Trains Dispatch Visual Glitch
1. I load up a train. It shows a certain number of Rail Simoleons I'm about to earn in the lower right of the screen. In my screenshot below, it shows 189. 2. I touch the Dispatch button. 3. Here's the glitch: the 189 is now overlayed with another Rail Simoleon indicator, often with a different number (190 in this case). 4. The train is dispatched, both indicators fly off the screen and everything proceeds normally. This seems to be a case of sloppy programming on the part of the developers. It happens in every train station and it doesn't matter whether the rail pass season is underway or not. It's been happening for months now. The game works fine. It's just visually jarring and ought to be fixed. I'm playing on a Samsung Galaxy S10 FE tablet.Regions MUST collect taxes!!!
Regional population currently doesn't contribute to taxes yet they require expenditures on services. This is a huge mistake on the part of the games overlords. I recently opened my final region and now I'm trying to build the regional city storage and regional material storage, but I don't have nearly enough regional simoleons to do it. I can earn them by building more res zones, but then I'll have to spend them on service upgrades. Or I can wait 19 hours for the export HQ to open. We need to be able to collect regional simoleons as taxes from our regional residents. Please do this now!Sluggish, freezing game
EA, EA, game developers, support, BOTS, AI - whom ever is reading these posts - Pay attention: we believe that the developers have introduced code into this game to make it hard for long time players that do not spend money anymore - to play this game. But according to some other players on this forum - these issues are prevalent no matter what your position is when it comes to spending real dollars. In either case, we are tired of this game being sluggish, acting as though the game has frozen for 1 or 2 seconds only to come back to some kind of normalcy. This happens every two or three minutes of playing. Then losing track of where the game is at; having to force kill the game, restart the game; again, comes back to some kind of normalcy. This happens when traveling to regional cities, accessing the GTHQ, or weekly contest assignments. Let us again state that: this is not our internet connection, we have fiber-optic. Why would our internet connection be this erratic? These issues have been going on for over eight months, would you not think that if there was a problem with out internet connection that the ISP's would have corrected this by now? This is not our devices: we play on a Samsung or an Apple device, this does not matter which device we play on - the results are the same across devices. We have contacted Samsung and Apple support and they say this is an app issue, not our device. This only leaves one logical conclusion = it's in the gaming code. We authored a post eight months ago on this very same issue, only to have others on this forum think of excuses as to why this is happening. There has been enough time to correct an issue with an ISP, we have purchased a new device and these problems still remain. It is past time EA for you to step up and admit that you are doing this on purpose and remove whatever it is you got going on. Or time to step up and fix the code if there is a legitimate issue with the code. My wife plays many other games on the same devices, same internet connection and does not experience what is going on with SCBI. FIX THESE ISSUES EA. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO THE PLAYERS?SimCity BuildIt Community Showcase Submission – Chocolate City
Dear SimCity BuildIt Development and Community Team, My name is Rashawn Curry, and I am a dedicated SimCity BuildIt player and city builder.

Can I share links to the EA Forum in my SimCity BuildIt guides?
Hello everyone! I'm a SimCity BuildIt player, and I run a small French-speaking community dedicated to the game. We've recently welcomed many new players, so I'm planning to create some guides in French to help beginners understand the game's mechanics, as many of them find it difficult to get started. My question is simple: Am I allowed to include links to this EA Forum in my guides? Also, are there already any SimCity BuildIt guides available on this forum? I'm having some trouble finding information using the website's search function. Thank you in advance for your help! Have a great day!
EA, STOP CHANGING THE RULES AFTER WE PAY!
I am extremely disappointed with the new Mayor’s Pass progression system. Players purchased the Premium Pass expecting the same progression mechanics as previous seasons. Instead, AFTER we paid, you changed the rules and restricted progression to limited Daily and Weekly assignments. Bonus assignments no longer help us advance through the pass and only count towards Contest of Mayors rankings. This is simply unacceptable. You cannot change the functionality and value of a paid product after customers have already purchased it. I’m also tired of EA trying to monetize absolutely everything in this game. More restrictions, more artificial barriers, more ways to squeeze money out of loyal players. This is the last Premium Pass I will ever purchase. Do you actually care about your player community, or are we just walking wallets? EA, DO BETTER!Club challanges points
4 people in my club have the same issue. I am refering to plumbob points. Seems nothing is available. Each challange completed, they claim the points,but nothing gets added. 2 days left on this cycle. Some people are still at zero. And also nothing gets added to the club total. Some of pur club now even left because they will not ne able to collect club rewards as they are on zero.Police Unlocked at Level 8
New to the game, at level 8. I thought Police Station requirement unlocked at a later level. And sewage unlocked by level 8. However for me Police Station is unlocked at Level 8 and sewage it shows will unlock at Level 16. I also have tasks to complete in the city journal which asks me to place a basic police station. But for me only small police station is unlocked and basic will unlock at level at Level 15. So will this bubble keep appearing till I reach level 15 as it is impossible to complete the task at my given current level Level 8Screen not responding
This afternoon, after the rollover to the new day, the game suddenly stopped responding. It loaded to the city screen but nothing was working - I couldn't scroll, select, access menus. I have restarted the game, restarted my phone, cleared the cache, uninstalled the game, restarted my phone, reinstalled the game etc but it's still not working. I can't accept anything to get the game started now. Anyone else experiencing this?Game Keeps Crashing…..
Hey guys hope you’re all well. My game keeps crashing back to my main menu on my iPad. I have plenty of storage on the iPad but also I have deleted other games and apps to make sure that it still keeps crashing. For instance, I try and and click the Specialisation button, it freezes, cut out of the game completely and goes back to my main menu.. please help as I have haven’t been able to play any extra games inside the game, love from Ireland. God bless.. Bernard..Annoying following helicopters drones
Please please can you make it possible to turn of the following of the helicopters and drones its so annoying every time I collect Neo coins you accidentally tap on a drone or helikopter and it starts following it it has completely no use as far as I’m concerned and its annoying if you don’t want to follow themNo progress in premium pass INCREASE DAILY REWARDS
Daily and weekly rewards are too small compared with the points required by each step in mayor's pass since level 28 and above it's the third week and I didn't even reach level 38. Why would I spend money to buy premium+ pass if i cannot reach those levels? INCREASE DAILY REWARDS!New weekly contest
Today we started off by going forward with an assignment "Upgrade homes in design challenge" only to tap on the the diamond shaped icon to start the upgrade process to find that it has been suspended. "This challenge will be up next. Check the rules and get ready while waiting" Just great we only have 5 more minutes to complete this assignment and it's in waiting. What a waste of 10 Gold Tickets and a "bonus assignment" that counts toward the contest. EA are you that stupid or removed from this game that you make an assignment available but just not right away? I guess you could say that it was my fault for not checking on this first???? I have written many posts about the issues concerning this game but this one takes the cake.City Storage Desync: HUD Icon Item Count is Higher Than Internal Menu Count
Hello everyone, This is regarding a Technical Issue/Bug with SimCity BuildIt seen on Android (I have no idea if it's also affecting IOS, but my guess is yes, this is most certainly a universal bug). CRITICAL/URGENT Technical Bug Report: Progressive Server-Side City Storage Inventory Count Desynchronization. Main City Storage HUD Icon Item Count is Higher Than Internal City Storage Menu Count. DEMONSTRATION 1 RIGHT: Internal Menu Counter = 477/590 (correct) Short Description: There is a persistent discrepancy between the City Storage capacity integer rendered on the primary heads-up display (HUD) icon and the actual structural inventory array calculated inside the City Storage menu. The application strictly prioritizes the faulty HUD counter to enforce maximum capacity logic, resulting in a game-breaking early lockout of item collection. Also note that the item count seen inside the Trade Depot selling menu (the one you see when you tap "Create Sale") follows the faulty HUD counter. Telemetry & Quantitative Data: City Storage HUD Icon Counter Display: 489 / 590 Internal City Storage Inventory Menu Counter Display (and Manually Verified): 477 / 590 Persistent Inventory Miscount: +12 invisible, unrendered "ghost data packets" occupying index slots. Observed Bug Behavior & Systems Impact: Progressive Memory Leak / Compounding Drift: This state desynchronization is not static. The database variance originated approximately 7 months ago with an item count error of only +3 ghost items. Over a 7-month operational window, the variance has progressively expanded to a +12 item count error. This indicates a cascading write-error on the cloud database, where specific transaction types permanently fail to decrement the total storage integer upon resource consumption. Server-Side State Persistence: Neither buying/selling items in the Trade Depot or even upgrading the City Storage capacity force a re-sync or fix this miscount. Restarting the game after clearing out the cache also didn't fix it. A complete client-side wipe was executed by uninstalling the application, purging local device caches, and reinstalling a fresh build from the storefront. Upon authenticating and downloading the cloud saved profile, the 12-item discrepancy error still persisted. This proves that the data corruption resides natively within the cloud database save-state file on the EA servers, completely independent of local hardware configurations. Critical Gameplay Block (Logic Gate Failure): The game engine utilizes the HUD display value rather than the raw inventory array to process the Storage Full boolean rule. Consequently, when the HUD counter hits 590/590, the application triggers a hard-lock on all incoming items (as the City Storage HUD icon is maxed out). This shortens my actual usable inventory capacity to 578 real items, entirely blocking me from collecting manufacturing outputs or completing commercial trades, despite having 12 empty physical grid slots (as seen inside the City Storage menu). DEMONSTRATION 2 (even tho I still have 12 empty spaces) LEFT: HUD Icon Counter = 505/505 (faulty/maxed out) RIGHT: Internal Menu Counter = 493/505 (correct) (even tho I still have 12 empty spaces) The Trade Depot "Create Sale" Selling Menu Counter follows the faulty HUD Icon Counter I have already attempted to resolve this through the in-game Customer Service portal and the EA Help Mobile Support, however nothing has been fixed and the issue still persists. URGENT REQUEST: Because this inventory miscount is progressive and actively shrinking my gameplay capacity every few weeks, I am escalating this here so it can be routed directly to a SimCity BuildIt Game Developer, Software Engineer, or Account Database Specialist to fix this issue. I have also attached the screenshots that show this error/bug. Any help would be appreciated.
