== Gameplay ==
In ''The Sims Mobile'', players are able to create unique Sims with the in-game character creator (Create-a-Sim), build houses, start families and control the lives of their Sims.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-mobile/news/sims-mobile-10-things |title=10 Things to Get You Excited About The Sims Mobile |website=[[Electronic Arts]] |access-date=March 14, 2018}}</ref> The game introduces multiplayer elements, as players can 'interact with other players' Sims by attending their parties, tapping on an NPC (non-playable character), or rating their Sims as through a sticker system.
Similarly to previous mobile games in ''[[The Sims]]'' franchise, energy is used when players take actions with their Sims. Energy can be restored through SimCash, which is earned through in-game quests and micro-transactions. SimCash can also be used to purchase certain premium clothing and furniture options in the game.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.pocketgamer.biz/the-iap-inspector/67730/how-does-the-sims-mobile-monetise/ |title=How does The Sims Mobile monetise? |last=Suckley |first=Matt |date=March 13, 2018 |website=[[Pocket Gamer]] |access-date=March 14, 2018}}</ref>
Unlike its predecessor ''[[The Sims FreePlay]]'', ''The Sims Mobile'' offers a closer experience to the PC series of games. There is a focus on telling stories through Sim's actions, chosen by the player as their Sims go through their career or make relationships. As Sims play through these stories, they are able to level up and unlock new cutscenes. Advancing stories may also unlock new furniture or clothing items.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://toucharcade.com/2018/03/06/the-sims-mobile-review/ |title=The Sims Mobile Review |last=Ford |first=Eric |date=March 6, 2018 |website=[[TouchArcade]] |access-date=March 30, 2018}}</ref>
