Disgusting specialization index
The specialization index is really really disgusting! First ,the higher index the building provide, I need higher index to unlock, that actually regulate the sequence I build those buildings. It also means that I need to build some architecture that I don’t want to build before I build my desired building .Second, the index in region and capital isn’t calculated together .Thus I always need to move buildings gathering together once I want to gain a higher score — very time consuming. Furthermore , the building acquired from seasonal events blueprints showcase mayor’s pass provides no index. What’s the hell ? I hope you can change the system calculating specialization index, or cancel it at allAll hotspots bug
I have unfinished hotspots and whenever I want to use them in my city it will spam me to upgrade it. I will tap on a completely different thing and it will pull me all the way back to the hotspot telling me to upgrade it. I cannot upgrade seasonal hotspots as they are asking for cash to level the hotspot up and I think that is extortionate! I want to use my hotspots as decoration as I’ve paid for them with my hard earned money and all they do is sit in storage.Im refuse to restart my city this shouldn’t be happening can someone help me with this please?

Is anyone else as tired and fatigued with the current updates as I am? I've been playing this game for a long time, and now almost every update only brings new buildings. We desperately need fresh content and gameplay to maintain our passion for this game. For example, the long-awaited viaducts, overpasses, and new maps. In my opinion, while the game continues to release new buildings, it should pay more attention to the core of city-building itself. The current gameplay has long shifted from constructing a city to completing competition tasks. I can barely find any elements or gameplay related to building a city; instead, it's more about obtaining new buildings by finishing various tasks. Moreover, with the accumulation of time, more and more buildings can only be stored in the warehouse because the existing map in the game is already full. Therefore, we also strongly hope to have a larger map or new maps to arrange our buildings. Additionally, the game has too much room for optimization and improvement, such as enhancing the camera mode, adding different styles of filters, and cruise perspectives, to encourage players to create more works.Unable to Access Online Features Despite Being Connected to the Internet
I’m experiencing an issue in SimCity BuildIt. Even though my device is connected to the internet, the game keeps displaying a message saying I am offline. Because of this, I cannot access the online features or log in to my EA account. I’ve attached a screenshot of the warning message for your reference.
Disgusted
I have been playing this game since the start over 10 years now and I have not been so disgusted with EA since this new index concept has been introduced. All the new players joining or playing this game will not be able to buy the mountain,beach items for what I used ( gold keys and platinum keys). This is just a money grabbing scheme by the EA team and moderators who just don’t know how to even fix all of the bugs we have now! Also there has been no communication via these ppl and they just let us suffer the bugs which stops everyone playing how we want to play! I really hope that someone can and will answer all of the concerns that we ( the players) have. There’s not even been any mention of this beta mode that’s in place or has that been finished now? Who knows coz we don’t!Game crash
When I open simcity, it asks for date of birth, and after filling it, it loads and when leading is completed, the brightness of my phone lowers and suddenly the music stops and game crashes with blank screen. I have this issue since a year. I couldn't play this game from a year. I think i will never be able to login to my city that i built from my childhood days. 🥺SimCity BuildIt Entertainment Index System Ruins Progression
Dear EA Support Team, I am writing to express my deep frustration with the recent changes to the Entertainment specialization and index system in SimCity BuildIt. The new entertainment index requirements are honestly a very bad idea—they make no sense for progression and actively ruin the gameplay experience for loyal players.Specifically, almost none of the monthly Mayor's Pass or event entertainment buildings contribute to the entertainment index at all. This means that, after building the Entertainment HQ, it is literally impossible to unlock further entertainment buildings without spending huge amounts of SimCash—such as the 550 SimCash for the Football Stadium. The majority of other available buildings (Oktoberfest Funfair, Archery Competition, etc.) don't count for index and therefore stall any real progress.This system is extremely frustrating and punishes players who put time into collecting and building special event items. The index gates do not improve gameplay; they just slow everything down and force people to pay for progression. Please reconsider this pointless design and restore a fair, logical progression path for entertainment buildings so players—especially those who dedicate time to events—can actually enjoy building their cities.SCBI is Hallucinating…
Not only am I getting the “pixelated screen of death” at least twice a day, when I went back into the game this last time after a crash, an entire section of my city showed that it was without Police even though I have coverage in that area. I’ve been playing this game since 2021 and have enjoyed it. But this last update is really buggy. I hope a fix is coming soon. If not, this season is going to be painful to finish.SimCity buildit
Dear developers of SimCity buildit, i hopefully think that you might add more locations to expand territory!!!! Please make it up!! As well as I would like to see the opportunity of building Dams in your game!! Regarding the functions of the dams: it would be good if it provided electricity and water to the city!!! Please open mountains in capital to dams build between two mountains where lakes and rivers meet up!!!! (I hope you won't ignore me, it would be much more entertaining!!!!) Yours faithfully JavharIt's getting worse...
Dear EA Aside from the terrible decisions you've made for the competition of mayors, which have me agreeing with every criticism you're making, something else worthy of criticism happened this morning. I usually don't claim my Mayor's Pass rewards right away, so I can use my keys and Simoleons for the weekly challenges. Well, this morning I found everything already claimed without warning, as happens at the end of every season... For me, it's the classic straw that broke the camel's back. I've been playing SimCity since before many of your company's employees were born. Since SimCity 2000. Specifically, I discovered SimCity Buildit only five years ago and fell in love with it; it took me back to being a kid. But now, very little of that infatuation remains. I don't know what you think, but if you try to squeeze your most loyal players, sooner or later you'll end up with nothing. SimCity has long been my favorite pastime. It's my favorite pastime at night before bed, in the morning while I'm having breakfast, and even during long daily commutes on the bus and subway. But now it's becoming stressful. Why play if you're increasingly asking for money to get results? You've lost your bearings, and I hope you find them again before it's too late.Three simple suggestions to improve the overall experience
I do appreciate when new features are added to the game (ones that don't interfere with the fun - there is nothing "fun" about collecting currency and upgrading hot spots, WHOEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA WAS SORELY MISTAKEN), however, new features alone aren't enough to make the experience better. BETTER COMMUNICATION FROM EA - I'm sorry, what exactly is the purpose of this forum? It was suggested to me to post my suggestions and bug reports here but the only time I've heard from an EA staff member, it was unrelated to the game. The communication from EA and the developers is pure trash, and if they think the guides that are posted in this forum are helpful, they are not. FIX THE PERFORMANCE ISSUES IN THE GAME - I'm getting tired of my game crashing in my feeder accounts when I go to place a speciality building or... upgrade a residence! These bugs are directly tied to a Beta test THAT I DID NOT OPT IN FOR PARTICIPATION. And in my main city, it's been probably 3-4 rounds now when I go to the assignments list to either activate or complete an assignment, it randomly tells me I've reached the tier I am on. I AM SICK OF THIS. Bottom line: players either pay money or watch ads in the game, thus generating revenue for EA. BECAUSE OF THIS I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE A PRIORITY TO ENSURE THE GAME IS NOT FILLED WITH BUGS. GIVE PLAYERS ABILITY TO OPT OUT OF BETA TESTS - I am sorry, I did not consent to ANY beta tests, and I am sick of being pulled into them randomly. And, while I'd normally love to experience new features before they are live, when there are beta tests in SCBI, there's no way to report bugs that will allow the developers to receive the bug, address it, and communicate it back to me that the bug is fixed. Instead my options to report bugs are either post in this forum, or use the useless ingame help option.PRETZELS ARE A SCAM!!!
Week one allowed you to spin the wheel to earn the tokens but week 2 sees that feature removed and in its place you pay notes to win stuff of lesser value. This whole week 2 is an outright scam. We have pretzels coming out of every orifice and no way to effectively convert them. This game is getting worse each week and I'm tired of spending my real life money only to have the developers of this **bleep** game pull this kind of unethical stunt on players. I'm close to deleting....You messed up on this one
There is absolutely no way this season to get enough seasonal currency to get all the buildings. This was a huge mistake guys. Please change the conversion rates for pretzels->tokens so we can actually finish the season in subsequent weeks, and give everyone 30,000 tokens so we can finish this week.
