As mentioned many times in previous articles, The Sims Freeplay is a mobile game created by EA for Android and iOS devices. And, despite the fact that the game was updated some time ago, we thought it would be a good idea to refresh your knowledge with some new tips for completing one of the most popular games in the whole world. But what should you expect from the mobile version of this “popular simulation game”? First of all, this is a kind of “distilled” version of the Sims game for other platforms, here you can also create your own Sims, build houses, let them interact with each other like people in the real world. They can wear different outfits, live in houses, take care of pets, and grow from infancy to old age, just like they do in the real world.
In this guide to completing tasks, we decided to focus on the last aspect of The Sims Freeplay - how Sims grow from infancy and become elderly people. What do they do, what should you expect, and what should you do at each stage of their Sims life?
There are a few things you need to have in order for two Sims to have children. First of all, there must be a crib in your house, and two Sims must be married in order for them to have children. Yes, The Sims Freeplay takes away the old school principle in this regard, but from a game mechanics point of view, it makes sense.
When caring for babies, you must teach them to crawl and then walk. You can also teach them some life skills like music by teaching them how to play the xylophone. To summarize, it should be noted that infants should be under the strict supervision of adults at all times.
2. Kids
In The Sims Freeplay, compared to babies, caring for babies is a little more difficult. Adult Sims will still need to keep a close eye on the kids. You can take the little ones to the children's entertainment center to keep them entertained, or take them to the beach where you can collect shells with them.
3. Children 10-12 years old
Children aged 10-12 in The Sims Freeplay have many similarities to real children of the same age. In particular, this concerns the fact that at this age children spend money, but cannot yet earn it on their own. But in the game they can collect some money through their hobbies such as figure skating, ballet, karate and like toddlers they can collect shells. Children 10-12 years old do not require additional attention from adults, but there are some aspects where they cannot do without the help of adults.
4. Teens
Teenagers, like ten-year-olds, spend a lot of money, but unlike them, teenagers can earn money on their own. But don't expect them to make a lot of money. The only time teenagers will need adult help is driving. Teenagers have a fairly wide range of hobbies compared to ten-year-old children. This includes cooking, figure skating, swimming, arcade games, surfing, breakdancing, modeling, and casting spells.
5. Adults
Adults are the only ones who perform routine daily work during the day: putting food on the table and working at work. But they can also have their own hobbies, just like the hobbies described above for teenagers. They may also indulge in more "mature" hobbies that include fishing, ghost hunting, salsa and more. Among other things, adults must have a career, it can be something fun like games or something more serious like teaching or real estate, how long they have a job, so long they can earn money from it.
6. Elderly
Elderly people in The Sims Freeplay do not work because they have already left their jobs. What are they doing? Do they have any hobbies? Yes, there are, and these are the “stereotypical” hobbies that older people do: bird feeding, bingo and sewing. These are new hobbies that keep your Sims busy.

requirements
Beginning of the game
When you first start the game, there are two modes for starting the game - start over and download data (downloading game progress from the cloud). If you're new to playing, just like when you launch towns in The Sims 3, the camera pans around the town and the game logo appears. The first step is to create a Sim. The second step is to complete the in-game tutorial.
Net
The game requires an internet connection in order for the game to determine your real time. However, after loading the game, WI-FI can be turned off. Please note that certain Wi-Fi connection security settings will not always allow you to use all the game's functions (for example, due to such settings, the holiday boat may sometimes not load).
Camera / Viewing Angle
The game uses a third-person view of the game space. Move: Move cameras with one finger. Rotate: Rotate the camera with two fingers. Zoom: To zoom in, spread two fingers apart on the screen. Or click the magnifying glass icon to zoom in or out.
Needs and actions
Characters have six needs: communication, leisure, nutrition, hygiene, natural need and vigor. Sims with their needs met are happy, healthy, and ready to do anything you ask them to do!
NOTE! Any action takes time to complete. You can turn off the game whenever you want, and your character will continue to perform the action you assigned to him. The game will send you notifications when important actions are completed.
Crystal (plumbob)
The green crystal above the character's head is called a "plumbob". Plumbob indicates the character who is under your direct control at the moment - this is the active character.
NOTE! If you want to make another character active, click on it and then on the green exchange icon, which is located next to the character's first and last name. The crystal will go to this character.
Inspiration
When most of the needs are met, the character is inspired. Inspired characters earn significantly more experience points and Simoleons for completing actions.
Pets
You'll start the game with one dog hunting for treasure, but once you build a pet supply store, every character can have a pet! Some pet store dogs and cats have received elite treasure-hunting training, which allows them to sniff out more valuable items.
Cupcakes
Cupcakes can be used to instantly satisfy all of the active Sim's needs and "inspire" them! Cupcakes are especially useful when you have too many characters in your city to look after.
Tracking device
A tracking device is needed to track all characters at the same time. Touch the character's portrait to go visit him, or on the whistle to invite him to visit you. If a character is busy with an activity or has completed an activity before you visit him, he cannot be summoned. First, you need to visit the character to receive the Simoleons or experience points earned for completing the action.
Bonus for completing actions at home
Characters earn additional experience points and Simoleons for completing actions in their home.
Construction mode
Use the Build mode to buy and place furniture, add or resize rooms, change wallpaper and flooring, add doors and windows, and create your own garden. To delete a room, tap anywhere in the room and tap the Sell button. The room will be deleted, and all things in it will go to the “Luggage” section.
City value and daily rewards
Every day you will receive a letter with the city's income. As you fill your house with interesting items and build a city, your rewards will increase. Check your inbox every day to make the most of your profits. You will notice that at some point the daily reward will stabilize or stop increasing significantly in parallel with the city's income. This is normal. The size of the daily reward depends on the value of the player’s city.
City map
In addition to the tracking device, you can travel around the city using the city map. On the city map you can build new houses, jobs and establishments. You can also collect income in the form of experience points and simoleons from any built building and character houses, as well as from other built places such as the park. Sometimes, in order to construct a building, you will have to meet special requirements, such as reaching a certain level or adding a required number of characters.
Relationship
Characters can have different types of relationships. Touch any character you want to talk to as the active character and select the communication action to begin developing their relationship in any direction you want. You'll earn bonus experience points for reaching relationship milestones.
Job
The characters, just like you, are eager to work! Create jobs on the city map so they can get a job. Different jobs have different work hours, so choose a job that best suits each character's style. Click on the briefcase on the character tracker or on the career panel if you want to send the character to work when the time comes (one hour before and two hours after the start of the work shift). Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time and the game will send you a reminder!
Promotion
The starting salary is not that high, but staying true to your job and getting a raise will help you build up savings. Each working day brings the character closer to promotion. Don't forget to send him to work, and soon he will begin to receive more experience and simoleons.
Hobby Store
Build a hobby store and you can buy items for your characters that will help you level up your career and get promoted faster. The hobby store also sells other interesting items.
Cars
Build a car parking lot to buy cars for your characters. You can go on trips in cars to earn experience points.
Gardening
Gardening is a great way to earn Simoleons. Buy a garden plot from a home improvement store and place it on your character's property. Then tap a garden plot and select seeds to plant. As you level up, more seeds will be available to you.
Bakery
It's the same with baking as with gardening. Buy a stove from a home improvement store and place it in your Sim's home, then touch the stove and select the baking recipe. As you level up, more recipes will be available to you. But some foods may burn, so cook at your own risk!
Supermarket
Have you noticed that every time your Sim gardens or bakes, the ingredients they need are delivered to their home? Because of this, the price is probably higher! Build a supermarket and you can buy seeds and baking ingredients cheaper. A little organization will save you a lot of money in the long run.
Game tasks
After creating the first resident of your city, complete the tasks offered by the game, which will bring additional profit and also tell you what to do next. There are three types of tasks:
- Single tasks performed in your city. To complete them, you need to perform one action. For completing such tasks, you will be rewarded with Simoleons, experience, or Lifestyle Points (LP). Since version 5.0.0, completing a certain number of such tasks per week gives you keys to boxes with prizes.
- Groups of tasks performed in your city, for example: “Mysterious Island”, “Coming of Age”, “Higher Education”, “Path to Glory”, “Great Ghost Escape”. Such tasks consist of several single tasks. After completing a group of tasks, you will get the opportunity to build a new building (a bridge to a mysterious island, a high school), raise a schoolboy into a teenager, or another special reward.
- Single tasks performed in the city of your neighbors, for which they give communication points.
- Statue of the Ancient Goddess (if it is of the maximum level) - Gives you the opportunity on Wednesday from 20:00 to 00:00 and Saturday from 21:00 to 00:00 to receive free lifestyle points.
Characters
Game Characters
There are also other characters in the game (which are not created by the player, of course). They are added with each game update, and will appear in various game tasks, main and special (holiday) tasks or game events. The interactions of these characters are limited and will only be available upon request of the game's mission objectives. All playable characters such as Vampli, Osiris and Bree disappear after the game's quests are successfully completed.

Game currency
Experience Points (XP)
Characters earn experience points for completing actions. Experience points fill the level scale. As you level up, you'll gain access to new furniture, interesting items, quests, garden plots, cooking recipes, and the ability to add more characters, jobs, and new work locations on the city map.
Simoleons (§)
Simoleons are the characters' currency. Characters earn Simoleons by gardening, baking, doing chores, or having animals that dig up treasure. Simoleons are needed to buy furniture, fun items, garden plots, cooking recipes, pets, cars, houses and jobs. Simoleons can also be purchased in the online store for real money.
Lifestyle Points (LS)
You receive lifestyle points for completing goals. Animals can also find SJ points by sniffing out treasures in the area! Additionally, lifestyle glasses can be purchased in the online store. Use Lifestyle Points to instantly complete any action or construction, or buy items in the store. Lifestyle Points can also be used to purchase character cupcakes.
Friend Points (FSD)
These glasses are like SSD ( in English- NBR), could be obtained by receiving holiday rewards daily
At first glance, the mobile game is similar to the famous original version. In fact, with a discount on the platform and free-to-play distribution model, it has undergone a number of gameplay simplifications and changes, and now has the right to be considered a completely independent project. Let's figure out how to play The Sims FreePlay without investing money and developing your city, and also let’s talk a little about the “Curly-Curly” event, which is happening in it right now.
Beginning of the game
The game can be downloaded for free from, or, but it requires a constant Internet connection to work. After installation, for some time you will not need to do anything except complete game quests - they will gently introduce you to the game world and provide useful information on key points of the game.
1. Level and currency
The number in the circle corresponds to your current level. Experience for increasing the level is accumulated by performing any action - the longer the action takes, the more experience is awarded for it. New levels provide access to new tasks and items.
The main game currency is simoleons. Their main sources are work and growing vegetables in garden beds. It is better to send residents to work at night while you are sleeping. There is no point in building jobs until quests require it - there is little benefit from this, and money may be needed to complete tasks. However, until you have upgraded your working skills, growing beans at night may be a little more profitable.
In the future, a daily cash bonus that you will receive in your mailbox will be a good help. The size of the bonus depends on your level and the value of your city - each building built increases this value by a fixed amount. You can also win a relatively large sum from a money tree - it becomes available for planting every few hours after completing the corresponding quest.
Simoleons are spent mainly on improving houses and constructing buildings in the city.
Lifestyle points- the second type of currency, which is no longer so easy to earn. You will receive them for completing tasks, and pets can also collect small amounts of SP points. Their main purpose is to speed up any actions that some impatient players naturally cannot wait for completion. You can also spend points on some interior items.
Communication points- the third type of currency, which is earned by completing a line of social quests (actions on neighbors’ plots). In order to travel to your neighbors, you need to connect to the game Facebook-account (and have at least one friend playing The Sims FreePlay). You can get to your friend’s city through a holiday ship on the map or by tapping on the icon with the image of the globe in the lower left corner. In case of a complete absence of friends interested in the game, the ship’s menu includes a neighboring location controlled by AI. You can spend OO on special houses or interior items.
2. Tracking device
In order to control all the residents of your city at the same time, the game has a special menu - “tracking device”.
It displays all your Sims and their current activities, as well as progress bars for these same activities. From here you can employ your wards (second tab) and send them to work, monitor progress in hobbies (third tab) and relationships with other Sims (tab No. 4). By clicking on the round icon with the image of a character, you can be transported to the location in which he is located, and by tapping on the whistle, the resident himself will be transported to the place that you are viewing at the current moment in time.
3. Needs
Each Sim has five basic needs: hunger, hygiene, restroom, communication, fun. The need scales are located in the lower left corner of the screen and are provided with a color indication (red=things are bad). When all needs are met to a sufficient extent, green lights appear around the Sim and they are considered "inspired". This means that for all actions he will receive more experience and game currency. You can instantly inspire a Sim for a long time by feeding him a cupcake or cake (bought in the needs menu for lifestyle points). When a character is busy with something, the scales empty much more slowly. Therefore, in order to spend less time meeting the needs of your clients, simply do not let them sit idle. Sims continue to work even when you turn off the game. When they complete particularly important actions, the game sends notifications accordingly. For maximum productivity, give Sims tasks in their own homes - this will increase both productivity and reward.
4. Menu
This group of icons is responsible for moving around the game world, arranging houses and making purchases.
- Neighbours. An icon with a globe will open a list of cities available for visiting.
- Construction mode. When you are in one of the houses, clicking on this icon will open the interior, construction and gardening store. Don't waste your money, most items will be given to you for free as a reward for completing tasks.
- City. An icon depicting a multi-story building will open your own city, which you will gradually expand and build up.
- In-game store. Here you can purchase any game currency and unique sets of items for real money.
5. Quests
Your main activity in the game will be completing tasks or achieving goals. They are divided into several types:
- Plot. With their help, you will discover new opportunities and items - for example, weddings and wedding dresses or the birth of children.
- Weekly. Performing ordinary actions, the final reward for which will be keys to boxes with valuable items. Difficult tasks can be skipped for lifestyle points.
- Public. These include all tasks performed on the territory of neighboring cities. Completed quests are rewarded with a small amount of communication points.
- Events. The most interesting and always time-limited tasks. The event lasts only a few days and gives access to unique content. If you do not manage to complete the event within the established time frame, unfortunately, you will no longer be able to obtain event items by other means. Currently, the game is running the quest “Curly-Curly”, which we will tell you about in a little more detail.
Curly-curly
To start this quest you will need to build a hobby shop if you haven't done so before. The building is very useful even without taking into account the ongoing event, since in it you will purchase goods for hobbies and career development. Now you are interested in the item “Fashion Atelier”, which is located in the second tab of the store. The cost of the atelier is 2500 Simoleons. Set up a workshop in the house of a character who does not yet have a hobby, since trying to work in a workshop will completely reset the progress of the previous hobby. In order to get the maximum number of new hairstyles, your character must collect all four clothing collections (12 items).
New items become available for crafting as your hobby level increases. They are created in random order. In addition to hairstyles, each collected collection will bring you an additional reward.
Some non-obvious points
- If you shake a smartphone with the game running, the Sims will become sick and empty their stomachs. For cleaning up the unsightly mass, your Sim receives seven experience points.
- Planting genetically modified plants is not as profitable as it might seem at first glance. Instead of an impressive cash reward, you will most likely receive a carnivorous plant (defeating which, however, requires a few experience points).
- Watch videos in the quest menu and play roulette with the messenger (also for watching videos) - in a relatively short time you will receive items (sometimes expensive), currency or experience.
- If you don't want to wait for game day or night, change the time on your mobile device for a moment - the game will synchronize with it.
- Those who are going to farm Simoleons using a vegetable garden should place the beds in one yard, and not one in each house. Collect the available number of Sims in the desired yard and move forward to the Michurin peaks. This way you can plant and harvest crops faster.
For Android and iOS devices, created on the same principle as The Sims, but, unlike other games in this series, The Sims FreePlay is in real time.
The point of The Sims FreePlay is to create your own town, fill it with completely different characters and develop relationships between them, all this - right from your device! In the game you can reach level 52 and create 31 Sims.
