For example, you don&rsquo;t need to maintain the friendship with other citizens, and they will always consider you as friends no matter about if you contact them frequently or not. You can even develop your relationship with every citizen to be your partner. (I try to do so, and it really works!)</span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"  class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'">- The main player (sim) in this game does not have free will to take actions unless their emergent needs need to be satisfied.(ex: hungry, tired)</span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"  class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'">- No new game content is added</span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"  class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'">In other words, there won&rsquo;t be any new citizen for you to discover, only 12 persons are available.</span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"  class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'">&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 24pt"  class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'">At very first beginning, I am keen on playing this version due to the loose design of the game. I am thinking I can achieve something I can&rsquo;t do it on the computer version. Well, after all, I must admit that I feel bored soon when I complete every single task. It is very interesting to note that when the difficulty is eliminated, the fun decreased. However, if the goal is not attainable, the fun will no more exist. </span></p>&nbsp; ]]></description>
