    On this subject: "I would like EA to unlock all promotional items for all players or at least allow us to buy them"
    He had already made a suggestion post for EA to release the DLCs for all SimCity Gamers or allow the Gamer to "RESET" the abandoned city in order to allow any Gamer to use the abandoned city again !!
    EA Response on the "Reset Button" for Abandoned Cities:
    ZZZZZZZZ Nothing .... Total silence !!
    An Absurd !! And a lack of respect for all SimCity gamers !!

Hi, They released them all. I bought them from there. Would you like the site where you can buy them really inexpensive?

Sincerely,

I have  SimCity Complete Edition. And there is at least one DLC that is Locked and unable to be accessed unless you buy The Sims 2 on Origin, which last time I checked, has been unavailable for purchase for quite some time.

I was really, really, disappointed when I discovered the amount of DLC content missing from the "Complete" version of the game. EA has totally mis-labeled the product. a more accurate title would be "SimCity Incomplete Edition" 

As for the sponsored DLC, I.E. Crest DLC, Progressive DLC, etc., It should not be that hard for EA to create generic versions of the DLC that they could provide to the SimCity Masses (us users) either for free, or for a small fee. If they believe they can't because they (foolishly) let the dev team go, then there is a vast and wide community of SimCity content creators that they could contract to make the items. The only thing really stopping this kind of thing is EA's stupidity (but then, we all know that they are known for that.)

I have been waiting and waiting for someone from the community that would create the generic form of the DLC not freely available that could be freely added to the game, but so far, I have not found it.

As for the country specific DLC, I have managed to get all of those, but it was only due to an enourmous effort by me, and it was an enourmous pain to get them. I don't remember all of what I did, but I remember it involved using tunnelbear to connect to origin in the countries that would allow the DLC to be accessed. If anybodies interested, I could try and find the directions I followed and post a link to them.

    @IMDUI Hi, thank you Very much for your read. I really appreciate reading what you wrote.

    Link incoming within a few days where I bought all the DLCs minus the 'bonus' one you get from Sims 2 sadly... So THAT is why some maps can't be claimed for me Imdui! Ty.

    Coming soon, link....

    A sick Exsosus who is very sick.

      As promised:
      https://www.origin.com/swe/sv-se/game-library/ogd/OFB-EAST:48204/extra-content

      This is the swedish one but just go to your preferred language and you'll get all the add-ons. The addons will load in your language of the game regardless. I use international english ver of Simcity 2013 and here everything worked.

      The only add-on you want to download if you get the complete edition of Simcity 2013 is Nissan Leaf. Its free.

        Hi,

        So I have just spent 5 hours yesterday fixing this very exact problem with a new install of Simcity + all DLCs which means Simcity Complete Edition plus download of extra DLCs to match my full version. Here is what you would do today if you install Simcity on a PC/Mac and want to play with a pre-release owner such as someone like myself:

        1. Install Complete Edition Simcity

        2. Download DLCs: Heroes & Villians , Nissan Leaf (Not included in #1).

        3. You now can invite your new-install friend to your region where you're playing.

        Take note: The 'new' install player will not be able to re-claim any maps that you have if you have pre-ordered Simcity because you are running something called Plumbo park from 'The Sims' game and it was only given to pre-release people.

        You can, however, invite your friend to your region and they may claim any new map that has not been opened by your account first.

        Hope this clears up this issue for many people. I had it, some of you had it, and now you know a work-around.
