1. [R2] The Sims™ FreePlay 4/5 · US To make it 5 stars this app needs…: Realistic Life • 🧍 Different body types and heights. • 😊 A deeper emotions system (happiness, sadness, anger, fear, jealousy, boredom, etc.). • 🧠 Unique personalities for every Sim (social, shy, lazy, generous, intelligent, hot-tempered, etc.). • 🥶 Sims reacting to weather by feeling hot or cold and dressing appropriately. • ☔ Automatic umbrella use when it rain
2. [R3] The Sims™ FreePlay 3/5 · US This game is for you: This game is so chill and fun !If you like the .Sims you will love this game I wish it had more customize that was free but I still love this game.
3. [R64] Virtual Families 3 1/5 · US Cool Game: But this game neeeeds work. You have to work like a slave to even get money to by more than food and medicine. Like they have to work like a dogggg for it . And all the furniture so expensive!! Next this game should have a way where the current generation can visit and meet with their sibling til a. New generation starts . Like the siblings should be able to connect on a family trip or
4. [R69] Virtual Families 3 3/5 · US Nostalgic but has issues: I think it’s much too difficult to make money in this game but maybe I am over eager. A whole generation of each adult working 3 or more times a day and I only managed to end the generation with 1,800 something vf money. I didn’t spend much either. Groceries and only bought things on sale, the most exciting of which was the pingpong table. The resort stuff is SO expensive
5. [R4] The Sims™ FreePlay 1/5 · US Not what Sims is about: The game will require to setup neighbors and if you don’t have social media you won’t be able to pass that quest and then there is no storyline. They essentially force you to connect your accounts to keep playing. That’s the first red flag. Updates would never download on WiFi or cellular. I restarted, tried other games, and it still wouldn’t download. Also it tries to make
6. [R7] The Sims™ FreePlay 1/5 · US Cannot Resume Game: I have been playing for a year and a few weeks ago I got the Living Teddy from the market, but it has a bug that does not allow you to return it to inventory. Support apparently fixed it, but I could only return it to inventory once and, then, it bugged again. So, I decided to save game and delete and reinstall. Now, I cannot load my saved game; I get up to 100% / 99% downloade
7. [R95] Virtual Families 3 5/5 · US Quick Fix, Great Support!: I had a missing item i needed, and once i contacted them they jumped on it fast. the response was super quick and everything got fixed in less than 24 hours. reallyyyy impressed with how smooth and reliable the support was every time!
8. [R102] Virtual Families 3 3/5 · US I just deleted it.: I used to love these games, I mean virtual villagers and families ALL OF THEM. But I deleted this one on my second Gen because of number one making money was almost impossible without watching and ads and number 2 every time I opened the app half the family members were SICK. And on top of that they needed three medicines each which included VANCOMYCIN which costs 390 coins wh
9. [R25] The Sims™ FreePlay 1/5 · US Please stop: This is the second time my game has crashed during several challenges going on, and when it comes back on, I lose all progress. All of my sims were busy doing long tasks, and when the game finally loaded all my sims had stopped what they were doing. I’ve spent tons of money on this games and it keeps cheating me.
10. [R40] The Sims™ FreePlay 1/5 · US Keep glitching out: I like this game so much but I always have to stop playing it because every time I get deeply into it the game begins to glitch like now. I’m in the middle of a 14 day development and now because of the game is glitching out. I’m not going to be able to finish it and the thing that irritates The most is how much money I’ve actually invested into this game because I really like
11. [R61] Virtual Families 3 2/5 · US Bugs: So I’ve been playing this game since I could remember growing as an adult I’ve noticed that things are way too hard on the game such as earning coins , in the ads.. bugs glitch the game out where you won’t get rewarded anything. Please update virtual families. I love this game. I do not want to delete.
12. [R103] Virtual Families 3 1/5 · US Too many bugs: I bought food for my family and can’t drag it to the counter. I’ve tried and tried. It just stays in inventory. No point in playing this game. Bought grains dairy and meats. The fridge is at 35 and the game won’t let me put the food in inventory on the freaking counter. So their food just keeps going down even though I keep buying food. Maybe it’s just on the iPhone. Bc every time I
13. [R27] The Sims™ FreePlay 3/5 · US Annoying: I feel like you guys are greedy. Just let us be able to enjoy the game with all the customizations instead of having to earn things. It’d be so much better. Most frustration comes from limited initial options. And paying to get money out? Like cmon.
14. [R34] The Sims™ FreePlay 1/5 · US THE GAME CHEATS: The game CHEATS! I finished the 90 days of checking in, should be at vip level 10 but instead when I finished level 9 at the end of 90 days the requirements for level 9 are all that changed and it did NOT give me level 10. Also its clearly so focused on forcing you to spend and usually its WAY more than it’s worth and you pay BIG for things that glitch and don’t work properly. Als
15. [R70] Virtual Families 3 1/5 · US Pricing: I do not want to give a one star review. I feel like it is necessary. This needs to be taken into account. I played virtual family for years. I’ve played 1,2 and now three I’ve also played the island and villagers as well, and I have never in my life been so appalled against the pricing of in game currency and real life currency. The lowest package you can buy for coins is $1.99 and that
16. [R112] Virtual Families 3 1/5 · US Money grab: Honestly, nothing to play unless you have coins. And you can’t actively earn coins unless you wait for a few coins a day (which is max 30min play time) everyday or pay money. And when I say pay money I mean that the value for in game play doesn’t even come close to what you’re paying…
17. [R43] The Sims™ FreePlay 1/5 · US Won’t download: I’ve had this game for years. I go to play and it’s forcing an update but it won’t go through and I have room for it. It’s happening on my iPad and on my phone. I’ve spent a lot of money on this app as well. I keep being directed to articles but not getting any real help.
18. [R55] The Sims™ FreePlay 1/5 · US Fix the game: It just keeps saying download error. I tried eveything. It’s your servers. Please fix them asap. Then I’ll change the rating.
19. [R107] Virtual Families 3 5/5 · US Great game: I absolutely love this game! I've been playing it for years on my free time. 10/10
