Is The Sims FreePlay safe for my kids?

This app is safe for older kids and teens, but parents should be able to judge if their child is ready for this game.

The app gets its rating due to fantasy violence, partial nudity, sexual/suggestive content, and crude humor. Parents probably don’t want their young ones seeing this type of thing, but they might let older kids play at their own discretion. These elements aren’t crucial to the gameplay, but they’re common occurrences that kids are sure to see. Characters might have blurred out body parts as they jump in the shower, and some characters “woo-hoo” under the blankets to produce a child.

The Sims is definitely popular with the teen and young adult crowd, and the game is updated with new content quite often. Kids can play this game without interacting with other real life players, so their device and location can stay safe.

Parents should know that The Sims is a game that requires a serious time commitment. Kids can spend hours creating a home, customizing the look and style of their character, and passing virtual days away. It’s a good idea to set time limits for playing with this app. There are other Sims apps out there, including The Sims Mobile and SimCity BuildIt.
