Electronic Arts and its Maxis division announced the worldwide launch of The Sims Mobile, the latest in a series of games that lets you play with simulated people in a range of environments.

The game had been in testing for many months, and it is now available on iOS and Android. It’s the latest in a series that lets players express their creativity by creating Sims with unique personalities, relationships, hobbies, and careers. The idea is to close the gap between the mobile version of the franchise with the PC-based title, The Sims 4, which is one of EA’s most popular games.
