4 about a year ago and love the fact that my sims don’t look like literal potatoes anymore :)
Great video by the way!
Lol yes of course the graphics are better. And yikes that sounds frustrating!
It's not "better" I have to admit when magic wasn't in the sims 4 I sometimes played with freeplay!! But the problem is the length:some actions take days to finish so it is impossible to finish the quests!
But I recognize that sils freeplay has a lot of things but that's because the game is out since 2011 so like 3 years before the sims 4 and also a mobile game is easier to update and programm/code than PC games!
The sims freeplay needs too much patience (I was really advanced in the game when I decided to stop it)
Yeah I seriously would not love the time, and you'd have to have tons of patience. I think that's part of it, and also it's far less advanced and much easier to program too
I wish changing the time could work... if they chsnge that ill go play
True. It hurts to be very patient with completing the Quests. Lol
@@humanbeing3946 I can be very patienr with mobile games but no not the one that where I have to be waiting there and if I miss some momentum I kinda loose what I was playing for
Oh yes I would spend hoursss playing freeplay, I honestly enjoy it more than the Sims 4. I found a cheat that actually worked and gave me millions of everything so that definitely helped. (oopsies)
Oh nice lol!! I don't think I'd have the patience, but different games for everyone!
What's the cheat?
@@johntmasseyjr just search on google sims freeplay mod apk
Don’t forget that every time you buy a lot or workplace or store it doubles the amount of simoleons you have to pay for it. It’s doable in the beginning but at some point you end up having to pay like 1,5 mil to build a new lot
I mean my biggest downside to sims free play is that I have to pay for things and it take too long to play. I think that the sims 4 could use some improved babies and pre teens.
Yeah I wouldn't like that. I think 4 could use improved babies. At this point im not for preteens because teens and kids themselves seem underdevloped but I know preteens are a popular request
Simmer Erin I get what you mean about pre-teens. They are really not that essential unless the sims 4 suddenly beside to improve story progression. Because let’s face it story progression in the sims totally sucks. I mean even the family tree doesn’t make much sense, family members are poorly traceable. And don’t even get me started on those babies.
I love playing FreePlay personally but I don’t like that my sims don’t have Personalities. Also I don’t like that my houses when I build have don’t have different shaped rooms
Yeah in fairness to it I don't expect nuanced personalities, but that def is a downside!
Bunk beds are defo coming to sims 4, I saw a thought bubble of a bunk bed when I was playing the other day!
It's possible although people saw that a long while back, and for other things as well. Hard to say. Of course we do have ladders now...
Once I was playing the sims free play and I was waiting for my sim to plant some seeds and I mentioned and my aunt was like you like sims? And low and behold april 2015 I receive the sims 4 for my birthday
Aw that's so sweet
I'm happy for you. Your aunt may liked playing Sims when she was younger, maybe
as a college student sfp is so nice because I send my sims to work during the day and am not tempted to check the game during class lol. But some of the quests like live events and simchase are too time consuming.
Ok I could see that. I think it isn't the game for me, but I understand that working lol. As a part time professor I will say good for you; ha I know how many students tend to try to game anyway!
I remember playing sims freeplay when i was in highschool and its really fun. I agree that the wait time is a hassel but the thing about that annoyed me the most is the absurd prices. Its hard to do anything new when building a house or new locations would cost me like 4 million and that value increases with each building. Its fun but at a certain point I think you would get stuck unless you grind for money.
I imagine it must get expensive quickly
@@SimmerErinit is. I started playing Freeplay and the price of empty lot was only 4,500 simoleans dollar. Then after a week, the price increased to 24,500. Is that a threefold or 4 folds price hike?
I just want freeplau to improve the face customization I'm tired mistaking my sims because of their same faces!
I bet! doesn't look like there are many options
Well there are at least 5 different faces to play with so if you don’t want them looking the same change the face or add makeup change the skin tone.
@@axngel2703 still not enough
@@kermitishot6061 ok well these developers have spent millions of dollars on this mobile game for ungrateful players like you to criticize them like this. If there isn’t enough faces GET OFF THE FREAKING APP AND DOWNLOAD SIMS MOBILE. STOP SITTING HERE COMPLAINING.
@@axngel2703 YES FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS
this video was SO nice and necessary! thank you! id love to see you make another one about the other mobile game they have and the comparisons between them 3... also a video about project castway, that a brazilian is developing. i can help you with the translation, if you want me to
Thanks! Oh I think that could be really interesting for sure. As far as the castaway project, I honestly don't understand. Is it going to be a real game
I play but I do wish there was a free play mode were you could cheat and build
Ikr
that would take the whole point of the game away, you're meant to get impatient and buy lifestyle points :/
Yeah it feels it simply isn't a sandbox like game
tbh i would even pay for mode where everything is unlocked and there is that damn time forward option...
@@ssohannah theres a mod thats completely free and safe that gives you unlimited money on sims freeplay, reply if you want it and tell me if you have an android or iphone
They're getting better but here's some of the things that players like me aren't satisfied about : SimChase & live events
SimChase are time consuming & it's very hard to play unless you set an alarm for each tasks & you're really rich that you've can skip an episode for that day.
Live events are quite frustrating to me. They're too much items for us to collect if we want to purchase a pack. The spin is the worst! You can expect that you'll get only a constructor coin for 450 candles...
I still play the game though
Thanks for sharing!! I am interested to see what people like and don't aboit the game. I could see those being frustrating issues!
this vid just brought me back like 7 years. i played this when we got our first family ipad n i remember being so mad when they patched the time thing bc id change my ipad time to speed stuff up lmao
Well a trip down nostalgia if nothing else lol
Sims Freeplay now has L shaped rooms (must complete event)
The thing we need are muscularity, weight and community created items that can be bought on specials (buy it with social points).
oh interesting you have to buy those things
Simmer Erin I bought the event and it was worth it
Omgggg I loved the sims free play! One of my favourite features was boat homes and I loved doing quests to unlock cool things like the magic Tower and unlocking different islands
I did see about the islands when I was reading about horses. Sounds fun
The animations are so amazing and lively here!
The animations themselves are better than I expected for sure
If The Sims Freeplay’s task didn’t take an entire DAY to complete.. boy oh boy this game will be light years ahead of The Sims 4!!
This was the first ever Sims game I’ve played for several years as a child and
while I definitely had a blast with it, I think the quests/objectives in this game have gone way beyond insane. You used to have more freedom with what you can do in the game back in its early days.. wanna build a swimming centre? Sure! Now? Oh you need to complete this quest first! Everything is locked behind quests that take way too long to complete, it’s just one of EA’s cash grabby tactics of making you buy LifeStyle points to speed things up, THEY KNOW WE HATE WAITING.
Now that I’ve started playing The Sims 4 and The Sims 3 as I got my own money, there is NO way I’m looking back to that game! When I first found out that could SPEED UP time in a Sims game, I ALMOST CRIED 😭
PS. I miss Sunset Mall in The Sims FreePlay. That’s literally the only Sims game with a MALL you could explore in! Why can’t we have that in The Sims 4 😭
I have played sims FreePlay it’s quit decent but the characters faces tho… and their body type I know the creators probably quite working on sims FreePlay but if a developer is seeing this which I doubt it but please PLEASE IM BEGGING FIX THOESE DEMON FACES HOW WILL LITTLE KIDS SLEEP AFTER SEEING THAT MATE 💀😭-
I personally really like doing quests in Sims Freeplay. I think it would be great if I could have quests on Sims 4 too. However I hate the excessive waiting times
I would too. Ha. Idk, I think it's juts a very different game, for different play styles
10:42 That's just for the quests. You have to complete your active quest to move on to the next, and the marriage quest is right before the baby quest. However, after you complete both quests, your unmarried sims can have babies. Three of my unmarried couples were able to have kids.
I made this video a long while ago, but see my pinned comment.
the sims freeplay had toddlers before the sims 4 and thats all you need to know
That's a little sad. On one hand, it is far more simple to program this game but on the other idk why sims 4 didn't have toddlers to begin with
I used to play sims free play A LOT before I had the money to get sims 4 and there were definitely things that I don’t like looking back after having played sims 4. I now really don’t have the time for “real time” interactions and progression in that game (for example sleeping takes hours in real time and you can’t speed up the game) you kind of have to be addicted to it and play it all the time to get progression. And if you leave your game for a few days then all your sims needs will be in the red (again, real time) and then you have to spend time getting it all back to normal. But if you wait a few weeks before coming back to your game you get rewarded with simoleons and all your sims needs are full. Another thing is that a lot of the quests are time sensitive and you have something like a week before time runs out, or if it is an important quest to get something like a life stage, you lose the bonus prize but can finish the quest. Going back to that game made me appreciate sims 4 funnily enough! Sure there are things I miss like having babies be able to travel to different lots but the freedom of the other sims games and the ability to not have to go on quests to unlock basic things are really what is super important to me as a player.
Also I think each sim could only have one hobby at a time and you would lose all your progress if you switched to another one. Also the lack of sim customization is another huge thing that turns me off to that game now. TLDR, sims free play is not as great as people hype it up to be, and the other sims games are so much better.
Honestly I would never have the patience!
I've been playing freeplay since it started 😁😁 I only ever stopped because I kept running out of space on my phone and I'm really impatient so waiting real time hours isn't the best option for me 🤣
It for sure wouldn't be a great option for me either
Same but my phone just took it off and the app store not working for me I hate old phones lol
Wait.. I only just checked that you only have 14k subs?!? You deserve all subs!!
Can you do the sims mobile too?
Aw thanks! lol for me that's a lot. Yes sure when I get a chance I'd love to!
The toddlers going around like superheroes would be pretty nice to have in The Sims 4 it reminds me of the Rugrats when they were super babies 🥰
Ha yes it does kind of look like rugrats.
okay if you just get the cheats for freeplay its just amazing , the babies, dogs,seasons , cars, real babies (not objects) toddlers EVERYTHING FOR FREE AND in the sims 4 you have to buy these which can cost a lot and also job i know a lot of people don’t like the speed time but its actually worth it rather then 40$ and if you have cheats you are sorted
really ! I feel it wouldn't be for me but I do admire all the content they give. Thanks for your perspective
@@SimmerErin yes even i own the sims 4 play it more often then the simsfreeplay but just saying for people who can’t afford a computer or 100 different packs
Love your comments, you hit it right on the nail!😊😊😊
Thank you!
The babies are everything I've ever wanted T^T
They do have nice features, reminds me of Sims 2 and 3
I've played FreePlay, but not in awhile. I much before the open sandbox style of 4. But it is a fun little game to have on your phone for down time when you are out and about. Waiting in line somewhere, on breaks at work, etc.
Yep. I think it has a very different context and can be enjoyed for what it is
we need bunk beds, more pets, life stage interactions and hobbies, better babies and boat homes
It's interesting. My argument is that it's easier to program in freeplay but most of these things are simply things we had in Sims 2 and 3
@@SimmerErin because its a mobile game its definetley easier to program
The Sims Freeplay was one of my favorite games of all time. Minus how expensive it is to literally play the game with the quests, it’s impossible to get through it if you’re a busier person. But if modded (with a lot of money) it becomes pretty fun.
what kind of mods are available
@@SimmerErin The game in itself cannot be externally modded but in android “modded” or “unlocked” apk versions are available on google. You do have to uninstall the game (and download it again) in order to get them and not all of them are exactly safe (but the most popular ones especially the an1 one is completely safe, the ones that include human verification might not be)
as someone who went from playing the sims freeplay, to the sims mobile, to the sims 4, and back to the sims freeplay, i think it's much more tolerable as i've gotten older? when i used to play it in 5th grade, i was too impatient for everything. but now that i have online school, and actual things i need to get done - i find that i can just send a sim to work while i'm at school. or just have them do something while i'm doing something else.
i do really miss the autonomy, cas, and cheats (oops) from the sims four. honestly, playing the sims freeplay just makes me wish my computer wasn't broken so i could play the sims 4 ahaha
Ha I could see that! I am afraid I'd still be impatient but see how that could work
@@SimmerErin i'm still really impatient lol. but i have like 2 of my 9 sims who don't have jobs? so i can have them do quests or more short-term things, while everyone else is earning me some good 'ol moolah. that usually helps with my impatience? and like some of the job branches you can go to work with them, and do tasks.
the real-time feature is my only problem. years ago, there used to be a cheat method wherein you can adjust the time to finish the tasks, but i think EA knew about it and fixed it. now, i dont have enough time to play this, but it feels nostalgic to me seeing this vid.
Yeah, I heard there was some sort of cheat. Real time I just wouldn't have the time or patience for!
I think with the lifestages it’s fine because the babies are sort of like toddlers because they can do a lot of things and learn how to walk and stuff and then the toddlers are like young children (preschool/kindergarten) so then the preteens are like older kids. I dunno it’s not perfect.
It's not perfect, but I too don't see a huge problem. I think my biggest issue isn't the life stages themselves, but that I'd love to see more distinction and unique gameplay for each life stage
It's been a year since I last commented, but I think one of the reasons why The Sims Freeplay has more than The Sims 4 might be because The Sims Freeplay was made after The Sims 3 and I guess they wanted it to be like a watered-down mobile version of TS3? It's pretty much the same with The Sims Mobile. TSM was made sometime after TS4 and it lacks a lot of things just like TS4, which doesn't surprise me. Even with every single Expansion Pack, Game Pack, Stuff Pack and Kit, TS4 still feels pretty empty. Anyway, to whoever is reading this, I hope and pray that you, your family and friends are all happy, healthy, safe and warm with a roof over y'all's heads and I pray it continues to stay that way. I hope y'all are having a wonderful day/night, too! 💗💞🙏🥰
Yeah, it's a very lackluster model imo, but of course, mobile games are always going to be fairly limited i comparison
I think 4 is improving and I like some of the recent updates, but it certainly started with shaky foundation. And good to have you back!
I played sims 4 for awhile, now my laptop is low on storage so I was thinking freeplay
In terms of babies in the Sims FreePlay, you don't actually have to be married to have them. You do however have to reach the "partner" relationship status. Just thought I'd clarify that. :)
I meant to put a pinned comment and never did, because I realized my mistake!
Ha!! I found it. As referenced in 8/5/22's video. Wow!! The baby interactions are nice. I wish they could turn these interactions in a kit. ...of course, what's a kit here in June of 2020.
haha oh I didn't mean this old one, I had one where I show more of the similarities not as old. this one I remember making because people kept saying that "freeplay was better"
Sims freeplay would have been the perfect game without the long waiting times and high prices, so Ima go with Sims 4
Yeah I don't think I'd love the wait!
@@SimmerErin it's pretty annoying. Thank god you can skip time in sims 4 xd
In the sims freeplay you have to do a quest that took me 3 months to finish in order for your baby to crawl around. You have to finish the Nanny Knows Best quest to have more options with the baby. The 4 original options without the quest is to feed the baby, Change the baby's diaper, entertain the baby, and to cuddle the baby.
Edit: more facts in the replies section
Stages for free play are baby, toddler, pre-teen, teen, adult and elder
Also cars they have cars
hmm interesting
Also, toddlers are considered children, the quest to unlock them in my country it is called: Quest for Children.
FINALLY someone is talking about this
Hope to do more videos like this!
it is sooo cool, the only bad think is how the times works, i used to have it with mods, and it was sooo cool.. i did in 1 year what my friend did in 1 year
Tbh u dont really need to have to get married to have a baby. You need to finish the "Love is in the air quest" first tho, once u finish it u can get the "Two and a half sims" quest and when your done u can just click on the crib and get a baby.
I just wanted to point that out, I also love your videos!! 💕💖💖
Yes I know I need to make a pinnd comment--apparently it used to be like that but thankfully it was updated. And thanks!
Adding a baby to a crib sounds like having adopted baby. I want my sims to get pregnant and birth their own baby
i'd honestly love it if you did a video on sims mobile!
I will look into it!
I actually never play my SIMS 4 anymore. I got a cheat to unlock all the things, so now that I don't have wait times, it's so much fun. I like that it's more task based where you are meeting goals.
Thanks you for doing this comparison video and pointing out features I didn't know about. And the limitations you talk about are artificial. We don't have to choose one or the other. We can have the best features of both. We could have children and preteens. Even if there were different limitatations than in previous games, we could still have those features. The idea that the Sims 4 team can only do so much within a time limit is not a good reason to put out content that is incomplete. I would gladly wait longer for them to get it right. It's their timeline and no one is rushing them to put out new packs. I wish EA would lay out a list of all the features people have been asking for and let us go in and tally and rank the things we want. That would create transparency and make it clear to consumers and the company what we want. A lot of the packs released I just don't get. I don't understand how the decisions about what to leave in from previous games and what to leave out. Like can they just give us the old stuff that worked and that we want, before giving us all of this new stuff? Anyway, that's a ramble. I just feel a lot of frustration comes from simmers who have been around since Sims 1, 2, 3 and now feel unheard when really we just want The Sims to be awesome. And the company doesn't seem to be on the same wavelength in terms of what would make the game great.
My point was is that it's not a direct comparison because the two games are very different. That said, a more fair comparison would be previous games. I notice freeplay isn't really re inventing the wheel here--rather many of these features I remember from sims 2 and 3
Okay, now I remember loving the sims freeplay because I cheated the game and got unlimited xp so I could skip through all the times.
Lol! how'd you manage that
@@SimmerErin just search happymod or panda helper for android. Panda helper also works on iOS buts it’s revoked
p.s.
i know cheating sucks, but i use it in sims freeplay. i take the japanese retreat with no sims or houses in my save, then i sell it all. you’ll make 50’000 back. just continue and you’ll get millions in a 1 or so :)
Oh I feel sims players of all kinds are quite accustomed to cheating lol
7:29 lol the pets! The pets! The pets!
lol?
@@SimmerErin why was it repeat it's self 🤣
@@SimmerErin but i have s question. Can you mod the sims freeplay?
I wish some of the furniture in the sims freeplay was in the sims 4. Some of the kitchen appliances and counters ARE SO GOOD! I keep trying the sims freeplay out because I keep giving up. I have to wait like 24 hours for them to make food and it gets really annoying after awhile.
That's a great idea! I'd love to look at what furniture they have.
I understand that the sims was scrapped and they had to quickly start over but they could have took their time. They could make an upgraded version of sims free play making actions quicker. And still have features from sims 2, 3, and 4. I hope to see something like this in sims 5 at least.
Yes this exactly. And yep I think every game has good features I just think 4 probably should not have been released as it was
I played Sims freeplay for between 2 and 3 years. I absolutely loved playing Sims freeplay, but EA ruined the game for me by adding video advertising to the game. I kept playing for a couple months after they added the adds, but finally quit maybe a year or more ago. I find the Sims 4 of very easy game to play and very fun. The Sims freeplay on the other hand can be a very difficult game to accomplish goals in. For example I never did get the volcano to erupt and I still had plenty of goals to complete when I quit. I'm not saying this as a complaint, but to just show how the two games are different.
Yeah I could see that being annoying. Yes Sims 4 had a reputation for being quite easy tbh I'd like a balance between the two
I actually used to play The Sims Freeplay before I even knew about the Sims 4, I LOVED it, it was my favorite game of all time. Then I got into yt and saw the Sims 4, and ever since I have been wanting the Sims 4. I remember I got as far as getting my first baby in the Sims Freeplay, but then I got my computer for Chrismas including the Sims 4. Now currently I no longer play the Sims Freeplay because it was on my tablet and my tablet forgot the password *and no I didn't make a mistake with the password thing, I knew all the passwords I have used on that thing and it litterly forgot* Anyway I really LOVED it and I really hope preteens come to the Sims 4 because I can no longer make myself as I am a preteen now. P.S. LOVE YOUR VIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah I def think it depends on where you start and what you play with with you you feel about it!
How did you get the traits? Am I the only one who doesn't have the traits option?
For Sims Freeplay? There are personalities
sims.fandom.com/wiki/Personality_(The_Sims_FreePlay)
@@SimmerErin oh I must not be on a high enough level yet.
Honestly I don’t mind the quest based gameplay similar to The Sims Medieval but it just takes WAY too long to do the interactions. I wouldn’t mind a PC port or something with all the same interactions and everything except you can fast forward time, maybe also improve the graphics while they’re at it
Yes I don't know how people would have time!
A TON of the hobbies are hobbies I’ve never heard of, and almost every hobby comes when you build a certain building in the town which each building costs a ton of simoleons. Pets in FREEplay cost a ton- as you see a rabbit will cost 20 lp and both LP and SP are extremely difficult to get - you don’t simply earn it, you essentially get lucky randomly with LP or occasionally completing a social task (going into another sim town, aka a Facebook friend who has Freeplay) and doing the task in their town can get you SP every once in a while. Preteens are not able to complete almost every task and are rarely included in quests- they are practically useless unless a random task requires a preteen. For personalities, I’m not sure where that comes from because they don’t have any- they’re all the exact same and also every sim looks like they’re drunk. A lot of the animations I’ve seen in this video are types of animations they show in ads, especially the ones at the store earlier on in the video, which aren’t actually what it looks like. I don’t know much about the store it features because I am trying to complete the quest for it right now (which is time limited and extremely difficult to attain), but most buildings you build the sims can’t go in. We have a grocery store and a fire station and some other places but they’re just there as buildings on a map that you might get about S50 every 24 hours or some random amount. Building houses and things are very difficult and can be expensive. In sims 4 I believe you can rotate around to look at it from different positions but in sims Freeplay you can rotate or anything and can only see from above. When bullring a house, you get a grid and everything because a very dark gray or black, so if it’s nighttime in real life, it will be far to dark to design anything in the game. In sims 4 there are so many more clutter and decorative items, you can design rooms and houses differently instead of just having to do squares and rectangles for every room, you can have a diagonal or different shapes of rooms. You can also customize things in sims 4 I think but in Freeplay nothing is customizable except for the cribs, which I didn’t even know about. Some quests are extremely difficult and take a lot of you time so you miss out on a lot when things are time sensitive. There’s something called simchase where you try to beat a computer every day and accomplish a ton of tasks, and sometimes the tasks can add up to 20+ hours and you end up spending a ton of simoleons or social points (SP) which are very hard to get. Simchase lasts a week and I did it for 5 days and my SP went from 60 to 8 because certain tasks in this challenge costs either S100,000 simoleons or 10, 15, sometimes even 20+ SP to complete. It is a free game and that’s why so many play it, but honestly it feels like to a lot of people who play freeplay a lot that EA is just kinda forgetting about it and not listening to people trying to speak up about it :/
Thanks for sharing further details! Yes in all Sims games and games in general there is a degree of that advertising vs reality. I do think alas that free games so to speak use this as their model where things seem free but most gameplay is really under a paywall. Ultimately it's a matter of what you prefer this or a more dlc based system. I certainly prefer dlc because it also feels more transparent
Simsfreeplay was my first sims game i ever played took 3 years to finish I miss playing it wish my phone still worked
ah feel you--my phone is very old lol
In my opinion I always wanted to play "The Sims 4" but I just never had the computer nor did I have enough money to get the stuff I needed since the sims 4 is such a huge game and anything can go wrong and then I found "The Sims Freeplay" It was fun but it takes so long for the sleeping or any tasks unlike The Sims 4 you can do anything on there which takes a few minutes its a freeplay game theres no quests as far as I know plus there's more clothing and hair and much more I love simulation games but I'm more obsessed with the sims 4 I just got the sims 4 a few months ago but my laptop is messed up so I need to get a new one and see if it works better and takes up the space I always see people play it and it's amazing~♡
I admit I probably wouldn't have the patience!
Another aspect that I noticed is that Freeplay has better furniture and objects where as in the Sims 4 you mostly have to get cc
I actually don't mind Sims 4 bb at all-- though more color variations would be nice
I played sims FreePlay and sims 4 I like both but I hate the quest system and how I have to wait so long but I like the sims free play babies I can do much more with them I play sims 4 then freeplay but I do play the game when I feel like it
It certainly isn't my taste either, I don't think that's the kind of gameplay I'd be interested in
the sims freeplay is actually amazing though. i’v played it my whole life (over 10 years) and i’v never gotten board of it. it has 99.9 percent actually free gameplay like the name suggests and even another version of the spa day pack which is my favorite pack in the sims 4, but with even more fetures. i know the waiting times are long but it’s honestly okay and really fun if you play it daily and get used to the waiting times. i love the story centered gameplay and honesty this game is a classic. yes, even though it only had 2 worlds, yes, even though we had limited hairstyles, yes, even though it has levels, even though it had quests, yes, even though the graphics are different to the sims 4, it’s just one of those games that desrves a medal for bieng a certified hood classic like the sims 1,2, or 3
The point here was that people are directly comparing the two- but they are very different games. I don't like any free to play games; some do!
@@SimmerErin i know sorry just had to give my opinion and credit to the game that i love
also you can control all your sims in sims freeplay, but in sims 4 you can only control one household at a time.
in sims 4 you can build a house for free but in sims freeplay you need money
sims 4 is a better game but i wish you could control all your sims one after another even if they lived in different households, and that a sim could continue doing a work instead of stopping when you entered into it's lot again with another sim
The sims free play got me into the sims. Me being intersex i wanted an escape from life when i was younger and sims has helped me cope with life back then.
I bet you have a special nostalgia for it
@@SimmerErin yes 😍 especially for sims 3
I have the sims freeplay already im level 14 and when u completed the all quest u can play it for free i complete the quest because im in, level 30 but i delete my sims
The Sims Freeplay is first Sims game which I play, and at first I loved it so much, because then for me, life simulation game was something so good no matter how it looks like.
Now, when I now for Sims 4 and Sims franchise, and play Sims 4 and Sims 3, for me is hard to play The Sims Freeplay (and Sims Mobile), because they are different types of game, they are mobile games, but what I don't love for Sims 4 and Sims 3 is having too much DLC which I have to buy for better gameplay.
That's my opinion.
I can imagine! Yes they simply are very different types of games
I don't have my own laptop, so I'm stuck with Freeplay. I love the game. Really the main downsides, in my opinion, are the timers and the quest system. The quest system isn't bad, but the process of unlocking everything takes awhile... Mostly because of *cough* timers.
I'm glad you get to enjoy that. Yeah I'd not have the patience!
I STAN SIMS FREEPLAY AMEN
Have you played it
@@fluffycat8026 yes, i have the hacked version with 100M simoleons and 2 billion SP
Martin Loston
Oh ok, I never knew there was a version like that. I asked because if you have the normal mode the game sucks, but with that hack, woah this game would be so epic
Not my thing but I can see some may like it. It's def very different
may I ask how u hacked it?
remembering 7 yr old me in my dad's android being obsessed and not even caring about the three days I had to wait to literally do anything HAHSAHS
Haha! You were a patient 7 year old
You know, it costs 2,500 Simoleans money to buy a baby's decorations (toy) the one that is hang on ceiling above baby's crib. 2,500 dollars just for a simple baby's toy!! Crazy
The sims freeplay was the first sims game I ever played I enjoyed that game a lot I do missed the preteen life stage but I think that the reason we don’t have them in the sims 4 is because if we think about it preteens are basically kids who are transitioning to the teenage stage yes it will be good to have them but then the developers wouldn’t had that time focus is those life stages, in other words if we had preteens they wouldn’t had that much focus on teens of children
Yeah I honestly am not wild about the preteen stage, especially since I don't feel that kids or teens are developed enough as it is
Horses I found lived on my property unfortunately it was a glitch very difficult to move them I think the fire monkeys had to fix it.
Honestly I like the sims freeplay better than the sims 4, if you get the hack it's actually really fun.
Fair enough
I really wish they can do an update so that we an like interact with the sims 4 babys more
Yes at least to make them feel like actual sims--even small interactions could make a difference
Hey again I heard that there was gonna be an update about the babies onesies is that gonna be cc or maxis?
