This game provides multiple tasks such as serving at a community café, accomplishing missions, and acquiring unique wardrobes from the second-hand store. With its strong focus on cooperative play, it’s aiming to deliver an exceptional Sims adventure.

Back in October 2022, it was unveiled that Sims 5, or Project Rene, indeed exists – this revelation came about when the mobile version of the game was confirmed following a playtest. In a development update in 2023, it has been officially announced that the game will be free-to-play, meaning players won’t need to buy any core components to enjoy it.

You’re invited to join your friends in a beta testing of the City Life Game, available on the Google Play Store. However, at this moment, individuals outside of Australia and the Philippines will have to be patient as they wait for their turn. This beta test is designed to evaluate specific game features, and it may not reflect the final product. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, feel free to discuss them on our Discord server.
