We need an exchange system for different currencies in SimCity buildit
I am on a tight budget and find the constant ads spoiling the game. i am constantly running out of those green tokens which slows the game down. Wouldn’t it be nice if the game were to have anbeaureax de change so you could trade some tokens or gold keys for simoleons or whatever the green notes are called. i wouls d like it also if a one off payment could pay for a licence without all these ads. It’s killing the fun for me after three months and I see long ads for apps I already have. I’m 67 years old and time is precious, not to be wasted watching adverts. As a pensioner I’d rather have an option to pay once for ad free with an exchange to swap my currency. thank youAnnoying 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 them
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 likely 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. 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. Current 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: Restarting the game after clearing out the cache didn't fix it. Also buying and selling items in the Trade Depot doesn't fix this miscount. 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 save profile, the 12-item discrepancy 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. 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. I have already attempted to resolve this through the in-game Customer Service portal. The front-line support staff stated they lacked the tools to do anything and closed the inquiry without resolution. 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 attached a screenshot that shows this error. You will notice on the left that the count under the HUD City Storage icon is 489/590 while on the right the count seen inside the City Storage menu is 477/590 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cant add friends, can’t receive friends requests
Cant add friends, when I send someone friend request it shows waiting for response but they don’t get the friends reques To accept, and vice versa when the send me the friend request does not comes in my game. Raised support ticket and they suggested me to wait for 7 days and let expire that request and send request again after that and I did same but same issue again and again. I tried few friends but same issue with them all. Only I am getting this error and problemAnyone else having issues with playable ads (Gossip Harbor / Arros Puzzle)?
Hi everyone, Since the recent patch a couple of days ago, I’ve been having issues receiving rewards from certain ads—specifically interactive/playable ads like Gossip Harbor and Aros Puzzle 3D. What happens: The ad plays, but when reaching the playable end-card (asking to test the game), the script gets stuck in a loop. Even after pressing "Next" twice and hitting the close "X", no reward is granted. Regular video ads without interactive test prompts still work perfectly fine and grant rewards immediately. Is anyone else experiencing this with interactive/playable ads recently, or is it just isolated to certain devices/regions? Thanks!Mayor’s Pass Crashes
Hi Team, Am facing an issue - whenever i try to open “mayor’s pass” specialisation, the game crashes. Am not able to use any buildings under the category! Am facing this from last season(Malaysia season starting) Is there any mayor facing the same issue? Can you guys help me in troubleshooting this ?End the glitches
We have come to realize and with proof that EA and the gaming team are programming glitches into SCBI on purpose. We have tested our Internet connection many, many times. These glitches only happen when playing SCBI. We can stream two TV's at once, be on the desktop at the same time with our browser up and running and all the while have the wife play a game on her iPhone - not a drop in service, no data loss. no pixelization on the TV screens - nothing, If fact one might say that this would be impressive. As far as the people who are saying this is an Apple issue, not true. These issues happen on an Android device as well. We have a brand new Samsung Tablet with the latest hardware and we still see the inbred issues that plaque SCBI. Forget clearing the cache, disabling background refresh - this also has nothing to do with performance while running SCBI. We have tried all of the suggested ideas on this forum. After said the above we think now that EA and the development team have "attached" these issues to a player that has not spent any money on this game. Please respond if you still have these issues of game freezing, non-responsiveness, and having to reboot the game over and over again if you have spent money on this game. This would rule out this theory. Then that would leave this scenario - that the development team does not have a clue, or they simply do not care. Wake up EA, it is time past due to fix this game once and for all. After all the BS you put us through with your Service II update - the very least you could do is to give us a game that runs properly.Features worth adding
Hello game devs! In future updates, here are a few additions & improvements I’d like to see: Elevated Rail Bridges - The rail bridge design itself is realistic, but the bridges sit level with the water, which makes them look awkward. Street View from the Cars - Like many other players, I’d love to cruise around my city and see it from the driver’s view. It would make exploring our cities way more immersive. You’ve already done this with the trains, choppers, balloons, so I believe cars are very much possible. Actual Snowfall - The snow effect from the Holiday Tree is already cool, but it would be even better if snow actually fell across the city, just like the sand effect in Cactus Canyon. It would make winter cities feel much more alive. Lowered Water Level - The water and land levels look the same—well it’s not totally bad, but it could definitely use some improvement. Because I can imagine lowered rivers, lakes, water bodies would make waterfront areas look way better.Possible new items
Developers This is my wishlist of new items I would like to see. Passenger airplane options similar to trains. A public parking lot (ride share) under transportation and a small bus stop (SimCity 2-4) would be a good single square option. Either a new factory type with 6+ spots or an upgradeable option for existing ones. Creeks and Rivers would be great instead of using ponds/lakes to create one. TY for all your work on this game.HDR rendering is terrible
The new HDR rendering system is destroying my city's appearance. Buildings now look like glass cubes during the day and lightbulbs during the night. Everything is blurry, as if the entire city are covered in fog. The main reason why I'm enjoying the game is its graphics, and I believe many other players feel the same way. However, since the latest update, I can't even bear to look at my city, and as far as I know, a lot of players are suffering from the same issue. Please, AT THE VERY LEAST, give us an option to disable the new HDR rendering system and revert to previous graphics settings. Thank you.Expand/create new regions
I think I speak for many of us; that after many years of playing the game, amassing a huge amount of buildings and specialisations that are piling up in storage with nowhere to put them, as well as land deeds that can't be used because there is no more land (I have almost 40 land deeds at present)........isn't it time to go beyond the occasional strip of extra squares given to us in our main cities and either expand our regions giving us more land to use, or even create more regions? It's going to get to a point where many long-term players will hit a wall and have no further incentive to play on. Give us more land!
With all of the tech request... I just want to thanks EA for an amazing game!
I see a lot of bugs and request. But this thread is to thank EA for their efforts to make a incredible game! Remember, your efforts matches theirs! But be creativive with the imagination that anything is possible. I applauded EA for their efforts to build a beautiful thriving city with players interest in mind. Everyone feel free to like this post to show support to the EA production team. And remember that microtransactions are a positive thing to support the longevity of the game! So dream, build and inspire!How about if there is Indonesian theme for seasonal event
I'm very appreciated by having some countries in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia theme on SimCity Buildit. However, how about if I suggest to have a Indonesian theme for SimCity Buildit (either through event Season or through SimCity Classic) that could be perfect for example in Landmark category, there are Borobudur Temple, National Monument (Monas), or Ulun Danu Beratan Temple (or similar hindu temples in Bali), in Entertainment category, there are Autograph Tower (Thamrin Nine), or Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, in Beach category, there are Kelingking Beach (Nusa Penida, Bali) or Labuhan Bajo, or Raja Ampat, and in Park/landscape category there is a nature landmark such as Lake Toba. Thank You.Idea for a event around spring/earth day
I think a good idea for a event is to have a upgradeable tree. I don't think it should be otherworldly or outlandish. The idea is to start with a grass patch about the size of a building. First visual tier is a small tree sappling. The next tier maybe add it a bit taller and branched out. And the final tier add a circle sidewalk and a lamp on the corner of it with a fully grown tree. With the tree fully upgraded it would be nice to add the rain effect with it completed. Just a thought. I'd also like to see some sim dialog during events as well.Decrease maxis manor price and remove the limit of 7 units
the cost of 1000 simcash is quite enough high for maxis manor, 8000 simcash is ridiculously high, people may have to spend 100 dollars for each maxis manor to fill their city. There is also that stupid limitation of 7 maxis manor units globally for the capital and the region. Why is there a limitation? There is no reason for that. Remove price doubling and the limit of 7 units.I am unable to purchase train pass.
I’m unable to purchase the Train Pass because I keep receiving the error message: “The in-app purchase has already been bought.” However, I have not purchased it. I also noticed that there is no Restore Purchase option available in the game. I checked my payment card and confirmed that I still have sufficient funds available.As a troubleshooting step, I reinstalled the app to try to resync my account and purchases, but the issue persists and I am still unable to complete the purchase. Anyone experienced the same issue? How to fix it?
