Follow These 3 Cheats For More CityVille Energy

If you're looking for CityVille cheats for energy you're barking up the wrong tree. There are no CityVille 'cheats' of any kind, including energy. And if someone tries to tell you different, well, they're just trying to cheat you!

But there are some rather unique methods to get more CityVille energy and they're not considered cheating at all. In fact, they're perfectly legitimate. And Zynga, the creators of the game, even encourage you to use them. Here are 3 CityVille 'cheats' for energy - which aren't really cheats at all!

First, you can grow a lot of Cranberries and Pumpkins. The collections associated with both of these crops offer up a reward of 3 Energy Points each time you complete them and trade them in. And you can complete these collections as often as you like. Free energy from growing crops that you need anyway? Sounds like a no-brainer to me!

The second 'cheat' is to visit your neighbors' cities every day. You earn 1 Energy Point each time you visit each city. So, if you have 50 neighbors, you'll accumulate 50 extra Energy Points each day. Keep a lookout, too, because on some weekends, Facebook doubles your energy for each visit. And, you'll earn an extra point each time you visit a new neighbor for the very first time.

Your third 'cheat' - even though it really isn't a 'cheat', is to add more CityVille Neighbors and that's exactly what Facebook wants you to do. They want you to socialize and have fun while you're on their site so all of their games are set up in such a way that you're forced to socialize if you want to succeed.

Adding new neighbors isn't as difficult as it sounds. you don't have to beg your friends and family to join you in CityVille - although it is a good idea to extend the invitation. But you can invite friends you've met at other social networks too, like YouTube and MySpace.

One of the best places to find a lot of new neighbors is on forums frequented by CityVille player. The Zynga game forums are a great place to start. Just add your name to the daily 'Add Me As A Neighbor' thread and your City will soon be a bustling metropolis!

Now, how can all of these new neighbors help you get more CityVille energy - without cheating? Each day you can send your neighbors a free gift. And they will, in return, send you that same gift. If you have 65 CityVille Neighbors and you send each of them a gift of 3 free energy points, you'll get 195 FREE energy points each day! Now you can really start dominating CityVille!
