Premium pass: worth it this season
I just completed my last upgrade for the Vienna Gasometer complex and got all the new Vienna buildings from the Vienna shop and still have some flower coins left. Only thing left is doing more challenges to get the Stephanadom and to the event track up to Fort Island, which completes my season album. After the season were a disappointment for a while, and getting **** over with the Norwegian Fort Island in October because of the too early ending of the event track, I didn't spend any money on the game anymore. But I could reist Vienna, so I bought the Premium pass (not the plus) I am happy that I didn't have to choose and between the upgrade and Vienna shop buildings 😁 I am glad that feedback does cause changes, it just takes a while.
Proposal
Proposal: Increase Tax Revenue at Higher Levels I believe SimCity should improve its tax revenue system for players who reach higher levels, especially from Level 18 onward. Players invest countless hours building, expanding, and improving their cities, yet at higher levels, tax income often doesn’t seem to match the level of development or the increasing costs of services, upgrades, and other city expenses. It would be great to see a progressive tax system implemented, where higher levels, larger populations, and more developed cities generate greater tax revenue. This would allow players to earn Simoleons at a more reasonable pace and give us greater flexibility when purchasing services, upgrading buildings, and continuing to expand our cities without making progression feel unnecessarily slow. This isn’t about giving players free resources or making the game too easy. It’s about creating a fairer reward system for players who dedicate countless hours to building and developing their cities.Neon Buildings Bug
In the latest update, you completely ruined the visual effects of the Neon Season buildings. Their lights now glowing through other buildings as if those buildings were transparent. It looks absolutely terrible. It's unbelievable. We're not talking about content from five years ago, but from just five months ago. How is it possible that you don't realize people invest both a great deal of time and real money to earn rewards and unlock new buildings, only for you to ruin them for no reason and with absolutely no respect for your players? You are the worst company in the world.Idea de un nuevo edificio (capacidad de 2143 habitantes)
Hola, equipo de SimCity BuildIt y comunidad de alcaldes!Les escribo porque soy un jugador muy activo y apasionado del juego, y se me ocurrió una idea para una nueva estructura residencial que me encantaría ver implementada en futuras actualizaciones.Diseñé y dibujé a mano un edificio de clase normal, pensado para ser altamente eficiente. Estos son sus detalles principales:Tipo: Residencial (Clase Normal / Intermedia)Capacidad estimada: 2,143 habitantes (ideal para optimizar el crecimiento de la población en espacios compactos).Adjunto a esta publicación les dejo la fotografía del dibujo que hice en mi libreta para que puedan ver el diseño visual, la fachada y cómo se vería en nuestras ciudades. ¡Espero que les guste la estética!Aprovechando el espacio, me gustaría sugerir si de casualidad en los próximos ajustes de equilibrio del juego se podría revisar un poco el costo en Simoleones de las plantas de agua iniciales, ya que para los alcaldes que estamos empezando se siente un poco elevado y nos obliga a frenar mucho el progreso para ahorrar. ¡Sé que a muchos jugadores nuevos les ayudaría un pequeño ajuste!Muchas gracias por seguir actualizando este gran juego. ¡Quedo atento a ver qué opina la comunidad y los desarrolladores sobre mi edificio!
Deluxe Fire Station not increased to 3000 capacity
Hi all, As title says, I feel like this is by accident, as the deluxe hospital and deluxe police station have a maximum capacity as of new update set to 3000. My 2 cents on the new buildings, they are a nice addition, but the only benefit is the new design as well as the larger maximum capacity. I thought it would have a bigger range too I wont be using them, since I still think its better to go for deluxe and cover as large of an area as possible. Please change the order of building in the menu by sizes. Small Small Medium Medium Large. As currently the ordering in the menu is a little weird Lastly, I wouldnt mind omega getting involved with a new fire, police and a hospital building. There are a couple bugs I noticed recently, If you click help, and try to chat with support, each time the bot replies the game crashes. Additionally, we all saw the problem with the contest of mayors last time, I did get duplicate buildings and all rewards because of it. Then we have a new leak of the upcoming season in the apple store updates section instead of mentioning the changes that were introduces. It seems there should be more testing and double checking before stuff goes live. Still loving the game and having a nice time. Just hope these stuff can be fixed and improved upon.
New Big Box Theater release date?
Does anyone have a release date for the new big box theater? I know there is people that data mine. But I was wondering if there is someone that posts the dates of item releases like they’ve done in tapped out when it was running. I could use the information of item releases to plan my expenditures around it. Like I’d like to get the jazz club, theater and possibly the hot rod collection. Any information would greatly be appreciated! And EA if I could partner with you that would be great also! I know that maxis has many social profiles for the sims. I wouldn’t mind being a voice for SimCity and sharing item releases on my profile. I’d love to announce a partnership with you all. I currently have 260 followers on Facebook and just over 100 on twitch. Please message me! I’m a long time player of EA mobile and I like to design. I don’t really ask for anything because there would be audience exposure and inside knowledge of works within the game. I’d happily be a part of the EA family. Looking forward to the Project Rene workings as well. I use a high end iPad Pro! Sorry for the side tracking… I’m still interested in knowing when the dates are.Stephansdom size
Hello SimCity BuildIt team! 👋 I would like to share a small suggestion regarding the Vienna Season buildings, especially Stephansdom (St. Stephen’s Cathedral). I really appreciate the effort your team puts into creating historical landmarks. The Vienna theme is beautiful, and many buildings have very good proportions. However, after seeing Stephansdom in another player's city, I noticed that its current size appears to be 2×4 tiles. Considering the importance of Stephansdom as the main symbol of Vienna’s historic center, this size feels a little too small compared with other Vienna landmarks: Hofburg Palace — 3×5 Vienna Museum Square — 3×5 Vienna State Opera — 4×5 Albertina Palace — 2×3 In real Vienna, Stephansdom is the dominant architectural landmark of the city center, so I believe it would look more balanced if its footprint was increased, for example to 3×4 or 4×5 tiles. A slightly larger Stephansdom would help players create a more realistic Vienna district and would make the cathedral feel like the centerpiece it deserves to be. Thank you for your amazing work and for bringing real-world cities into SimCity BuildIt. I hope you will consider this suggestion. 🙏Cant open a game

Hi EA / community, After weeks of lag and constant disconnects, I did a full network diagnosis because I was tired of hearing "check your Wi-Fi". It's not my network. It's EA's servers + an iOS 26 compatibility issue. My setup: - Device: iPad Air 13-inch (M3) - iPadOS: 26.5.2 - Game: SimCity BuildIt v1.79.1.14223324 - Connection tested: Swisscom Fiber (Ethernet via USB-C adapter), Swisscom 5G Hotspot, and VPN (Japan/US) - Location: Switzerland What happens in-game: - Local actions (building, collecting) = instant and smooth - Any server action (Trade HQ, Neighbor visits, Club Wars, loading city) = 20-60s lag, then freeze. I have to force-close and restart. - The game is noticeably better between 01:00-05:00 CET, and almost unplayable 18:00-23:00 CET. Classic server overload pattern. Technical tests I ran: 1. DNS Resolution: live.simcitybuildit.com resolves correctly to: - 52.204.135.253 - 23.23.117.168 - 32.195.41.169 (All AWS EC2 us-east-1, Virginia) 2. Traceroute (from Switzerland): 17 hops, reaches 52.204.135.253 successfully. No packet loss on the route. 3. Port Scan (using Network Analyzer on iPad): - Tested on WiFi, 5G, and VPN (Japan) - Ports 80-442: BLOCKED / FILTERED on all three IPs - Port 443: Shows as "https" but does not accept plain HTTP GET – Safari just hangs on http://live.simcitybuildit.com/simcity/ Same result from three different networks and two countries. This is not my ISP blocking 4. VPN Test: Proton VPN to Japan/USA – zero improvement. Same lag, same timeouts. Rules out geo-blocking of Swiss IPs. 5. App Reinstall: Offloaded app, reinstalled 1.79.1 (App 317.6 MB, Documents 3.54 GB preserved). No change in behavior. Conclusion / My assessment: a) EA is running outdated server hardware / undersized AWS instances for BuildIt. The day/night difference proves the servers are running at their limit during peak EU/US hours. b) EA has not adapted BuildIt (and other legacy titles) to modern iOS network stacks. iPadOS 26 enforces stricter TLS/HTTP handling, and BuildIt 1.79 still tries to talk http on port 443 with legacy headers. The server drops it, the client waits, and we see "lag". This is not a user-side firewall, DNS, or router issue. I have proven the packets reach Virginia, but EA's endpoint does not respond properly. Please escalate this to the server team – we need either a server capacity upgrade or a client patch for iPadOS 26 compatibility. Anyone else seeing the same time-of-day pattern?Lost progress SimCity BuildIt
I have lost all of my rewards in the weekly assignments. I always finish them and don’t collect the plumbob points until a day before the seasons ends but all of a sudden they are gone and replaced with new assignments which is extraordinary because once we finish the weekly assignments we don’t get new ones. I have tried the help feature within the game but the representative has been dismissive. The troubleshooting suggested by the help didn’t work either. It seems my progress is lost for good. Has anyone experienced the same? I would like to submit a formal complaint but I haven’t been able to find the correct channel to do so. Please help / advise. Thanks.Defeito no Jogo
Boa noite a todos. Já fazem 2 dias jogando simcity build it que apareceu uma espécie de sombra preta que fica piscando a todo momento quando movimenta-se no jogo, com os personagens deformados me impedindo de jogar com clareza. Um erro agoniante que dá até coçeira de ver kkkk. Da a impressão de como se a estrutura do jogo (parte programática) tivesse bugado ou fora do lugar. Já tentei suporte com a EA porém sem sucesso, sempre respondem a mesma coisa solicitando passo a passo simples como desligar celular e limpar cache como se fosse resolver facilmente e depois somem. Segue abaixo imagens e um pequeno vídeo do que está acontecendo, e simplesmente não consigo resolver:Current cities additional expansion
Over the years, I’ve fully developed all of my expansions, and unfortunately I’ve reached the point where there is no more space to build or expand. Because of this, my progress has essentially stopped, and I’m gradually losing motivation to continue playing. I remember that some time ago you expanded the Capital City by adding more land, and it was a fantastic update that gave players new opportunities to build and continue progressing. It made me wonder if something similar might be possible again? Are there any plans to introduce additional expansion for current cities to develop? I believe many long-time players would really appreciate having more space to continue developing their cities. Thank you. I hope you’ll consider this idea in a future update.
Trophies what do they help with?
I asked Google about trophies and my club. Google said, War trophies (and the points you earn in Club Wars) are primarily used to progress through the individual Vu Pass, level up your War Rank, and help your team win matches to earn War Simoleons, Platinum Keys, and SimCash. Team says they do nothing. Please any help will be appreciated
