The Sims FreePlay is a strategic life simulation game developed by EA Mobile and later with Firemonkeys Studios.
Players can progress through 60 levels to unlock content (such as furniture for the Sims’ houses) that can be purchased with the virtual currencies previously mentioned.

[12] The Sims Freeplay received "Generally favorable reviews" from critics, holding an aggregated Metacritic score of 80/100.
[14] Nissa Campbell of TouchArcade believes that FreePlay is very similar in spirit to the original The Sims of 2000 and seems to be listening to the claims left back in those days - to add MMORPG elements to its gameplay.
[15] AppGamer also noted that the timing mechanic makes the player either love Freeplay or hate it, especially for those who don't like to wait for hours.
