The Sims FreePlay Simoleons, Lifestyle Points, and Unlock All Items Hack

The Sims series is a beloved franchise published by Electronic Arts Inc. in which the player assumes a God-like influence over a game world. They create and design characters, assign them to jobs, tell them when to eat, what to cook, decorate and build the homes they live in, and even tell them when to interact with other characters! The name Sims has become virtually ubiquitous-the series started at the start of the new millennium, and has spawned three sequels and countless spinoffs and expansion packs.. Today, I’m reviewing the release of the Sims on smartphones and tablets- Sims FreePlay. This particular rendition is of note due to the fact that it is the first time a complete sims experience has been released for smartphones. Though it is not the first portable version of the game, EA has done a good job at bringing the Sims experience to our pockets. The Sims FreePlay is completely free to download and play, though it does have optional microtransactions to enhance your game- more on that later. The game has over 10 million downloads on iOS and Android and has an average of 4.2 stars out of over 600,000 ratings from users. With this many people clamoring to play the game, how could I resist.

The interactive tutorial did a great job at explaining the controls, and the mission-based tutorial sections afterwards helped me to quickly understand the location of all of the needed menus and concepts. The game has a level system- you earn XP by doing basic game tasks, such as telling your Sim to use the restroom or having him or her head to work. Your Sim has various meters at the bottom left of the screen that tell the player what the Sim needs in order to be happy.These meters show how hungry your sim is, how full their bladder is, how tired they are, how dirty they are, how social they are, and how clean the house is. These should be mostly self-explanatory on how to resolve them- if your sim is hungry, you should find them food, if your sim has to go to the bathroom-well, you get the picture. By keeping all of these meters in the green, you gain more XP from actions than you normally would- meaning you increase your level faster! More levels unlock additional things you can buy with the in-game currency, Simoleons.

The game is pretty massive, honestly. You get many different lots on which you can build homes and make families, and furthermore, you have to create the places where they can work- such as the local fire station. You take on a role of city planner as well, deciding what buildings are built where. You do have to download an additional 438mb of data in order to play -this will of course vary depending on your internet speed, but for me, it took around 20 minutes.

The Cloud option allows you to move your save game from any device to any other device. However, you must remember to use the option to “upload your save data”, or this will not work. I tested this feature out, and it works perfectly. It will help you in migrating from device to device, but it will not help you out if your phone shatters unexpectedly- as you’re probably not going to be uploading your save file habitually.

Freemium

The Sims FreePlay is, as the title of the game might imply, free to play. It does, however, have some optional microtransactions that help fund the game developer, EA, and give you some added convenience. What I intend to explore in this section is the question: can you play and enjoy this game without spending any (or much) money? The first glaring issue came when I went to build the fire station was that the game wanted me to wait 60 minutes for the completion of the station. This was alleviated by the fact that this was the tutorial section, as they gave me the LP-the premium currency- for free at the moment. This seems to be a common issue- as when I went to build a new home, and had to wait for it to complete. The wait times so far do not seem insufferable, but as you progress in the game, this could change. Every action you take takes time to complete, which you can speed up by paying real money- from building that Fire Station to telling your neighbor a funny joke.

There are also other things you can spend your money on, such as cupcakes- a way to immediately get all of your meters into the green. This is purely a convenience item, and isn’t necessary in any way- if you don’t feel like tending to your Sim’s needs, you can spend a little money and you don’t have to! There are also premium furniture and clothing options, but these appear to be entirely cosmetic and don’t have any significant effect on gameplay.

Overall, I’d give the game a B for its fremium features. There isn’t any driving need to purchase the LP premium currency except impatience. You also get a free LP currency point every time you level up-which, remember, you do by completing basic actions in the game. The reason I docked it from an A is the cost of the currency, which is a bit much. You can also purchase the in-game currency simoleons for real money as well. You can pick up a cheap pack of 15 LP for $3, which will allow you to speed up quite a few things.There are some specials as well, including a starter pack for $11 that gives you 15 LP, $30k simoleons, and some furniture.You do have the option to get free LP by installing apps, but some of these apps have some fairly shady permissions.

There are some interesting product placement quests- I got one that gave me a free Phillips Sonicare toothbrush, which served both to increase the health of my Sims and to advertise the product to me.

The Sims Free Play Simoleons, Lifestyle Points, and Unlock All Items Hack

The Sims Free Play requires you to have a lot of simoleons and lifestyle points to get through the game, which costs real money and this is something most people don’t want to be spending money on. AppGameCheats recently added a free hack for The Sims FreePlay, which gives you unlimited simoleons, lifestyle points, and also gives you the ability to unlock all items. This hack tool is safe to use and completely free, and you can download this hack for both iOS and Android devices.

Check out the picture below to see how easy it is to use, and the directions are fairly simple even if you have never downloaded a hack or cheat before.

You will need to download the cheat for The Sims Free Play, right here at AppGameCheats, which takes about 30 seconds to download. It will automatically install, and it should take about 45 seconds, but it depends on your internet speed.

You will then select which device you are running the game on, such as iOS or Android, and then you can input how many lifestyle points and simoleons you want to add to the game, and you can check the box to unlock all items as well.

Once you get that done, click “Start” to begin the hack tool, and it should take less 45 seconds to finish. You can then open The Sims Free Play on your device like normal, and you will see the items are right there in your account and ready to use.

Cheats & Tips

There aren’t any ‘cheats’ necessarily, but I can provide a few pointers for saving some money and progressing quickly.

Remember, you get 1 LP everytime you level up, so keeping your Sims all happy (every meter in the green) will provide you a good boost to your XP earned, ensuring optimal progression.

Use the Mystery Box quests (one of which is mentioned above as the Phillips Sonicare toothbrush) every day, as you complete them each day, you get progressively better rewards! Make sure you log in each day.

Ensure you’re logging in often enough to tend to your sims and keep them happy– buying cupcakes is a quick way to bring all of your sims back to the green so you get more XP, but it’s wasteful of your LP, when you can keep them in the green by just playing often enough.

That said, don’t be afraid to spend your Life Points, either. There’s no point to a currency if it’s just sitting around on your screen unused. Use your Life Points to get buildings completed quickly, or to speed up any long actions while you’re wanting to actively play the game. Remember, as you play and earn XP, you get more Life Points by leveling up, so if you have to spend some to make some, it all evens out.

The Starter Pack is a great purchase to start you out, for only $11 you get a good amount of simoleons and life points, along with some furniture.

Our Personal Ratings

Artwork: While the Sims FreePlay naturally doesn’t hold a candle to the latest iteration of the series Sims 4, it’s certainly a smoother experience than Sims 2, and is quite a beautiful game in comparison to a great number of the cheap app store apps available currently. You can see some pretty close detail- while you certainly can’t read the words on the newspaper hat my character wears everywhere, you can easily tell it’s a newspaper hat. The game is advertised as optimized for tablets- and the UI certainly works out well for this. 8/10

Music & SFX: The Sims FreePlay does a fairly decent job of music and sound effects, but much like all of the other Sims games, the music does get repetitive after a short time.This is a standard problem with most apps, though, and the fact that I played long enough for this to happen means it’s a good game overall. 7/10

Story & Originality: This category is where the game falls flat. The Sims has remained virtually the same from the first iteration. There are other spinoffs that change the gameplay significantly, such as SimCity or some of the expansion packs for Sims 2 and 3, but FreePlay is the standard formula- reduced. There isn’t the vast number of furniture options, and those that are there are there are locked behind level walls. There is no driving narrative in the game, as there hasn’t been one in most of the mainstream Sims games. 5/10

General Gameplay: The Sims has always been a great game, with solid mechanics. This hasn’t changed in the mobile adaptation of the series. You feed, bathe, clean up after, send to work, start social interaction and generally act as a God to a group of people that you create on your own from a list of characteristics- it’s a great game, and you should try it if any of this review has sounded appealing. The mechanic that makes you wait to encourage microtransactions. I’ve marked a single point off for that, because, as shown above, it’s not that big of a deal. 9/10

Addictiveness: This has always been the single greatest draw to the Sims series- it’s pure cocaine- at least in terms of its addictiveness.’The appeal of constantly catering to a group of people you create yourself appeals to a certain paternal instinct, and heralds back to the time of the Tomodachi pets that you would constantly tend to. I found myself constantly pulling my phone out of my pocket to see how my little virtual newspaper-hatted me was doing, and was genuinely a little concerned when I opened it once and found him incredibly disgruntled. 10/10

Overall: 8/10 Definitely give this one a try, especially considering it’s free!
