Games like The Sims on mobile

69 games · every one verified from its listing · updated Nov 10, 2026

What people miss from The Sims is rarely the brand — it is the dollhouse: a home you furnish, people with needs, days that fill themselves the moment you look away. These games get closest to that on a phone. Ranked by our indie score, with the store’s monetisation shown up front, because the biggest names in this genre are the most aggressive about it.
