I think its unfair to give the the demo to some simmers and not to all. Just because they have time to play the game all day does’nt mean anything, I am a simmer I love the sims and I well never stop. So I think it”s unfair that some simmers cant get the demo and some can. I cryed for two hours knowing that i did’nt get the demo. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS IT”S UNFAIR

I wouldn’t say it’s unfair. It’s explained very clearly that it’s a trial version and is given to just a few simmers to try out for the first few weeks. But The Create A Sim Demo will be available in early August (August 12 possibly) For the whole public, requires an Internet Connection and a Origin account to download it via Origin Client. But does not require a internet connection to play it unless using the Gallery.

I think it’s very strange that they have this invite only thing going on. Then when anyone asks about it it’s all hush hush. Why even say that there is a demo out but it’s only by invite? It’s like telling a big group of your close friends ” Oh I’m having this HUGE SUPER COOL AWESOME party but only a few of you are invited. No criteria by the way. I’m picking who’s invited by playing eeny-meeny-miney-mo”…..

It really upsets me, I guess EA cares more about some customers than others.
