I’d like to submit a feature request

Hello SimCity BuildIt Development Team,

I’m a long-time SimCity BuildIt player and I’d like to submit a feature request that many players in the community have been asking for.

1. Full 3D POV / Immersive Camera View

One of the most requested features is a true 3D camera perspective that allows players to:

- Zoom in closer to street level

- Freely rotate and tilt the camera in all directions

- Look into the distance across the city (horizon view)

- Explore the city in a more immersive way, similar to flying a drone or walking through the city.                                                                                While SimCity BuildIt already uses 3D graphics, the current camera is limited to an angled top-down view. A more flexible POV system would greatly enhance immersion and make players feel more connected to their cities.

 

2. Street-Level or Citizen Perspective (Optional Mode)

Many players would love an optional mode where they can:

- View streets, buildings, parks, and landmarks from ground level

- Watch traffic, citizens, and city life up close

- Enjoy the city they built, not just manage it

This could be a purely visual feature without affecting gameplay performance.

3. Improved Visual Distance & Detail

Players also request:

- Better draw distance so the city feels larger and more realistic

- Enhanced lighting, shadows, and reflections when zoomed in

- More visible animations for vehicles, services, and citizens.                                                                   4. Other Popular Community Requests

In addition to camera improvements, players often ask for:                                                                   - More realistic traffic behavior and animations - Expanded map sizes or unlockable districts.    - Deeper city simulation options (services, zoning, policies)                                                              - More customization for buildings, roads, and landmarks

Why This Matters

SimCity BuildIt is visually beautiful, and adding a more immersive 3D POV would:                               - Increase player engagement and satisfaction - Make cities feel more alive and personal

• Bring the mobile SimCity experience closer to PC-level immersion
• Thank you for continuing to support and improve SimCity BuildIt. I hope you will consider these features for future updates, as they are highly desired by the community.

 

Kind regards,Adrian
