The Sims 3 (Mobile)
When seeing the game in the app store, you may think this game is the mobile version of The Sims. But it's far from it. When the game begins, you start create a sim, which lacks any decent content and you can only create one sim. You enter the neighborhood and can not choose your own home. Instead, you're given a pre-built house that you can't really change or add on to since there is NO BUILD MODE. Sure, there is a buy mode but it's almost useless due to the game already having decent furniture in your house. Once you get a job, it's pretty much just fulfilling your needs. You can have a romantic relationship but it doesn't go very far. You can't have babies, make your own house, or really do anything. There is about 30 minutes or LESS of gameplay in this app and then it's probably going to be deleted from your device or it'll sit there until you get bored at an airport or something.

The Sims 3: Ambitions (Mobile)
I won't write a full review on the game because it's the same as the game above. It just adds a few more jobs and stereotypical outfits. Other than that, it's the same exact game. It's not an expansion pack. It's a separate game. The only reason it's higher is because it adds a tiny bit more content from the bare bones of the original app.

The Sims Freeplay
This game is actually not horrible if you're patient, but most people aren't and the game seems more like a cash grab than anything. The game actually has goals that you can use to level up and unlock more things, which in my opinion is cool because I tend to get bored without some sort of aim in the game, but since the whole idea about the game is that it's "freeplay," you should be able to do what you want or choose between two different modes. The sims interactions are pretty cool as you can switch between which sim you're playing even though you may not be in your own lot. Other than that, the game is a huge cash grab. It runs in real time, which means you may have to wait 1 minute for a task to be finished or 8 hours, depending on what task it is. This is where the game is ruined. It could take weeks or even months to make any large amounts of progression due to the game being play-to-wait. Except you never seem to play as you just tap an interaction for all the sims and then leave the app. There is so much content and stuff to do once you get far enough into the game but the whole real time thing really wrecks that concept and overall makes the app pretty mediocre.

The Sims 3: World Adventures (Mobile)
The concept of the game is the same as the other two mobile versions, but with this one you can travel to France, China, and Egypt. It adds some adventure and this is definitely the most entertaining mobile game. While that is true, it also still lacks any sort of decent gameplay and after about 30 minutes to an hour of gameplay, you wont return to the game.

The Sims 4
I don't hate The Sims 4 but it just seems to lack so much, even with all the new expansion packs and crazily priced stuff packs and game packs. Aside from the fortune all the content costs, the bare game seems to focus on the interactions with the world more than taking care of a sim and keeping a family together. I think this is a cool feature for the game but people who aim to create a great family will learn it's difficult to have fun while doing it. The game lacks kid content, even with expansion packs, and it just seems to be a game where your sim needs to be a 21 year old party animal in a clique.
