Omega
I would like to see in the report card the following. Omega buildings quantity. Drones quantity. Further to this I would like to see or be able to find items that I have in storage e.g mass transport items to be put into the transport specialisation to make them easier to locate. There are other items in the Mayors Specialisation that could also be put into similar specialisations, landmarks,for example, This will give the devs something else to do other than silly coins that we get each CoM. Just a suggestion and hopefully it’s taken on board
More Services Needed...????
I just went into my cities with this new upgrade. To my Horror I'm finding that my Omega buildings need more control nets and in my regions I need more regional coverage. I have made no changes in either of these areas since I FIXED the mess Services 2.0 created. What the heck is going on? Only change is the NEW Mass Trans Hqtrs. What did you do to us this time EA?
Pro's & Cons of the last season
The main advantage of the latest season is that the developers separated the purchase of decor and the seasonal zone upgrades. Now you don't have to choose what to spend tokens on and what to ignore. BUT! What idiot came up with a time limit on token purchases? I currently have 800,000 (and that's still a little), but I can't do anything with them. And what's the point of this absurdity? Moreover, if you do the math: to get 999 week tokens, you need to tap the screen for 10 hours straight! Was it really that complex an idea to remove the time limit?SimCity BuildIt - Update 1.77.2 - 28/04/2026

My Green Valley island is missing Railroad that connects the island together. On mine, I can create the railroad and connect it with the 2nd island but not the 3rd. Railroad tracks are missing in the protected area of the game. I have shut down, reloaded the game and still missing.A 10-Year Perspective: Why Current Monetization Are Ending Player Retention
As a player since launch and a Club President for over five years, I’ve seen this game evolve through many cycles. However, I am writing today to report a significant decline in morale and participation within the veteran community. As a retired Navy veteran, I look at the game through the lens of logistics and sustainability. Currently, the "Total Cost of Ownership" for a city has reached a tipping point where it is no longer sustainable for the average player. Key Issues for Review: Service 2.0 Impact: While the intent may have been to provide higher-tier infrastructure, the rollout has functioned as a massive real-estate and resource "tax" that has left many long-term players depleted. Mandatory Ad Integration: Transitioning ads from optional rewards to functional requirements for CoM tasks and Daily Assignments has fundamentally changed the "vibe" of the game from entertainment to a chore. Reward Shrinkflation & Gambling: We are seeing a "pay more, get less" trend across all prize tracks (Mayor’s Pass, Train, and Vu). Reward tiers that previously offered guaranteed high-value buildings or SimCash are being replaced with smaller quantities of low-value items. Even worse, guaranteed rewards are being replaced by "Mystery Boxes," which introduces a gambling mechanic into a game that should be based on effort and strategy. The Household Budget Reality: We are currently in an inflationary period where the cost of living (including $4–$6/gallon gas) is at a record high. When a game demands more financial and time investment during such a period, it becomes the first thing households cut. My Observation: I am seeing a drastic drop in War participation and a "quiet quitting" trend among my most dedicated members. Veterans are the "institutional memory" of your game; if we lose the veteran base because the game feels like an "Economic Pressure Cooker," the social fabric of the Clubs will dissolve. We are looking for a return to a balance where spending is an option for aesthetics, not a requirement for basic progression.Graphical glitches in SCBI - Pink Pixelated Frozen Screen
The game has severe graphical glitches. The background shows black and pink checkerboard patterns, and most of the buildings and structures appear completely white, losing all textures. Some menus and icons still display normally, but the overall screen looks broken, as if the textures failed to load. Every time this happens, I have to close and reopen the game to continue playing, but after only a few minutes the issue comes back. This occurred many times today, making the game nearly unplayable. My phone is an iPhone 11, and it still has plenty of storage space. This issue kept happening repeatedly throughout yesterday. [CM - Edited title for clarity]
Ads lock up and never granted rewards.
first, the AI help beta is awful. Let’s call it Alpha. the ads that grant reward run through and you receive the rewards granted X in the corner, however the X does not work. You cannot get out of the ad. You have to force close SimCity buildit and go back in. Only to find the reward was never granted. What has happened to EA - it’s become so buggy and unreliable.Technical Observation: Massive Data Bloat after Rollout (33 GB)
I am opening this thread to share an important observation regarding game performance following the recent rollout. After the update, I experienced severe lagging. Upon checking my tablet’s storage settings, I found that the App Data (not the cache) had increased to a staggering 33 GB. Solution found: I performed a full uninstallation and a clean reinstall. The app data is now back to 360 MB, and the game runs smoothly again. This suggests that the new rollout might have a bug in how it handles or downloads data assets, leading to this extreme storage consumption. A simple cache-clear does not solve this. I would highly recommend that the technical team looks into this data management issue. In the meantime, I suggest other players check their total storage usage if they encounter similar performance problems. Thank you for lookingI into this!
