Registering for a SIMS ID account.

You cannot register for a SIMS ID account unless you have been sent an invite with a valid registration code

When you receive an invite to a product that uses a SIMS ID account you are able to create an account using either a third-party account such as Twitter, Facebook, Google or Microsoft account or by registering a SIMS ID account using an email address.
