The Sims Freeplay Coming Soon From EA

Fans of popular EA franchise The Sims have never failed to find delights on the App Store. With four different varieties encompassing the original, Ambitions, World Adventures and Medieval, there's plenty of fun to be had. However, there's nothing replicating Facebook game The Sims Social. That is until now.

Coming to the App Store next month will be The Sims Freeplay, an entirely new game that bears a lot of similarities to other freemium games. It'll be the kind of title that players can check in on throughout the day with The Sims world running constantly in the background. Players will get the chance to create up to 16 customized Sims, design their dream homes, care for pets, grow gardens and even find some time for baking too. A goals system which will presumably tie in with the career potentials of the Sims means that there'll always be something new to do. There will also be the near obligatory in-app purchases we've all come to expect from freemium titles.

The Sims Freeplay is set for release next month. For now, check out the screenshots below for a taste of what's to come.
