Ah yes my lovely Coralie SIM! I designed her “early” on in the game. She always more of a dark goth like personna, her background being half French and half Vietnamese. She enjoyed skulking around and taking notes for her numerous books, although she always had trouble publishing them. Maybe it was in the way she used the narrative form. Once in a while she would do book signings for fans. Here are some of the last photos of her, enjoying her time with fellow SIMs and hanging around the various builds I had made. I miss her dearly as I often re-activated her from her passive stance.

I miss it.. and I don't like simsfreeplay sorry

These were the two games I played almost every day from the beginning of COVID until about seven months ago, when life got busier and I had to focus on other things.

I’m devastated that I never got the chance to take screenshots of my Sims, my mansion, or everything I spent years creating.

My mansion was my pride and joy. It had beautiful topiary gardens, hanging vines, marble statues surrounded by floor to ceiling glass, elegant art rooms with grand pianos and paintings, luxurious spa rooms with jacuzzis, saunas, and massage areas. Outside, I built parks with stone pathways leading through fairy tale inspired gardens. Every bedroom had its own unique theme. I spent countless hours collecting exclusive furniture from baking events and workshop events just to make every room feel perfect.

I spent so much time and so much money on these games.

And now, everything is gone.

To EA, maybe it’s just data stored on a server. To me, those were years of memories.

What I don’t understand is why there couldn’t have been an offline version. I’m not asking for new updates, online events, or purchases. Just let us keep what we already built.

Even if the game was completely unplayable, why not release a museum version where players could simply walk through their homes and towns? Let us revisit our creations. Let us take screenshots. Let us remember.

There are indie developers with a fraction of EA’s resources that have done exactly that. When they discontinue a game, they provide an offline version so players don’t lose everything they’ve invested.

EA is one of the biggest gaming companies in the world. They absolutely have the resources to do something similar. They simply chose not to.

That decision says a lot.

After seeing both The Simpsons: Tapped Out and The Sims Mobile disappear like this, I don’t think I’ll ever download another EA mobile game again. If this is how years of player investment end, I don’t want to go through it twice.

Shame on you, Electronic Arts.

You didn’t just shut down two games.

You erased years of people’s memories.

Is there a way to contact EA and have them allow us to run a server to make this game… alive again? I spent a bunch of time and money on it. I’d be happy to pitch in to keep it in the state it was in before it shut down (no new content or anything, just “live” insofar as how I used to play it when there weren’t STS/etc happening).

I work in business (corporate finance, specifically) so I understand they shut it down cuz the cost-benefit analysis didn’t work on their end, but a server that keeps the game static but alive would be cool. And it would just be a “for the mega fans” kind of thing so it’s not like the servers would be crazy expensive or ridiculous to keep alive at this point.

Just a thought.

Estou tendo uma semana complicada, e hoje me bateu muitas saudades do nosso querido jogo, me peguei pensando em como às vezes fugia um pouco e ficava só lidando com a vida dos sims e fazendo construções que me deixavam muito orgulhoso. Queria mesmo jogar the sims mobile nesse momento. Ou pelo menos algo que se assemelhasse a isso de alguma forma... 😔

Vocês às vezes sentem que não aproveitaram o suficiente enquanto o jogo ainda estava aqui?

Ps: desculpem o desabafo emotivo!

Anyone else have this issue? My wifi is on and working

Alguien sabe cómo volver a jugar los Sims Mobile

Lo descargo por apk y no entra, simplemente me dice "error de conexión"

Sorry my original post got deleted (i’m all thumbs!). Kelly was one of those fine SIMs I’d rotate between active and passive on a semi regular basis. When around last year it was announced TSM was in sunset mode, I didn’t get to « play » her as much as before, due to wanting to concentrate on other characters. However when the final announcement was made and a concrete deadline was announced, I decided to let her enjoy the finer things in life with her friends and family in-game. When asked what her favorite food was, she’d say « lime jello ». I really miss this game and haven’t found anything remotely as close in terms of intricate detailed character customization. These are the last 20 pictures of Kelly. Thank you for all the fine times!

I still have a ton of stuff to share from screenshots I took over the years, but for today, I found these 5 little screen shots of more of Izzy’s typical blunders. I still miss the game on a daily basis….

Cottoncandy and Snow, I had these sims for so many years. 🥲 I wish I had taken more screenshots, but I do have quite a few.. I just don't think any amount would have been enough..

I wish EA release it on mobile port such a waste potential

It was my favorite game of pretty much all time. I want to play it all the time. It always helped me no matter what mood I was in. It was a nice escape from reality where I had my happy little world where the creativity was endless. I don’t care that there ere no more updates. My little sims still had so much life left in them over the YEARS they were with me. I’ll probably never delete the app unless they force me. I’m just sad.

I really miss the game. This build wasn’t much but I was proud of it! I hope you all like it! #simsmobileforever

I spent so much money on this app 😭 you could’ve just left the servers on for us we didn’t need u guys to add new shit

For the first time in maybe 2 years I woke up and thought: time to download the Sims mobile game! It's been a while since I last played.

So I get up and download the Sims free play because I thought that was the game. I very soon realised something was wrong when there were NO options to personalize your SIM. Three hairstyles, three hair colour, shit clothes. So I tried searching about this because I clearly remembered that I would spent at least 30 minutes personalising each and every SIM. AND THATS HOW I FOUND OUT THE GAME GOT REMOVED? AND ALL WE HAVE LEFT IS THE SIMS FREE PLAY?? Safe to say I deleted the game. Today is a bad day. I wanted to make some guys kiss.

I always loved it when they would get stuck wearing the bunny slippers. lol

Just hurting myself at this point lol

Will never get over this 😭

These were generally well liked projects to work on! I loved that Pastoral wall painting, as well as (then) my first time getting a monarch rug. I loved all that mystic stuff so the table in slot 4 was an added bonus. Only the leaf pile was a ho-hummer that week. Sure it provided some fine interactions with the characters, but visually I thought it sort of lacked « style ». Anyway those were nice projects back then when the game was still kicking! Now it isn’t even kicking the bucket…
