with innovative social game features. Players create their Sims in any likeness they choose and experience every aspect of
their Sims’ social lives, including building a variety of relationships with their real Facebook friends.
“The
Sims Social brings the authentic life-simulation game design that only The Sims can deliver, and melds it with
truly intuitive social-interactive features,” said Lucy Bradshaw, General Manager of the EA Play Label. “The
Sims Social gives our fans tools to express their creativity, experience the unpredictability of Sims’ personalities
and live out their dreams, all while enabling them to connect, engage and play with their friends.”
In The
Sims Social, players experiment with life, customize their homes in a variety of styles and create stories, even scandals
with other Sims, as they explore the depths of relationships in the game. From acquaintances to lovers to rivals and archenemies,
players can be each other’s best friends or worst nightmares. The Sims Social also presents unique opportunities
to grow and advance their Sims’ lives, careers and households. In addition to iconic The Sims objects, The
Sims Social will feature real world in-game items from partners Dunkin’ Donuts that can provide extra boosts and
benefits when players need them.
The innovation driving The Sims Social is the culmination of a
close collaboration between The Sims and Playfish, leveraging more than 10 years of The Sims success with
a deep expertise in social gaming.
“When we created The Sims Social, it was important for us to
incorporate the deep gameplay nuances The Sims Studio has perfected and leverage what Playfish does best – develop
compelling, cutting-edge social-gaming experiences,” said John Earner, General Manager of Playfish’s London Studio.
“Our deep knowledge of the Facebook gaming platform enables us to continue to enable dynamic new features, quests and

their partner. Or they can tell a friend that they just danced with them or sang them a song to make their day. The Sims
Social also features an innovative “replay” option, allowing players to actually see what their friends have
done to them and their houses while they were away. They might see that a friend dropped in and cooked a meal or fixed their
guitar. Or they may find out that a rival has visited and pulled a prank and left a spider behind the toilet or put a fish
in their bed. The Sims Social represents a truly social experience that revolutionizes the way players play with
friends and play with life.
