Life-Simulating Smartphone Games

'The Sims Mobile' Lets You Build a Virtual Family Tree

"The Sims Mobile" is the latest entry into the life simulation gaming franchise. Gaming company Electronic Arts (EA) revealed the game in a soft launch trailer. As the title suggests, "The Sims Mobile" was created for smartphones. It'll be available on both iOS and Android devices. While the new game is designed for smartphones it looks to be just as intense and thorough as past games in the franchise which were released for gaming consoles and computers.

In "The Sims Mobile" you can live a simulated life and have a family. However, you can also continue that family after your original Sim grows old and dies. There's a social element to the game as well, with players able to invite each other over for parties at their virtual houses. EA hasn't given the game a release date or mentioned if it will cost anything to download.
