Yeah I deleted the game after the update. I woke up with all of my cities extremely angry and without enough resources to get it back to the 100% happiness all of them had before the update.
Salve , sono anni che gioco a sim city ma dopo ultimo aggiornamento non so se continuerò. Non mi è piaciuto pure niente vedere sparire tutti i servizi pensando a quanto si è faticato e speso per creare le tue città perciò lo trovo VERGOGNOSO questo aggiornamento veramente VERGOGNOSO. Per non parlare dello spostamento delle varie icone , ma voi creatori ci giocate spesso a questo gioco????? Secondo me no
I have been playing for many years and feel like the new services is forcing me to start over. All the regionals need to be rearranged just to get services to efficiently cover the areas. Simeoleons provided to update regular services but no neo simoleons for those services. All the regionals need services need upgrading but the only way to do it is a slow process of selling items. And to add insult to injury the game crashes when switching to review services. I don’t think this is playable anymore.
Sure wish this had been explained a bit better in game before I jumped in, did all the upgrades I could, and then started bulldozing residential to make room for more service buildings. Guess it's time to start a new city. Or a different game.
dear developers, please solve the issue regarding the service 2.0. The update is quite irrelevant for the game. Please fix this service issue immediately. For this update, you just need to pay more to cover everything in the game. Again, please improve this or just leave it as it was before this. Thank you.
I completely understand how it can be confusing to see a thread with a 'Solved' status when the feedback indicates the opposite, so I'll do my best to explain why you're seeing that here.
The "Marked as Solution" option is the only way we currently have to highlight informative or helpful posts so our community members can catch that information more easily and quickly. It's not limited to resolutions or fixes. Often, it's used to pin the best available advice (like troubleshooting, workarounds, etc) or the latest information (such as 'we're investigating', 'need more info', etc) we have to share at the moment.
In this case, the thread is moving quickly, with a lot of feedback coming through - which is great btw. It just means new posts can quickly push older posts down. That makes it harder for new readers to see my response and understand the purpose of this thread. So, to help minimize confusion and help it be found quickly, I've marked my post using the 'mark as solution' function purely to help pin it to the top.
I get that the 'Solved' label can be confusing and counterintuitive in these scenarios. In cases where a post I pin isn't a solution, I try to include a banner (like the one below) at the top so it's the first thing readers see before reading the rest of the post, and makes things clearer:
Emergency Guide for Mayors Impacted by Services 2.0
If you just logged into SimCity BuildIt and your happiness has plummeted, your services are in the red, and your population is dropping, you've been hit by the Services 2.0 Capacity Update.
DO NOT PANIC. DO NOT SPEND YOUR SIMOLEONS OR NEOSIMOLEONS YET.
This update is a mandatory capacity reset that forced my 7.2M city to collapse to 4.2M and cost me over 700,000 Neo-Simoleons before I found the solution. Learn from my mistake:
🛑 3 Critical Steps to Stabilize Your City Immediately
1. CHECK YOUR INVENTORY FOR COMPENSATION!
EA has secretly compensated long-time players with fully upgraded, max-capacity service buildings, but they dumped them into your general inventory without notification.
ACTION: Go to your Storage/Inventory Menu (where you find materials and items).
LOOK FOR: Fully upgraded buildings for Fire, Police, Health, Power, Water, Sewage, etc. These buildings are normally not storable, which is why everyone missed them.
GOAL: Place the gifted max-level buildings immediately to cover your highest demand areas and raise your overall city service capacity. This is the free fix that will stop the collapse.
2. DO NOT WASTE RARE CURRENCY
Do not spend large amounts of Neo-Simoleons (NS) or Simoleons on upgrading your existing, low-level service buildings until you have placed all the gifted buildings.
The Cost: Upgrading Omega services across the new 10 levels costs hundreds of thousands of Neo-Simoleons and may not even fix the problem (I spent250K NS on a Level 8 Water upgrade that still didn't fix the shortage).
The Strategy: Use the free buildings first. Only upgrade your existing buildings as a last resort to fill small gaps.
3. PRIORITIZE ABANDONED HOMES
If your happiness dropped below 80%, you have abandoned buildings.
ACTION: Fix these immediately! Abandoned homes do not pay taxes and create a materials sink.
The Cost: They require standard materials (wood, nails, etc.). Focus your factories on generating these items to get your tax-paying population back online.
⚠️ Final Warning: The Hidden Costs
ControlNet: Be aware that ControlNet Towers and Drone services are also capacity limited and will require expensive Neo-Simoleon upgrades. Stabilize your main utilities first.
Tax Revenue: Your daily tax revenue will likely be crippled. You must prioritize using your Trade Depot and factories to make up the lost income.
Good luck, Mayors. If you've stabilized your city with the gifted buildings, please share your success story in the comments!
