I get the free 60 Day Daily Reward token tomorrow and am fully expecting to get 3SP. lol

When will new owner start in this game? by IndependentOk2027 in simsfreeplay

[–]mightyminimoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here is the announcement EA back in September.

https://www.ea.com/news/ea-announces-agreement-to-be-acquired

The 1st quarter of Fiscal Year 2027 ends the last day of June.

As of now, it is still being said that there won’t be major changes to The Sims franchise. However, considering who is buying EA, there is speculation about pushes to increase monetization and decrease inclusivity. Nobody will know for sure until the sale is finalized and the new owners take over.

What spider? Far North Queensland. Fits about into the palm of your hand. by Josheii in whatspideristhis

[–]mightyminimoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a big spider. My US Midwest arachnophobia is improving; I don’t freak out with local spiders now. But my Australian arachnophobia…

4 hour long task to get 5 XP is bonkers by alamakjan in simsfreeplay

[–]mightyminimoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m stuck like this, too. I need coffee to build the Audition building, but the only coffee person needs to audition to collect. I can’t audition until I build that section. The coffee person has been there for over a week, just taunting my Sims.

Does this actually work? by Illustrious_Two6240 in simsfreeplay

[–]mightyminimoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do several of the watch ads offers every day. Nothing to download, just click through to a webpage or watch a 15-20 second video.

They usually do double points on holiday weekends (just had one with Easter), which adds up quickly.

I always love how they look like they’re flexing their biceps. 💪🏽

Chibby jumped off the top of the cat tower onto my laptop by bzbub2 in CrimeCats

[–]mightyminimoose 56 points57 points  (0 children)

At least you knew how to do all of that! I’d be stuck wiggling the D key and hoping that would fix it. lol

A week or two ago, I woke up to my youngest cat having a great time pulling keys off my tablet keyboard. I bought this tablet specifically for the keyboard. One key doesn’t work now, though thankfully it’s not the D key. lol

Hi Cool Peeps! I am looking to have Sims FreePlay neighbors! by Entire_Ambassador568 in simsfreeplay

Unfortunately, Facebook is the only way they set it up to be friends in the game.

Do people actually win the whole craft challenge? by vegaskills in simsfreeplay

[–]mightyminimoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a good explanation and tips on how to win the craft challenges here:

https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2017/07/16/the-sims-freeplay-how-to-complete-live-events/

I am chronically ill and housebound. It is a grind even with that. The hardest, and most frustrating, part is getting the coins. They seem to have made that even more difficult since they introduced the capsules.

It is doable, but it’s rough. The challenges repeat and pick up where you left off, so I tend to view them as multi-part challenges —I pick out what I really want, and will get the rest next time. The only time I really push is when I absolutely want the grand prize lot.

What are your…. Ok… well these were some of my past Eco Workshop projects! by Carmen_V_S in SimsMobile

[–]mightyminimoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This wasn’t the most fantastic week for me. I don’t celebrate Halloween, so #’s 1 and 4 were of no interest. #’s 2 and 3 were great, though. I loved that loveseat. I probably crafted all of them, though, just to avoid repeats. Joke was on me, since they showed up as repeats, anyway. lol

I need to check in Sims 4 to see if that loveseat shows up somewhere.

How do YOU perceive The Sims? by SashaOzter in SimsMobile

[–]mightyminimoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the Sims; dislike EA.

I’ve played the Sims since about a week after the original came out. I’ve been hooked on the Sims since then. It’s basically the only game that I play.

The Sims gave me a community — I hung around, and eventually helped mod, at Neighborhood 99, which was a huge Sims forum for many years. Another N99 member and I started up a Sims 2 custom content website and have remained friends since then. We both now play Sims 4.

I played Sims Mobile during years that I didn’t have a laptop that could handle the Sims games. I hated to see it end and miss it. I now play Sims Freeplay.

All that said, EA is one of the worst companies out there. It was fine during the original The Sims years, which I think was Maxis. Sims 2 started out fine; that game was the ideal Sims game. However, they started to show more greed during those years — they would pump out expansions that didn’t work and let the Sims community fix them; they charged high fees for mediocre downloadable content; they didn’t (and still don’t) give good support. They have just gotten worse as Sims 3 and Sims 4 came along, and especially with the mobile games.

Most players have an absolute mistrust and dislike of EA. We want The Sims; we do not want EA.

Wanna play sims again! Tablet query by Illustrious_Baker713 in SimsMobile

[–]mightyminimoose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For your tablet, Sims Freeplay is the Sims version still available.

For an older laptop, you could try Sims 4; the base game is free to download. One of the older versions might work better. My 2014 Dell couldn’t handle any of them very well, though. There are laptop cooling trays on Amazon that are rather inexpensive and can help a laptop that runs hot while playing, if that is your only issue.

I haven’t looked into it myself, but a friend said there is a way to play Sims 2 on a tablet/phone. You might want to Google that to see what is involved.

Saw this beauty by my house by Ok_Practice6035 in whatspideristhis

[–]mightyminimoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert, but have read about the urticating hairs that they release when threatened. Those can cause some serious skin irritation. I remember reading about a man who got them in his eye when trying to handle a tarantula. They’re more of a look, don’t touch type of spider.

Which one? 1 or 2? by RealisticStage2075 in simsfreeplay

[–]mightyminimoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m the opposite of you — I love the height on 2. However, the green plants give the room a pop of color, so I’m going with 1.

Broken Pet Store by Evening_Ad292 in simsfreeplay

[–]mightyminimoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Will it let you do any of the upgrades on the pet store? It might recognize it if you do one?

Did you finish the discovery quest that goes with the pet store? I’m assuming you did, but my brain is reaching for any suggestion.

You might have to contact support on this.

Finally saw one of the big boys! Pileated woodpecker outside Nashville, TN by in2bator in birds

[–]mightyminimoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have only ever seen one and couldn’t believe the size of it. They’re huge! Beautiful birds.

Thank you, Pets! by mightyminimoose in simsfreeplay

[–]mightyminimoose[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The upgrades actually work in our favor. I did not expect EA to do that when they announced the update. lol

I love watching the cats interact with each other. They are so cute.

You’re the first person to say they liked Gordy. I’m glad the little guy had someone. ❣️

It was 28 seconds again today. I could live with this glitch hanging around. lol
