Hi folks, I just realized that my EA account lost all the order history (I only have a "quest_item" listed there without any value), and I am not being able to play some games. I have the licenses since I bought them and played before, but now I can't download anymore because it says that I can't download since I have to buy it (the actual message is in the attached print screen). I don't have the order history to proof I bought it anymore either. Just my screen that displays I own the game as you can see in the attached image. Do you guys know how to proceed? I am having issues with: SimCity Limited Edition Battlefield 3 The Sims 3 The other games at least are installing and working, but still is kind of bizarre.daniel_c_seabra4 days agoRising Newcomer30Views0likes1CommentThis game requires administrative privileges
See attachments. I run as a user on Windows 11 pro 23H2, so need to give explicit permission to run as administrator. Running the EA app as administrator gives the same result. I also tried running the simcity.exe file as administrator, but the same error messages appear, so no difference. I tried uninstalling the EA app and reinstalling, same result. Also tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling the game, same result. The crazy thing is this game ran fine on this machine earlier and I haven't changed anything. Maybe there's been an update from Microsoft or EA that made it stop working? The machine is a powerful modern PC with: 128GB RAM, 12 core 24 threads Ryzen 9 5900X, Radeon RX 6900XT GPU The machine specification has staid the same since it was working. No new components have been installed.AccousticSwede7 days agoSeasoned Newcomer521Views7likes5CommentsSimCity Build It Glitching
I recently started playing again. Every time I try to access anything in the buildings (hard hat) hub, the game glitches. This is only in my capital. Works fine in my other four cities. I play on an iPad mini. iOS is up to date.7zhipp1hpo1920 days agoSeasoned Newcomer110Views1like1CommentSMCY-26 Error
I am having issues with the 2013 SimCity game. I bought it today and the game loads to about ninety percent and then gives the SMCY 26 error code. EA support has not been helpful. I spent hours trying to fix this with no success. I repaired the game in the EA app reinstalled it into a fresh folder outside Program Files checked folder permissions set the EA app to run as administrator confirmed that no antivirus is active deleted leftover files from Documents and Local AppData restarted and updated my PC disabled startup apps and tried running the game in Windows 7 mode. My PC meets all system requirements. If anyone has suggestions please let me know. I do not know what else to try.hahng200624 days agoRising Newcomer146Views1like1CommentSimcity Societies Destinations only loads base game
Hi, I am playing SimCity Societies Destinations on a Lenovo Ideapad laptop on Windows 10. I have tried a number of steps (opening game via EA App, opening SCSDestinations.exe directly, etc.) but the Expansion is not recognised by the EA App and does not open. I can open the base game with no patches (the patches come as part of the Destinations expansion) and open a map without issue, just the aforementioned missing content. I have tried reinstalling the game and the EA App but this did not work. I have previously been able to play Destinations on this device (a few months ago) but had to reinstall as the game began crashing to desktop when I revisited it recently. This was preceded by the EA App also requiring reinstallation as it was failing to start.Solved3.9KViews4likes26CommentsGritty Mine in Cactus Canyon
Good day! I love SimCity, and one of my favorite regions is Cactus Canyon. Would it be possible to create at least one area in the Mountain Area (for example, the one I circled) so that I can place The Gritty Mine there? The mine looks amazing, and the only region where it really fits design-wise is Cactus Canyon. It’s not necessary to add the train line there. I would just like to be able to place that mine, as it would look great in that spot. Please try to make it possible somehow. I love this game, and I congratulate the creators for the excellent work they’ve done so far.27Views0likes0CommentsSimcity gets crashing

Hello So, it's not a new topic but since none of previous solutions work im starting new discussion. When launching simcity societies from app , or from all diffrent exe apps in folder ,destinations addon content just doesn't show up. I've literally tried every solution, copying shortcuts, moving destinations folder etc none of it works. Back when origin was running destinations were seperate game you could launch, maybe making it seperate game on ea app and not an addon could fix this problem.JacobeyPL1 month agoSeasoned Newcomer188Views4likes3CommentsERROR CODE SMCY-2

Subject: Feature Proposal: Advanced Market Search & Auto-Refresh System Dear SimCity BuildIt Development Team, I am writing to you as a dedicated Mayor with a specific two-part proposal to enhance the Global Trade HQ experience. The Proposal: Part 1: Advanced Search Filter (To the Left of the "General" tab) Adding a filter button that allows players to: - Select up to 5 specific items to search for simultaneously. - Set a quantity range (from 1 to 5 units). - Set a custom price range (e.g., from 5 Simoleons up to a custom limit like 3000). Part 2: Intelligent Refresh Timer (To the Right of the "General" tab) Implementing a 10-minute active session timer. Once activated: - The market listings will automatically refresh every 30 seconds for the duration of the 10 minutes. - This allows Mayors to see a constant stream of new sellers without having to manually close and reopen the market. Why this is needed: These features would make the Global Market much more dynamic and efficient, helping Mayors find exactly what they need within their budget and time frame. I hope to see these improvements in a future update. Thank you for your amazing work on this game!

I really don't like the mass transit because it takes up so much space, but barely covers any area and it feels like half my city is just going to be train stations. Even the ones that have the most coverage don't seem to be enough. Is there anything that's going to change with this? Is covering my city for mass transit even worth it7zwq7f0qx00n1 month agoRising Novice33Views0likes0Comments
