GTHQ wether to Advertise or not
What follows are my own thoughts on this topic, they suit me, may help some of you but are by no means perfect for all. Bear that in mind if you reply. Now there are many posts about improving GTHQ, e.g. item selectable filtering. EA realistically are not going to implement that. However we the players do control what appears in GTHQ, since it’s only advertised items. So seriously consider before you advertise. If you would buy it on GTHQ advertise if you would NOT buy it DON’T advertise Pros Cons Can be a quick way to sell factory / commercial goods rather than waiting for Daniel to buy them Even 1 advertised item opens your whole inventory when visited via GTHQ, not just the advertised items. If you have advertised items you take a risk trying to trade with players in your alliance due to the above issue. Advertise and your depot is public. Daniel will come along and buy at the price you set anything that has been in your depot for 3 days (2 in the case of disaster items) What you shouldn’t advertise (IMHO) Expansion items, even if you don’t need them. Level 23/24 is a pain as all you see in GTHQ is Mountain and beach items. The Never ever advertise storage items. The bigger your storage the easier the game. Metal and wood factory materials, as these can be quickly obtained if you manage your factories. Much better to turn them into commercial items first. Something at the end of a production chain like Burgers. Why buy something if you can’t turn it into something else and make a profit. So by all means advertise bread, beef and BBQ’s but not Burgers that I can’t profit from What you should advertise (IMHO) Commercial items useable in production chains such as Nails, Planks, Hammers are more likely to sell than metal and wood. Look at GTHQ, see what it is selling and advertise something it isn’t. Rarely advertised commercial items will be pounced on when they appear in GTHQ because they are so hard to find. The above mentioned hammers for example.The game glitched I guess.
Even after providing adequate services to the Sims, the demand is lesser than the capacity but they still ask for connections and stay unhappy, I invested a lot and built surplus buildings for this, but still the issue stays this way. Result, the population and taxes fall, we don't earn money to do anything in the game. I hope someone from the technical team pays attention and resolves this ASAP.Several issues lately
Hello, I'd like to address several issues that have been bothering me recently. I don't know if it's all related to the update, but you probably know better. Town Album: I'm trying to complete the weekly Town Album. Since you started requiring an attraction to be upgraded, this goal has become almost impossible. I need 45,000 coins by tomorrow to upgrade Santa's Airport to level 6. I'm collecting all the coins that can be earned in the Mayor's Competition. I even bought the Mayor's Pass to get those coins as well. I'm also watching ads to get more coins. However, all of this is nowhere near enough to reach the goal. For me, completing the Town Album is no longer feasible, so I won't be investing any more in it. I've spent all my special coins on it and have nothing left to exchange for other buildings. Ads: For some time now, it's been happening quite often that when I click on "Show Ads," no ad appears. So I won't receive the reward either. That's a real shame. Illegal Advertising: One of your advertising partners is not reputable. They are displaying ads with illegal content. Well-known brands are being misused, such as LIDL, DM, or the TV show "Die Höhle der Löwen" (Shark Tank Germany) to sell dubious products. You're treading on very thin ice here. Furthermore, it's not possible to report the content as inappropriate to this advertising partner. Wheel of Fortune: When I use the Wheel of Fortune and click on an ad, I often see a commercial, but the wheel doesn't spin. It often takes two commercials to get a tiny reward. This is uninteresting to me. It's a shame, because the idea behind it is good. I hope you can use my feedback and that these points will be reviewed and addressed. Mayoral Competition: In the fourth week of the competition, I failed to reach the building the last two times, even though I completed all the tasks I could. This task was simply impossible for me. I always managed it before. Again, the task was made too difficult. Merry Christmas!
Worst CoM season
this season is the worst for bonuses. This week cannot be accomplished without purchasing the 50,000+ snowflakes at the beginning of the week for $7.99. It takes like 100+ residential upgrades (25 Cozy Houses to full upgrade) to earn enough snowflakes to get anything beyond what you get in the weekly bonus and CoM bonuses, which is a huge resource drain. You can only earn 600-700 snowflakes to fully upgrade one cozy house. I’m 30,000 snowflakes short of Level 5 and still have to build Level 6, which I have no idea how many snowflakes that is. And the balue of the items is completely ridiculous. I tried building the seasonal items to earn snowflakes but what they give you for the effort is minuscule. 250 snowflakes for 2 sleighs? That take about 4-5 hours of item building for each one?? Then you have to wait another 1.5 hours to sell more??? That is crazy. I hope next month is better or I will have to start looking for a better game to spend my time and money on.
Everything went black
Hi all. im not really looking for a discussion but i want my problem to be fixed. I have simcity buildit for a couple of years now and since a few months my game goed black every time i try to build something. I deleted the app and that doesn't work! I paid a **bleep** of money for nice buildings and luxury things 8n the game and now i can't even play it.... please help, with kind regards MarcSounds (music and other) both turned off but still getting sounds
I don't know how long this has been going on since I usually keep my phone sound (Android) turned all the way down, but I've just noticed that I am getting sounds from buildit even though I have all sounds turned off in settings. Are ads now able to override the sound settings? If so, this needs to be fixed, I do NOT want ANY sound coming from buildit. Anyone else notice this issue?Long ads in design challenges.
For the past month or so I have noticed ads that are about 2 minutes long in the game. The problem is, when in the design challenge and you want to change the items necessary to upgrade your home, the ad is so long that it will kick you out of the design Challenge and you come back and you're in your city again. And when you go back into the design challenge nothing has changed. I have contacted customer service five times about this in the last week. Now every single time I try to do this in the design challenge it's one of those long ads. It's to the point that I'm ready to uninstall the game because the design challenge is my main enjoyment from this game. No one in customer service cares , they're not going to change anything, they just want you to spend simoleons or whatever instead.
Laaaaaaaaaagy Loooooaaaaading
The current load time to start the game and move between cities is horrendous. Game regularly crashes or just doesn’t do anything and I have to force quit and restart and then restart my device. Current enjoyment level 0 out of 10. Stop messing this thing up already and just make it playable.
