SimCity (2013) - ALT+W Not Working
Is anyone else having current issues with the money cheats (ALT+W and CTRL+A:T+W) when playing single player sandbox mode? I can use the cheats to toggle the other stuff (fire, crime, control net, etc) but it no longer lets me use the money cheats to add money. I've tried playing in offline mode on EA, removed all mods, and reinstalled the game. Still doesn't work. Is there a fix?
Strong Suggestions to Improve SimCity BuildIt Club Communication and Management
Message: Dear SimCity BuildIt Team I’m reaching out as a long-time player and current Vice President of the Mayor’s Club “Championz_LandLordz.” The club system is one of the best parts of SimCity BuildIt — it brings players from all over the world together to collaborate, compete, and build amazing cities. However, several improvements could make the club experience even more effective, organized, and enjoyable for everyone. Here are our strongest recommendations and the reasons they would benefit the community: —Member Tagging System:— Allow players to tag or mention members by name (for example, using “@username”). This would help get members’ attention quickly during wars, trades, or important announcements — improving coordination and communication. —Club Polls and Voting Tools:— Add a simple poll or voting feature that lets presidents or deputies create polls for club decisions, such as war participation, leadership votes, or event planning. This would make clubs more democratic and engaging. —Simpler Club Invitation and Recruitment System:— Introduce a section that shows players who are not currently in any club so that presidents and deputies can invite them directly. Currently, we must search through the global trade list, which is time-consuming and inefficient. —Advanced Club Management Tools:— Allow presidents and deputies to post pinned announcements at the top of the club chat. Add a member activity tracker (such as last login or war participation) to help clubs stay active. Include options for leaders to customize club settings (e.g., language preference, city-level requirements, or war focus). —Improved Communication Features:— Add multi-line chat messages for clearer communication. Allow reactions or emojis in club chat to make it more interactive and friendly. Enable short club-wide notifications or reminders (for war start, donation requests, etc.). You should be able to talk to members privately, so you don't have to put them on the spot in front of others —Club Events and Recognition:— Create new club milestone achievements or rewards for teamwork and longevity. Introduce a Hall of Fame or expanded club leaderboard that recognizes clubs beyond just war rankings — for example, based on donations, event participation, or community engagement. These ideas would greatly strengthen player engagement, teamwork, and the overall club experience — helping clubs stay active and connected while motivating more players to stay involved long-term. Thank you for your continued dedication and creativity in developing SimCity BuildIt. Many of us have been loyal players for years because of your hard work, and we hope our feedback can help shape the future of the game positively. Sincerely, Smokie McPot Vice President, Championz_LandLordz Club of Rufftown’s club
Can't load SimCity
Can't load SimCity. I've been at it for over an hour and contacting support is, well not help full. Here's the screen shots of the error and a screen shot of the main screen while trying to log in. They did tell me there might be an issue with the servers and to try again later. Doubtful, but OK. Try again tomorrow.SimCity 2013 stuck at loading screen
I recently bought a new Asus Vivobook 16 Flip (Lunar Lake) laptop. My OS is Windows 11 Home. I installed SimCity and I'm having a huge issue. I start the game. It makes me watch the long intro video and then it goes to the main start page with a spinning wheel in the upper right hand corner. The menu never appears. Sometimes if I restart and reload the game it will get to the main menu but when I try and load my city (Titan Gorge) it gets stuck at the loading screen. How do I fix this without uninstalling and reinstalling the game every time? This is ridiculous.Will there ever be a new "Sim City" (not buildit) game?
Is there ever a chance of a real Sim City game being developed (mobile included)? SimCity BuiltIt is just not... SimCity. That game has turned into a whirlpool of never ending tracks and has completely lost its way from what SimCity originally was. The first Sim City game I played was Sim City 2000 - can that be ported and maybe updated to a degree to be a mobile game?
Sim City 2013 Multiplayer: friend's city is completely empty
Hi everyone, My friend and I are trying to play SimCity 2013 multiplayer, but we've hit a game-breaking bug and are looking for help. TL;DR: Our cities don't sync and always appear as empty plots (ghost cities) to each other. This happens on every server we try (EU, NA). We also found a major time desync between our games. The Problem When we play in a region together, the following happens: I can see her city name on the correct plot, but the city itself is just an empty field. She sees the same thing for my city: an empty plot with the correct name. Visiting each other's city just loads an empty map. System Details We are playing on PC, launching through the EA App. I am playing via PC Game Pass (which includes EA Play). My friend owns the game directly on the EA App. What We've Already Tried Waiting for over an hour for the game to sync. Restarting the game and the EA App multiple times. Sending money to force a sync (my game said "Success," but the money never arrived). Creating brand new regions on different servers (EU East, NA East). The bug happens every single time. Key Clues We Found Partial Sync: Basic info like city names syncs correctly, but the actual city data (roads, buildings, etc.) does not. Time Desync: We discovered our games are running on different timelines inside the same region. For example, my city was in "August, Year 1" while my friend's was in "January, Year 1." Has anyone run into a bug like this before, especially the time desync issue? Are there any known fixes we haven't tried? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. EDIT/UPDATE: The Final Nail in the Coffin For anyone following this, I just performed one final test. I tried to use the in-game feature to "Transfer Multiplayer Region to Single Player" to see if I could at least save my own city. The result was exactly what you might expect: the process got stuck on an infinite loading screen. Specifically, it hung while trying to download my friend's city data. This confirms the data for her city is not just invisible, but so fundamentally corrupted or incomplete on the server that it cannot even be packaged for a download. The "ghost town" is, for all intents and purposes, a ghost file on EA's servers. From all regions.
