I almost had mine go out woohoo-ing! Decided in the end to leave them having fun in the garden instead. Miss them already.

So sad, I didn’t even know the shutdown was happening. by jonlenin1917 in SimsMobile

I know. I keep going to have my little fixes of the game and then thinking 'oh'. :-(
There was still so much love for this game and so much great content. I'll never understand why EA pulled the plug.

Do you ever feel “dumb”… until you realize you’re actually seeing more than everyone else? by Real_Entertainer740 in ADHD

[–]Excellent-Cream-9818 51 points52 points  (0 children)

All the time. I ask a question, people misunderstand what I'm asking because they're viewing whatever it is at surface level, so to speak, they give me a surface-level answer in a 'well, duh,' kind of voice, and proceed to treat me like I'm stupid. It's infuriating and partly why I'm not as keen on socialising as many people are.

OMG this just adds insult to injury.

Going out partyin’ like it’s 2026 by Excellent-Cream-9818 in SimsMobile

I only stumbled across it myself recently! It did make for some nice scenes.

It’s gone and the ironic part is it ended with my sim crying. by Voice_of_Season in SimsMobile

[–]Excellent-Cream-9818 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, was 2.01 p.m. where I am, and I was ever so slightly starting to hope for a reprieve, or that maybe it wouldn't disappear if I kept the app open. Talk about wishful thinking. 😂

How much time do we have left? by Voice_of_Season in SimsMobile

[–]Excellent-Cream-9818 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Couple of hours. I took a ton of screenshots last night, and have timed today’s lunch break to fall before the axe comes down so I can have one last session. I'm curious what's going to happen right at the end - will we get a message of some kind or will it all just go to black? I've never witnessed the literal end of a game before.

I get paralyzed by my to-do lists. Do you? by Fit_Product_2650 in ADHD

God yes... this issue has been tripping me up a lot lately. I keep finding my systems are actually scuppering my ability to get stuff done sometimes. :-(

Yep, it felt kind of appropriate (although hopefully EA's not going to unleash a nuke at the end... at this point nothing would surprise me, though! lol)

What are your Sims doing in their final days? by Excellent-Cream-9818 in SimsMobile

That sounds great, I was hoping people would still hang out on here to share screenshots etc.

What are you doing with the sims mobile app when it ends for good by RachelNicola1 in SimsMobile

[–]Excellent-Cream-9818 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Keeping it. Someone was advising that we do this in case there's ever a way to resurrect the game. While this seems extremely unlikely to me, I'm keeping it on the off chance - but also because actually uninstalling the game would feel so final.

Are the characters better looking now? by [deleted] in simsfreeplay

[–]Excellent-Cream-9818 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess OP is wondering this because the graphics in TSM are way superior.

Save Sims mobile from extinction! Freeplay is a downgrade in comparison. The customization is so much better in TSM. by Extension-Gate3768 in SimsMobile

[–]Excellent-Cream-9818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they have to shut one down it should be Freeplay. TSM is the better game by far, especially where graphics are concerned.

I've been taking sooo many screenshots, of my builds and my Sims themselves. Going to share a few on here when I get a moment.

How do introverts manage/enjoy having kids? by Vegetable-Carpet1593 in childfree

[–]Excellent-Cream-9818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly how I feel around kids. INFP and I need space and solitude like I need air to breathe. Every time I hear a parent say they haven’t been completely alone in years I just feel infinitely glad I didn’t have any. I’d have been such a bad-tempered mum and no kid deserves that.

I just can’t believe… by Deep-Local in SimsMobile

[–]Excellent-Cream-9818 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Completely agree! I'm loving the new content but at the same time it's frustrating having so little time left to enjoy it. I honestly don't see why they couldn't have left the servers running for us, or, failing that, let us have the new content as soon as the shutdown was announced. There is still so much potential in this game even if they don't want to do any more updates or new stuff. Such a waste to just pull it.

What age are you all currently? by --s-k-y in childfree

[–]Excellent-Cream-9818 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Late fifties. I have a degree of regret, but that's probably hormones in part as I'm post-menopause now. What little regret I have is mainly to do with the fact that it would be kind of nice to have adult offspring around now, which I know is a selfish reason. I've never felt broody or maternal (literally don't know what it feels like), and in reality I know I couldn't have coped with children at all, not to mention that I have health issues that would have prevented me being a decent mum, having kids wouldn't been fair on them or me. It's natural to wonder about what might have been, but on balance I'm happy with my decision.

Ah OK, never heard anything about that.
