Is the Sims game app on Facebook free?

[Mara]

I was just wondering if the Sims 6 Social game on Facebook is free? I got this app from a friend but have not downloaded it yet and want to make sure it wont ever cost anything if i do. i know some games and apps on Facebook charge (or so I've heard that) so want to make sure.

Also will it slow down my computer severely or take up too much space? my computer is already too slow, I just don't need anymore problems.And any viruses it can cause if I download it??

I just don't get how it can possibly be free especially if this game is being sold in stores or on other online sites where you'd normally have to pay for it...

If it is the same Sims game as the one I think you are talking about, then yes it is free.

That is the app page.
I don't remember having to download anything unless you don't already have the plug ins needed to run the game. It can slow down your computer a little while the game is playing, but it doesn't take up space on your computer and when you close out, things run normally. The only problems with speed that I have had with it was lag while I played. It is a widely known app and I'm pretty sure it was made by or approved by the Sims computer games company. I haven't heard of any viruses coming out.
