The simulation games are those that reproduce, virtually, the various activities or jobs that can be done in real life.
Personally, I’m not a big lover of simulation games because they require time and effort.
But we can not deny that some of them are extremely engaging, able to immerse players in realistic dreams and, above all, useful for learning new things that, you never know, can be useful in real life.
The Google Play store hosts many simulation games, arranged in different categories: flight simulators, life simulations, business simulations and economics, games to manage the city, games for construction, war simulations and much more.
In this article, we have listed the best 10 free simulation games for Android smartphones and tablets and also for iPhone and iPad

The Sims for mobile phones is the same as the PC version, The Sims 2 and 3 and you have to proceed with the construction of houses, family, social relationships and much more.
