EA's bringing The Sims back to iOS as a realtime free-to-play title.As its name implies, Sims FreePlay is a free-to-play title monetized completely through optional In-App Purchases. Like The Sims Social on Facebook, gameplay takes place in realtime, meaning day/night cycles follow a real-world 24-hour clock. Rather than sit and play for long stretches, players will be encouraged to pop in throughout the day to check in on their sim.
