Sounds (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?Keep lvl. 1-5 buildings
Hi everyone, is there a way to keep buildings at any lvl. from 1 to 5 without the annoying upgrade message popping up? I want to build a city with variety of buildings not just luxurious lvl. 6 which all look the same. Second, can EA please give us railway bridges permanently? I think it’s such a necessary item to build a city with rivers and railways. I have a river with a railroad going across it, so i basically have a gap in the river with the railroad being on the ground which looks awful, but there is no other way.Game-breaking service bug after update
I want to document a serious, update-induced bug in SimCity BuildIt that has affected my city and, judging by recent threads, many other players as well. What happened Immediately after a recent update, my city developed persistent service errors: Buildings showed red lightning / repair / service icons despite large overcapacity City view and edit view were often inconsistent Service problems followed buildings when moved New buildings sometimes worked, old ones stayed broken Repair / service states became “stuck” and never resolved naturally This was not caused by roads, coverage, or insufficient capacity. All core services (Power, Water, Sewage, Garbage, Fire, Police, Health) were clearly sufficient. EA Support experience (7 attempts) I contacted EA Support seven times. Every response was generic They repeatedly sent irrelevant guides (freezing, reinstalling, clearing cache) They never escalated to a technician They completely ignored the fact that this was a data corruption / state bug One case was even closed without resolution Support simply does not understand this issue and refuses to treat it as technical. The actual technical problem (important) This is not a coverage issue. It is service-state corruption at building level, introduced by the update: Global service systems are fine Individual buildings have corrupted service flags These flags do not reset automatically Normal gameplay cannot fix it What EA needs to do to fix affected cities For existing cities, the only real fix is: A server-side reset of building service states / flags (or a forced full service reinitialization per city) Anything else is just deflection. What finally worked (player-side nuclear option) With help from ChatGPT, I did what support never suggested: Moved factories and shops out of the city Deleted all roads Deleted all services Deleted all residential buildings I could Left only unsellable buildings (Omega / Epic / task-related) Closed the app and waited Rebuilt the city from zero, extremely slowly: One service at a time One house at a time Long pauses between actions After this total teardown and controlled rebuild, the city is finally stabilizing again. New buildings behave normally, services are consistent, and the city appears “saved”. This should never be required in a live-service game. Conclusion This bug is real It is widespread EA Support is not equipped to handle it Players are being forced to destroy their cities to recover EA needs to: Acknowledge this as an update regression Escalate cases to actual technicians Provide a server-side fix for affected cities Until then, players are on their own. If you’re experiencing similar behavior, you are not doing anything wrong.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.Temu ad please fix.
The Temu ad in the game is not functioning correctly. When the ad appears, it forces me to the Google Play Store and will not allow me to close it or return to the game. It just bounces between the ad and the play store. Because of this, it’s hit or miss whether I actually receive the reward for watching the ad. This is happening repeatedly and is very frustrating. I don't even want to click on the ad anymore.Please fix this ad or remove it from my rotation.Constant power shortage, what should I do?
Hi! I keep having issues where buildings say they are getting no power or no water and that I need to fix this issue. I keep buying new power plants and new water plants and it’s not doing anything. I double checked and all my power/ water plants are connected to all the houses. It also says that my capacity for both beats the demand! So i’m not sure why i’m having this issue. What should I do? The happiness rating keeps going down and sims keep moving out. I attached one screenshot showing the capacity being greater than the demand and one of my city. Please help!

Hi there Why does it say that everywhere is out of water when I have plenty and all of my water is connected to roads? I've added some screenshots so you can see what I mean. This happened before with electricity and then one day just randomly disappeared, and was replaced with a water shortage with no apparent reason for it Please help!Regions Population Calculation Error
I am playing SimCity Buildit on iPhone 17 - latest iOS. The game is not calculating my regions population correctly. I have 5 regions and well over 4 million population. But it is reporting a blue 2.5 million. Anyway me else have this issue or am I misunderstanding how regions population works?Building service demand
My girlfriends cities building service demands are significantly higher than mine but I have a larger population and can’t work out why it’s different for both of us as she had a 7000 population but her demands for water and electric were 148 where as mine for an 10000 population was only 21
