One of the most successful franchises in video game history, the Sims, has just released its version of The Sims Mobile, the first game in the saga created specifically for the mobile format.
Almost 20 years after the first Sims game, we finally have a game adapted to today's technology that can terribly engage a new generation of usersIn this one, we will be able to play with a digital version of ourselves, try our luck in the world of work and try to improve our living conditions as much as possible.And also, free of charge.
In-App Purchases
The Sims Mobile is not the first game in the franchise to come out on mobile. In 2011, The Sims 3 appeared on the Play Store as an adaptation of the PC game, but it cost 7 euros to download. Now, the production company Electronic Arts, after understanding what were the most profitable business dynamics, has changed its strategy, offering a free download of the game.
Of course, if we want to progress and advance quickly in the game, we will have to end up choosing to make small purchases From the simplest objects Even the acceleration of time itself will be available if we are willing to pay a small amount.
A classic on mobile
Being built specifically for the mobile environment, the game has been able to adapt quite well, optimized for smooth operation and natural movement, without sacrificing image quality. When we play, we will realize that we can alter the perspective with our fingers at any time, and the game will not suffer. It gives us the possibility to frame the game at every moment as if it were a movie.
The first step consists of creating our character. It is a fairly exhaustive process, with great detail in what responds to the features of the face and the shape of the body. As for clothing, we miss a little more options, since only the basic ones are found. In any case, the result is usually satisfactory.
After customization, the game begins, with us arriving at our new house, still in the process of being unpackedThe objective is to turn our house into a place with the maximum style, and for that, we will have to earn money, working, earning rewards or directly making purchases within the app.
Open Environment
With that clear dynamic, we have a whole world to explore. We will be able to explore different areas of the city, try different jobs, participate in events and even be in contact with the family. The map is quite large, and as we progress, we can unlock different areas of the game.
Of course, the possibility of interacting with other sims will be an asset that will give the game its differential element. Fear not, the characteristic unintelligible chatter that began as a joke and is now a classic is maintained.
Ultimately, the game uses the same strategy as many others, from Narcos to Homescapes, where we must improve our personal situation, by dedicating hours (and money).
The main attraction is to recover that aura of simplicity that made the saga famous, where the character's life seems our own, except that neither his successes nor his failures will affect us in real life . If you want to know how The Sims Mobile works, you can download it for free, both for iOS and Android. You will love it both to relive old times and to enter its world for first time.
