Way too much money required to play
I lost my team of over 10 years in one upgrade
Game developers constantly making changes that ruin the game for players. Game is nothing but constant ads. I’ve played this game for 5 years and wth the changes this week I am quitting. Anything requested by players to improve is ignored but other changes which make no sense in the game are added by people who obviously don’t play their own game. Do not download or play this mockery of the old sims game we used to love to play.
6* yay
