    I was able to restart my city on the Nexus.

    Settings > Apps > Sim City > Clear Data.

    That did it for me.  Hope that helps.

Basically you can restart the game by going to settings and cleaaring the data. But if you have used facbook or google it will begin your previous game. You cannot sign in to a diffrent facebook or google accout. So your stuck. One solution is to play with out connecting to a accout. Thats what i am doing.

It isn't necessarily stupid. In reply to another post on this same subject, I pointed out how it might be a very clever strategy to mislead their advertisers. I would add that the people who engineered this game are obviously not stupid; I strongly doubt that this was an oversight.

One might suspect that this was a tactic to get people to buy more game currency, but people who feel cheated (regardless of whether they actually were cheated) are less likely to buy from the company they feel cheated them, and the designers of this game know this.

    The reply from EA_Kristi seems to suggest EA has no intention of fixing this. It's a freemium game, incentives to spend real money are fundamental to the business model. But, I can't see why stopping people from overwriting cloud saves with a restarted city is a problem. I would love to help bring new players to the game, but I can't because I can't log into social media with my second city. EA, please either fix this, or provide a plausible explanation of why you won't. C'mon, you relented on persistent online connection with the current full verison of the game, show us some more love.
