Community ManagerI hear you. Disappointment for sure, especially after playing for such a long time, designing everything perfectly, and spending so much built up Simoleons and Simcash to upgrade services.
I hope this reply can help restore some love of the game for you.
I don't blame you for not wanting to spend real money. I refuse to spend real money.
It's quite tedious to produce, sell, watch ads and make just enough to upgrade one collection of services.
One thing I've learned, parks are not required for 100% happiness, neither are landscape, beach, hot spots, mountain, landmarks, etc. those are nice for earning epic tokens and taxes, but not required for happiness.
Consider the slow approach for now, if it will help.
One could put all population boosters in storage, focus entirely on everything above the line in the menu and you would receive 100% happiness.
Population boosters are nice for increased revenue.
Consider demolishing all roads and starting over with the roads and only fixing red roads that pop up, yellow roads really don't matter.
It may take some time, but that is a quick way to earn Simoleons along with producing and selling everything and watching ads.
That has been my approach to this grueling process.
Slow and steady wins the race. I hope you can find some enjoyment again.
Thanks but I doubt the love will return, they've killed that off a long time ago with their reductions in mayor pass prizes, plus it's a game, not a second unpaid job, a fact that they seem to have overlooked lately - I don't and won't be playing it 24/7 which is what it seems to feel like most of the time.
