The Sims FreePlay

The Sims FreePlay is a Free-To-Play iOS and Android game from Iron Monkey. It was released worldwide on December 15, 2011 for iOS and February 15, 2012 for Android. It is the first Sims game released on the iPad. It differs from the regular Sims game in that it uses regular time. For example, such as a normal The Sims PC game, 1 hour of game time is one minute. However in Freeplay, 1 hour really is one hour.

Trivia

 * The Sims FreePlay is the third game in The Sims series to require an Internet connection (the first is The Sims Online and the second being The Sims Social).
 * FreePlay's Time feature originated from the DS version of The Sims 2.
 * FreePlay is the first game not to use the name Child in the life stage. Instead, they are called Pre-Teens. This would make Child the first life stage in The Sims series to have its name changed.
 * FreePlay is the first The Sims game to support the iPad's fullscreen.
 * FreePlay is the first game to have more than 8 Sims being able to be controlled at the same time without having to change a household, although pets cannot be controlled.
