It's live on facebook. It's Sims meets zynga style social gaming. It's already got 4 million players and has been open for like... 3 days.

and....

It's surprisingly fun.

I've been addicted to this for the past hour. Evilll this game is.

Incredibly well made for a flash game, and pretty well made for a sims game as well.

Looks like the one to kill the shit out of farmville/town.

It's impressive for a Facebook game, but like every other one I tried, I played it for 5 minutes and got bored...

Things like this are when I suspect that the whole world is playing a trick on me. Like Bon Jovi becoming super popular again. But I guess not.

Anyone know how to reset the game? I clicked through with a random character to see what the game was like... but the character isn't even the right gender!

Unfortunately it's not a joke. As skinner boxes go, this is about the most finely crafted I have seen thus far. It adds in some meaningful game play, but only enough to keep you hooked and spending energy... so sleek and polished.

This game will be more financially successful than Sims 3, all of its expansions, and Sims Medieval combined, in the long term.
