Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Used to be great. I would check on them several times per day. Now I can't play at all or my Sims will die! You can't become an expert at hobbies or jobs without actually doing that activity repeatedly, but if you are too active, they get old and die. Unless, of course, you want to spend lots of real money keeping them alive. I have no problem spending real money in-game, and I have spent a lot on this game, but not just to keep them alive. Isn't part of a Sim game that you control their lives, not the game itself? I also play Virtual Families. The characters age and die on that game as well, but they aren't as multi-dimensional as Sims, so I don't get as attached to them. Also, Virtual Families has a place you can go to view the previous generations and remember them if you want to. Until this update, Sims Freeplay was far superior to Virtual Families in terms of how much you could do and how many different choices you have, but when I was used to doing so much with my Sims and now if I do, they'll just die faster, it makes the game unplayable. Did they even do a customer focus group to see if this was something players wanted before they spent the time and money to build the update? Horrible game now.
