It’ll also include typicalSimsfeatures, so you can design your own characters and customize their home.

This isn’t the first time the series has tested the mobile, free-to-play waters: in 2011,The Sims Freeplaylaunched on iOS before expanding to other mobile platforms, and that same yearThe Sims Socialmade its debut on Facebook, before shutting down two years later. Both games made some significant changes to the best-selling life sim formula.Freeplay, for instance, introduced real-time gameplay, whileSocialput players in control of a single in-game character instead of an entire family. The Sims 4 on PC, meanwhile, is still going strong. Just yesterday EA announced that the game’s monthly active user base jumped 33 percent year-over-year.
