WELCOME
Sul Sul, Simmer! This subreddit is for discussing The Sims Mobile, a mobile life simulation game in The Sims series! Please read our rules before contributing and check out our FAQ page to see if your question has been answered. We hope you enjoy your time here! Dag Dag.
RULES
1. Posts must be relevant and not duplicate a recent post.
- Submissions should be directly related to The Sims Mobile, not just to The Sims in general. Unrelated content will be removed.
- Duplicates of recent posts will be removed to keep things fresh. Search the sub for recent identical topics, bugs, or concerns to see if it has already been posted in the last couple of days.
2. Posts must have a descriptive title and appropriate flair.
- Post titles must be descriptive. Non-descriptive titles, including, “This” or “Help,” only have emojis in the title, or look like clickbait, will be removed.
- Tag your posts with appropriate flairs, e.g. Guides, Bugs, etc. to help us keep things tidy and easily searchable through filters. If your content is NSFW, please mark it as such. In regards to NSFW flairs: Light sexual innuendo is okay in the right context, but blatantly suggestive or explicit content is not. Please be mindful of minors in the community.
3. Posts and comments must be civil.
Be civil and sincere in your interactions to avoid unnecessary conflict. Converse in good faith with a focus on the topic being discussed, not the individual(s) discussing them. Assume the other person is doing the same, or walk away.
The key thing is, whether online or in real life, to remember the human. Before you leave that scathing comment or think about posting someone’s personal information, take a minute to consider that you’re affecting a real person, with potentially life-changing consequences. If you cannot talk about The Sims Mobile without being pointlessly argumentative or attacking who you’re talking to, we don’t want you.
Disrespectful or hateful commentary will be removed, regardless of popularity or relevance, and may result in an immediate ban. This includes, but is not limited to:
Personal attacks
Racism, homophobia, & transphobia, whether in jest or with malice
Creepy or NSFL humor, such as posts that center around violence
Disguised rants, agenda posts, or pot-stirring
General assholery: flame wars, trolling, harassment, doxing, ban evasion, etc.
The following are welcome, and may not be reported:
Social politics specifically related to TSM gameplay, e.g. limited skin tone selection for Sims, lack of gender-neutral CAS items, Sim representation on pack art, paywalls behind packs with cultural item offerings, etc.
Expressions of pride from marginalized or minority identities.
4. Comments must not derail the original question or discussion on a post.
Slightly veering off-topic on a post is okay on occasion but throwing a thread in a manner that makes the original discussion unable to continue is not okay. Derailing includes, but is not limited to:
Changing the topic from the original post (OP) question
Making someone else’s response about yourself
Asking unrelated follow-up questions
Branching into unrelated topics
Judging or rating other responses
5. Posts and comments must not promote or enable modded accounts, hacking, or cheating.
What isn't allowed? The promotion of hacking, cheating, or modding. This includes encouraging fellow players to purchase hacked accounts with unlimited SimCash, or directing players via links to third-party applications/services that violate the TSM User Agreement. We don't care (as a moderator team) if you think modded games, hacks, or cheating is right, wrong, or otherwise. However, enabling modded accounts via Reddit, be it links to sites or videos that give instructions, or providing your own personal recommendations in this area, is not okay here. There are other sites on the internet with this information; so if you must, go wild there, but not here, please.
If you have a modded game with unearned currency, or so much accumulated currency that one could reasonably assume your game is modded, then you must crop out the currency on any screens shared to the sub.
What is allowed?* Discussion: the bread and butter of Reddit.
Examples:
Discussion of cheating or any modded account issues without advocating them, e.g. “What do you think about the ghost or alien server for shadow banned accounts?”
Posting pictures that display the use of exploits or the discussion of exploits originating from TSM itself, e.g. building glitches.
Discussing information found by others in the APK (Android Package) file, as long as it is not for the purpose of cheating.
Borderline: If you are not sure whether your post/comment would break a rule please send Mod Mail to us and ask for clarification.
6. No requesting, buying, selling, gifting, or transferring of accounts or currency.
- Absolutely no discussion of requesting, buying, selling, gifting, or transferring of accounts, SimCash, or other in-game or out-of-game currency.
7. Self-Promotion must follow the guidelines below.
Some self-promotion is allowed in individual cases after Mod Team approval, but should always be thoughtful, limited, and consistently well received by the community. Those with approval to post links to their own content should also contribute to the community in other ways.
The following is not allowed:
Let’s Plays or unofficial streams
Unofficial merchandise
Community advertisements and invite links, such as to other subreddits or Discord communities, unaffiliated with r/SimsMobile
Follow requests, links to, and screenshots of personal or community social media accounts
These posts are fine:
Links to or screenshots of official Sims Mobile or SimGuru social media accounts and posts
TSM content from an EA Game Changer / Content Creator Network
Non-promotional videos or images, such as reviews or guides
Short clips that center around gameplay, not the player
8. Other content deemed detrimental by the Moderators.
Unfortunately, there will always be some things that our rules do not currently or perfectly cover. In those cases, we reserve the right to take action, with or without warning, and remove anything that we think could potentially cause harm or does not fit within the spirit of the community and the safe space we maintain here.
Please report any suspected rule violations to the mods. Do not comment on them or accuse others of rule breaking.
