Disappointed
This game crashes way too much. I can’t really play it. Uninstalled.
Awful game!!
This game is so horrible! There are pervs, trolls, and so many bugs! A nine year old with a bad mouth was quite inappropriate on here, along with her quote on quote “mom”, Tori Hunt. I want them to be banned. I would give this zero starts if I could. I quit!
No me funciona
Lo acabo de bajar a mi iPhone 16 y solo se queda parado no camina no camina no me funciona estoy frustrada busco la manera y sigue hay y no tengo ni un menú para buscar controles, veo a todos caminando y yo estancada en el mismo lugar y tengo súper buena internet
Don’t waste your time
This game is sooooooo stupid you click on things you want to put in your house and it won’t even let you put it anywhere and i had to exit out of the app and go back to it to my character walk. I like the other sims freeplay game better cause that way you make it how you want and it isn’t confusing to do. Don’t get this game! You can’t do anything with your person or anything!
No
Look I’m sorry but this game is not for kids like why does it say 4+ but yet the girls are in like swim suits and stuff and just no like no 4 year old should be playing this 😑
Ayuda
Tan pronto entre me dejó parada no me permite caminar y no me sale ninguna opción.
I am an adult and PLEASE READ PARENTS ! 😔only adults
Sorry to ruin ur time but this game is not for kids there is people cussing 20 year olds playing this game you can tell they talk about sèx and stuff and my doughter can’t be around this she asked me what a condom is I said idk and left it at that but later that night I played the game and they were cussing making fun of each other and many other things making fun of people of color thanks for reading

Careers have not updated
I used to love playing this game and completing career quests. It’s been about 2-3 and they still have not updated part 2 of the restaurant story or vet story. That makes the game not fun or worth playing.
Will I play again the answer is NO!!!!!!
I want it to be like the sims and the characters are hard to do characters look ugly no and I hate online do not tell me to go to a email or website b/c I'm not doing it and not playing again no matter what
Fun but buggy…
I’d love to play it but it glitches every 5 minutes, from display issues to controls disappearing.
HOW DO YOU MOVE WITH IPHONE?!
1 STAR
Mad
Why is this game keep crashing every time I get in my car? Like what is going on here, it’s not cool to be playing and it just keeps crashing on you like that. What y’all going to do about it?
Chat is not kid appropriate
My 13 year old described some trustworthy adults playing that helped her report and avoid those who were being inappropriate, but if that skill is needed the age rating is incorrect.
She described chat limitations but also was able to make plans to meet up with someone playing. Anything where you chat with strangers is not for ages 4+

Age limit
This game should be 13 yrs and up not 4yrs especially since there is chatting online option to the unknown
Problem changed the wall color and the floor
Hi admin can you please help me? Some how I have problem with changing the color For the floor and the wall for my jet.i could change it after I log off and get back on everything is getting back to the original color again thankyou
Scam Artist
This app glitches out letting my 6 year old buy rubies after I only put my passcode in one time to buy one 4.99 bundle it turn around in seconds allowing her to keep buying all these rubies without asking for a password even tho this is how I have it set up! 140$ worth within 5 seconds how does that happen? Scam! This is a a scam and a glitch that allows this developer to gain money I did not approve these purchases as you can see on your side these where brought within seconds of each other! There has to be some checks and balances there is no way for me to put in my passcode seconds after each other! Why is there no measures to stop the app from stealing from the buyer? This is a glitch and why should I have to pay for a glitch I want this app reported for fraud! How many people have they done this to to gain money? There is no logical explanation that all those rubies where bought in seconds of each other please explain that to me?
I payed more and got something less
I payed $9.99 for a ruby pet and got a gold pet.👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽 I am so mad 😡

The game
Is cool I love it I been playing for two weeks now but I just bought a new house the small house and everytime I go to it it’s either empty with nothing I bought in it or the paint is off the wall I love the game but I think I’m gonna stop playing I’m tired of redecorating everytime I go to my new house because it won’t save OR when I leave and come back everything is gone I’ve been trying to figure out how to stop the glitch but no help !
UPDATE THE GAME
When will the game be updated so we can finally access the detective storyline??? Also, please fix the bugs!
Rude people
OK so you’re thinking there’s gonna be a lot of friends that are really nice to you but that’s wrong. There’s a lot of rude people that call you rats and all that and it’s not nice so pants please watch out for your child and there was a boy liking me and they’re asking me where I live and all that so please watch out.
Horrible 🤮🤮🤮🤮
This was a horrible game. You should’ve made it so you can customize your name to whatever you want not just the horrible names that are there. And you should’ve made it so you can do your character however you want without being told that there’s things you don’t own. This game was horrible and I deleted it in five minutes
Impossible to move
There is no way to move my character. There’s no controller apparatus or anything. Waste of time to download and a waste of phone space
Does not work on iPhone
There’s no way to make the character move around the world. It’s completely void of any kind of game moving aparatos.
Hiii
So I really really really really like this game called Virtual Sim Story: Life & Home but I can’t see anyone
Can you guys please help me out
Can you guys please help me out
DONT GET THIS GAME FOR YOUR KIDS!!!
For 1 the reports don’t even work! For 2 there are NASTY people on this game and it’s annoying. Good game and all. But chat filters are not strong enough! People find a way to bypass EVERYTHING. If the people who made the game see this, please make the chat filters stronger or make chat only available for 12 yr olds and older.
You create a character, and then what to do?
It’s impossible to play the game, movement doesn’t work and there aren’t even buttons to control the character! You create a character, and then what to do?
Its ok
Remove the ability to chat they're is children in game and can be dangerous. Also there should be npc.
To many bugs!
Fix the lag & bugs
Constantly crashes!!
Not only does it crash all the time but it glitches and is hard to walk around and see where you are going. I would love to be able to play & enjoy this game, it seems to have potential, but I just can’t play for more than a good 2 minutes before it crashes.
Good game BUT
Everytime I go to click on something like a task and it goes to load , it never actually does . I keep having to force close the app and its slightly annoying . As a new player with this type of experience its making it pretty hard to actually rate and play .. 2 stars for the tech issues
Work on the avatar and the house
First I love the game it giving everything I want in a game but how can I buy a bed and I will not be able to sleep on it and I will I buy a toilet and I can’t even make use of it same goes for the bathroom and I can’t take off my avatar clothes it just hard for me and it hard to make friends and the money they pay for work is small and why do everyone come out from only two hours I want to be able to come out of my own house it just
Nice but some of the people are not
So I was just playing when people said something offensive and saying bad words by using things like í ê and stuff like that and they said something really offensive but not only that but some people are just weird and mean. But sometimes if I’m lucky I make nice friends
Big big problem
First off the game is really really cool and really really interactive! However I am a 20 y/o female and I was bored looking for a game to play on my phone when I was at home relaxing and when I got on the game I though omg this is awesome! But after the basic tutorial for the game I was immediately messaged by people online. Not saying that it is a bad thing; But when you set the age for this game at 4+ there should be some way to turn that off completely with a password or something especially when the chat on the game is flooded with people/other children speaking of very inappropriate things. It’s very unsettling and weird. There is no way to turn the chat off completely. For a young child to see that is down right wrong! The chat for the game does try to censor most of the inappropriate things, but let’s be honest people are creative saying things like “hrny” and “as$”. The chat censor does not pick up things like that and it’s almost every person playing the game. At least when I played it. Before deleting it completely I though it was a cool game just extremely inappropriate don’t download this game especially for children!
read if you want to know a secret
so i used to love this game! i would ask people to hang out, adopt me (as a teen), and even date! But one day i was playing it and i noticed the talk bar thing and someone had said a bad word then everyone started cussing so i deleted it so if your a parent don't let your kid play if your anyone else who wants to play maybe don't. I mean the game shouldn't let you cuss in the game. so i hope this helped.
Keeps Crashing
This game has everything I was looking for in a kid friendly simulation game. Unfortunately, it’s barely playable with how often it crashes.
I love the concept, but …
The thing I have a problem with is how much it glitches. I just started playing and even with excellent service it takes a long time to load. When I went for the test drive all the cars from other players spawned in the same spot and obviously more than once with everyone because it freezes and nobody can figure out how to get it to drive. Also, it crashes and starts saying no internet connection and I have perfect connection. But wonderful graphics and concepts.
This is unacceptable
So basically when I downloaded the game, I was waiting for it to download and it just takes an awful long time to download. I’m extremely worried about the chat. I’m not sure if it’s up or anything, but when I’m reading their reviews saying that there is pedos and stuff like that, so please read this if you’re just downloading it hopefully you’re not five year old. I don’t think this game is for u
Fun but missing a lot of stuff
This game is fun but it’s lacking A LOT. First the character creation is lacking almost all POC items. Theres almost no hair past wavy texture and why do you have to pay for brown eyes? Not to mention there’s no tan skin colors only light ✋🏼and dark✋🏿. There’s no in between. And the game play is fun but why do so many task not give you any XP? Also I feel the gameplay needs more work when it comes to the pets. We should be able to play with them at our homes and buy things for them. They should be able to walk around the house and interact with stuff like real pets. It’s kinda boring and annoying that there’s barely anything to do with them.
Issues identified as a new user
I am a new user of the app, so my assessment is not going to be as detailed as the more seasoned users; however, my opinion matters nonetheless.
Prior to downloading the game, as I am accustomed to doing, I take to the reviews to glean information about gameplay, paywalls, etc. from established players. One of the issues that is a running theme is issues with glitching. From the start, I noticed the glitches in the loading screens and beyond. During my initial landing in the virtual world, I was not offered any mechanisms to move about or interact with the UI. I had to close the app and re-enter the virtual space to begin the tutorial and gain access to the UI controls.
While this game engenders the facets of a virtual mobile game I have dreamed of, there are evident problems that can easily be ironed out to enhance gameplay and the UIX. Judging by the absence of reviews that have been answered by the app developer, there is no concern about repairing the issues anytime soon, which may cause gameplay to fizzle out.

Good
It would be better if you could actually fall in love be and live together and have a family.
eh
i don’t ever do these but this game is a cool little game until everything you’re doing freezes and doesn’t let you do anything… i was trying to do the vet part and it would ask me to catch a duck and two other animals i caught the other animals but then took me forever to find a duck, once i finally did amd went to catch it it quit working… so i went out of the apps and tried again & it did the same thing. when i first downloaded it , it loaded halfway and froze…. i’ve had to go out of the app and back in about 6-7 times already and just downloaded it yesterday… fix this & this would be an amazing game…. i was shocked to see no one else having this problem.
