The Sims Social has been a huge hit for gamers of single-player PC series to adapt it on Facebook by the EA Games. It’s the same gameplay of the known The Sims for PC only with an added of some layers on the top of the screen. You will still be building, decorating, looking out for your sim’s basic needs, interacting with object and also with other sims. This time, other sims or your so-called “neighbors” are your real Facebook friends. In this way, it is much more engaging that it can actually build relationships.
On the previous PC game The Sims, you control the whole family, but on The Sims Social you only control just one character. Just like the other sims, your sim needs to fulfill its need in order to be inspired. “Inspired” is the term used on the “The Sims Social” when your sim is satisfied or happy. Be sure that they eat, they are in proper hygiene, they go to the bathroom, and they sleep.
It's not all fun and games in the Sims Social. For starters, that yard needs some work!
At the beginning of the game, you’ll have to customize your sim. You’ll have to set its name, select its outfits and provide its personality. Personality is important in the customization tool. This will be your basis on how you will let your sim live. These are the personalities available: Tycoon, Geek, Introvert, Rocker, Romantic, Socialite, and Creative.
Tycoons are those who love money more than anything else. These are much likely of people who love business. Geeks on the other hand are some sorts of people who love sci-fi and such. Introverts are more likely to be found in deep thought than in deep conversation. Rockers are those who would like to be singing in the bathroom and jamming all day and night. Romantic are those people who are always involve in relationship and are deep in emotions. Socialites are the people who love to do anything as long as they don’t break their nails. And lastly, creative people are those, of course who love art; they are more likely to be found stitching.
There are two currencies available in The Sims Social: The Gold and Silver Simoleons. Gold Simoleons are like the “cash” on other Facebook games. They are hard to get, you can get them either on leveling up fast or just purchase them using Facebook credits or real money. Silver simoleons, on the other hand are way easier to have. You can silver simoleons just by doing tasks, interacting with objects and also by leveling up.
