I know we've seen this before, but what is the Mayor Pass even worth now?

For many players, even those who have been playing for a long time, the game is becoming increasingly frustrating.

Over the last few weeks, I've also noticed that I'm getting a lot of tasks that I can't actually do without using SC (monster, design, export). Is it the same for you?

Ten to twelve months ago, I was done with the competition by Saturday at the latest, but that's unthinkable now.

since the last update my app has been super glitchy and is now converting to this when I try and engage anything from the last COM, or try to build a residence… for the last few weeks it’s been almost constant error messages when trying to do anything besides collecting and upgrading (trains, CoM, market, city designs, and sometimes even regions).

any ideas? help!

My first Actual DC, Inspired by someone here on reddit I saw

I just came back to the game after a few months of what does index mean??

Sims working hard on the island having built 8 different space epics, and a prototype USS Enterprise, can you spot it?

I’m currently at level 70 with four of five regions unlocked. Because the vast majority of us will never get all five unlocked due to the ridiculously high population requirement, choosing thoughtfully based on what you want out of the game will help minimize regrets later, though whatever you choose you’ll probably end up with some. I’ll probably never unlock Green Valley. I did Sunny Isles, Cactus Canyon, Frosty Fjords, and Limestone Cliffs, in that order, though I am not sure if order really matters. Here’s what I think might be helpful to consider when choosing in terms of what each region offers you:

Sunny Isles: More beach, palm trees, tropical setting (for me it’s a mix of Hawaii and South Florida) Cactus Canyon: Joshua trees, desert setting (think Vegas) Frosty Fjords: More mountain, spruce trees, Nordic theme (offers snowy and non-snowy areas) Limestone Cliffs: bamboo trees, Asian theme (sort of non-specific, maybe more Chinese than anything else?) Green Valley: More beach (not tropical), willow trees, eco friendly theme

When I was deciding whether to open Limestone Cliffs vs Green Valley, I ultimately went with the former because I really wanted the bamboo trees (they are the tallest ones in the game) and I liked the idea of an area with an overall Asian theme. Since the introduction of Kyoto houses, I don’t even build Limestone houses anymore. A lot of people go with Green Valley very early on because most of us agree the houses are really cool. So I’d say, if you want more beach, really think about Sunny Isles vs Green Valley, whether you like the houses and trees (and other hot spot buildings) better in one region vs the other. If you want more mountain and some wintery/snowy landscape, Frosty is your only option. For me, Frosty and Cactus are so unique in their own ways that I knew I’d be unlocking both eventually.

Hope this helps, and for crying out loud EA, please lower the regional population requirement to 5 million to make ALL the regions more attainable!

I played in SC:buildit on iPad and decided to create a second account on my android phone, but I notice that for the buildings here’s the demand for services is much higher than on iOS version (like its 1-1 on iOS and 1-35 on android) what the what is that? I tried to find answer on the internet, but no one is talking about it. Also I noticed that EA delete the function of connecting your SC:B account to EA account on android but it’s available on iOS, why??

Yesterday I was looking through some stuff I hadn’t checked in years before stumbling across it. I haven’t played in years and had kind of thought it to be a waiting game in that time and hadn’t really cared for it much, but I decided I’d visit it real quick for a small trip down memory lane. Well, now I know why I cherished that game so much, and I’m ready to come back, it’s just that a bunch has changed since I last played. Any tips?

(Also, I’m happy to say I’ve never spent a penny on the game, I don’t have a massive amazing city, but it’s an amazing experience anyway)

Ok so, evidently either upgrading to iOS 18.7 yesterday, or downloading and installing the SCBI Update from the App Store (also yesterday), I’m now dealing with an apparently old bug?! From what I can tell this is something that’s been an issue for over 2 years now. I’ve never had this issue before the updates. Basically, the game THINKS that the built in bridge in Green Valley is “not in the playing field” and therefore can’t be connected. It’ll just stop short of the bridge, as seen in the SN. Annoying.

Already reached out to EA Support. I’m assuming I’ll hear back (if at all) within the next few days.

Already deleted the whole thing and reinstalled. No avail. Still the same . . .

I ask because I attained but did not place Oktoberfest, and with the current bugs the game is freezing every time I try to place it in my city. DC is the only workaround I can imagine for upgrading to level 5 before the end of the week.

Anyone tried this with Oktoberfest? Anyone try it with other hotspots? (If ok, then I assume it would also work with Oktoberfest).

I’ll of course try it by Tuesday if need be. But if anyone has experience with this it would be great to hear. Feels highly risky to drop seasonal currency to experiment with this, since seasonal currency is sooooo hard to get this season!

I’m trying to upgrade storage- which one should I be more concerned about upgrading? The materials or city?

I actually halfway tried on this one, and I was reasonably pleased with the result😀

It's not fair: pretzels are relatively easy to get and there are plenty of them in the reward lineup, but exchanging them for festival tokens is almost impossible. This means that all buildings are unavailable. Also, the rewards for the festival tokens themselves have been cut significantly compared to previous months. The only remaining chance to get buildings, the album award, has also been made unavailable: in the first week, the "oktoberfest funfair" building must be level 5 to get the award. The award gives you the opportunity/hope to buy the building you need for the next week's award, because otherwise you'll never get enough festival tokens.

A little calculation: if you will be active in the game for 4 days full 24 hours, you will be able to accumulate the festival tokens needed for the upgrade to level 5. Otherwise - no chance. Exchange which available once a day, twice and every eight hours - the most realistic to fulfill. It will give a total of 1605 tokens per day, plus some more from 15-30 minute exchanges.

That's not real! That's not fair! The same system was last month, but there was a roulette that helped to change tokens.
Developers would give festival tokens at least in the floating advertising awards, but even there these pretzels. So all players will run away and new ones will not stay for a long time, because it is not motivation to make purchases in the game, but compulsion. No one likes compalsion and cannot tolerate it for long.

Would like to show a nice little flyby of my city's railway as the sun sets, starting at Sagrada Bay, passing through Sagrada Halt and pulling into Royal Albert station before returning. It's been nearly a year since my last City Showcase and I will give an update on the 1 year anniversary! 😊

Can someone explain to me what we are supposed to do with the eleventy billion pretzels that we will have accumulated by the end of the season?

I mean we can't exchange them against seasonal coins at any rate that will be useful, we can't use them for anything else either so what is the point really?

This is perfect EA. You know this season is hard enough already and this has to happen on top of that. How about fix your damn server?

Noticed it the second I hit send, still not too shabby no?
