After several months of not playing the Sims Social, I gave into the pressure and rejoined the party. Then I got this email introducing a new way to waste your life on the world’s biggest time suck (aka Facebook).
The subject line hooked me in with the promise of 800 free simoleons. I collected my simoleons and couldn’t resist but to check out this new game.
If you’ve been playing The Sims Social, I expect you’ve seen the same email. Click the image featured above, and you’re taken to the game page on Facebook. It’s not ready for play yet, but EA is doing a good job of collecting fans in their pre-launch cycle.

If you “like” the game (even if you don’t know if it’s any good or not, you just click the button), you unlock three free gifts.
I’m not sure exactly why it says that the gifts are “unlocked” though because before you can collect them all, you have to spread the word some more.
You get this city sign immediately.
If you click the button to share The SimCity Social on your timeline, you get this billboard.
And if you verify your email address (so that EA can keep you up to date on the launch… and send you other marketing materials) you unlock this park.
At this point, you can also watch EA videos about The SimCity Social or take a look at the FAQ.
And get ready to waste some more of your fleeting life.
Seeing I can’t afford the Deluxe version of the new simcity due to be launched February of 2013 will there be a deluxe expansion pack.
