Sims 3 and Sim City Deluxe for Android

[Bubblepopmei]

I read before that EA doesn't seem to support Android. There is a Sim City Metropolis app that really is a clunky mobile phone platform application, but there I am looking for the same quality that iPad has with Sim City Deluxe.

Has Sim City Deluxe been released for Android? Is there some way of installing the iPad version successfully on a Samsung Galaxy tablet?

Is the Sims 3 game that is available for Android the same quality as iPad or is it a clunky mobile phone version?

While I cant say if its the same exact version as the iPad I can say that its a good fully 3d game not a cheap Java based game like you are referring to.

I am also looking for a good city building game similar to sim city. Does anyone have any recommendations?

 

[Vanquished]

The closest thing to one (not positive on this though) would probably be Settlers by Gameloft. Even that is more of a RTS though.

Don't get Settlers, it's garbage. Make sure you get Settlers HD, it's a completely different game, a proper game, also from GameLoft.

 

[Vanquished]

Settlers HD is what I meant...I forgot they had even released another version prior to it. Currently Settlers HD is only available on Gameloft's site, but they have been releasing titles on the Market lately so it may be there in the future as well.

Supposedly Gameloft was going to release their games on the Amazon Appstore but we have yet to see a single one there.

I'd love to play Settlers HD, it looks great. Come on GameLoft, support the SGS2!

So according to the Motorola announcements of the Xoom Family Edition, it includes Sim City Deluxe.

But I can't seem to confirm this anywhere. Is it true? Or just a marketing screwup?

Is there some way of installing the iPad version successfully on a Samsung Galaxy tablet?

 

[Rastor]

No, iOS apps are developed using very different languages and APIs, there's no possible way of installing them on an Android tablet.

 

[Rastor]

This is driving me crazy, I just saw that the T-Mobile Galaxy Tab 10.1 was also supposed to come with Sim City Deluxe:
T-Mobile announces a pair of tablets - the Springboard and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 | Android Central

Has anybody actually seen Sim City Deluxe running on an Android tablet?

I retracted my info since it is now up on the market as per Rastor's post below.

Go get it, it is worth it!

 

[Rastor]

Looks like EA finally put it in the Android market. Yay!

Stupid of them to wait so long!

Just got Sim City Deluxe on my Bionic. It is awesome. Even has the real Sim City Music in it.

This game crashes with an out of memory error on my 3D after about 15 min. Anyone else have this or have any solutions? Thanks.

I would recommend you reboot your phone. I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's a sure fire fix, but sometimes just a reboot makes apps behave better.

Just noticed the reviews today all say the same thing. Once your city gets large it runs your phone out of memory quickly. Bummer.

 

[jerofld]

Ah, so it's just a port of the PC version

...great...

LOL. Well that is one way to look at it...

 

[mhemming]

I cannot save the large city that I have created. I get an out of memory error when I try and save. I'm using a HTC Desire HD phone, Is there a FIX?
