'''''The Sims FreePlay''''' is a [[wikipedia:Free-to-play|free-to-play]] iOS, Android and Windows Phone game from [[FireMonkeyFiremonkeys Studios]]. It was released worldwide on December 15, 2011 for iOS<ref>http://venturebeat.com/2011/11/29/ea-shows-mobile-and-social-games-for-winter-fun-from-battlefield-3-aftershock-to-a-new-tetris/</ref> and February 15, 2012 for Android.<ref>https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ea.games.simsfreeplay_na</ref> An Amazon Kindle Fire version was released on September 27, 2012<ref>http://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Arts-Inc-Sims-Freeplay/dp/B009HKL4B8</ref> and a Windows Phone 8 version was released on September 14, 2013.<ref>http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/the-sims-freeplay/b8deb98f-ccc1-4ca4-96fc-3723940335b5</ref> 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, in a normal ''[[The Sims]]'' PC game, 1 hour of game time is one minute. However, in FreePlay, 1 hour really is ''one hour''. On July 21, 2014, Firemonkeys Studios announced there will be no further updates on the Windows Phone 8.<ref>https://help.firemonkeys.com.au/hc/en-us/articles/201942044-Windows-Phone-8-No-Further-Updates</ref>

* ''The Sims FreePlay'' is the third game in [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]] to require an Internet connection (the first is ''[[The Sims Online]]'' and the second being ''[[The Sims Social]]'').<ref>http://help.ea.com/article/sims-freeplay-faq</ref>
* ''The Sims FreePlay ''is the first game to receive an MA15+ for "strong crude humour" by the Australian Classification Board, which prevents minors under 15 years from getting the game without a parent or an adult guardian (all previous Sims games have been rated M or lower, which are advisory ratings).<ref>[http://www.classification.gov.au/Pages/View.aspx?sid=Laq54P6cWNkqxX6B98uUBg%253d%253d&ncdctx=LegN4Kv4%2bL%2by53IlaQ%252f81U0WRMtwJ6rcxYcyAZXELLFh%252fTW%2bFfl%252f0N%252fqJijTVj4pqtOrMnZhfpkPj2kR0y4fNUeFiwRIAsbED5iJ5BpDMxZqawLmVA0tWHsHBG9lWpXU Australian Age-Rating]</ref>
* Originally, FreePFreePlay used ''[[The Sims 3]]''&#39;s logo<ref>[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/1/1a/The_Sims_3_Logo.png/revision/latest?cb=20130423000432 ''The Sims 3'' logo]</ref><ref>[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/e/e6/The_Sims_FreePlay_Logo.png/revision/20131129013001 ''The Sims FreePlay'' logo used from December 2011 to December 2015]</ref> with the difference being that ''3'' next to ''The Sims'' was omitted and replaced with ''FreePlay'', ''The Sims'' itself is also higher on the [[Plumbob]] compared to ''TS3''. As of version 5.15.2 (Christmas 2015), FreePlay now uses ''[[The Sims 4]]''&#39;s logo,<ref>[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/1/12/The_Sims_4_Logo.png/revision/latest?cb=20130805025413 ''The Sims 4'' logo]</ref> the difference also being that the ''4'' next to ''The Sims'' was replaced with ''FreePlay''. The new logo also omits the string and hole next to ''FreePlay''.
** Another change is the Plumbob was changed to the one used in ''The Sims 4''.<ref>[https://thegirlwhogames.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/img_2908.jpg image showing comparison of old and new logo, loading screen and Plumbob]</ref>
* ''FreePlay's'' [[Time]] feature originated from the [[The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)|DS version of ''The Sims 2'']].
Line 181 ⟶ 234:
* ''FreePlay'' is the first game that has a changing icon.
* ''FreePlay'' is updated every 6 weeks.
* ''FreePlay'' uses sound effects and music from ''The Sims 3'' PC. Also the designs of the Sims were also the same designs used in the smartphone version of ''The Sims 3'' as well.
* There are lots of NPCs in ''Freeplay'', players have control over every created Sim in the town. All Sims in the town are added by the players with the exception of Sims you help with quests. I.e. Osiris (a space alien), Bree, the park ranger, and others.
* HateworkplacesAll workplaces (except the profession workplaces) and the school are [[rabbit hole]]s.
*[[File:Sicksim.jpg|thumb|A sim sick from shaking the device too many times]]''FreePlay'' features pee puddles appearing when a sim has bladder failure; this differs from the PC games, which only create a puddle of water. A pee-cleaning robot can be purchased for this. In addition, shaking the device may make a sim vomit, which also remains in a puddle until cleaned, unlike the PC games.
*''FreePlay'' pulled many of its animations from ''The Sims 3'' (smartphone). However, some have been modified since first being pulled, such as the kissing animation.
*When the animation was first implemented, 'WooHoo' took place standing, with the two adult sims changing into their underwear and coming together under a mosaic-blur for five minutes. Eventually the animation was changed to take place in a bed instead like the PC games.
*[[File:Darksecrethouse.jpg|thumb|The house named "Dark Secret." Notice the blocked door and chamber in the back of the lot, as well as three sim-sized flower patches.]]One house featured in ''FreePlay,'' which can be bought for 14 LP, is named 'Dark Secret.' It is a mostly black-and-white home that features a doorway hidden behind two closets that leads to a hallway and a small room with a chair, a table, and some chains. It is unknown what the lore behind this house is.
