Not enough time.

I really only can play once a day for 30 minutes or so. How am I supposed to be able to do any of the epic projects? Second, why does the trade headquarters only provide me with sugar & spice and glass 98% of the time. I cannot find any of the special items I need to upgrade my Parisian residences. I’m not very far into the game but it is rapidly becoming unfun. I cannot seem to make enough money keep up with the city services and utilities. I cannot play eight hours a day or check in 15 different times. Suggestions? Or should I just ditch this for a different game? Ice so much prefer the original sim city game from the 90s.

  • You got it..  You are expected to use lots of time and money.   It's not supposed to be fun (like the original building "game"}  Read through all these posts and you will see that most people are not happy as it is generally complaints.  I am not quite sure why others do it but I use it to pass  the time occasionally.  I do not expect to win mayors contests, design challenges and I never signed up for war.  BUT I have played it on my terms for a number of years  on my terms and am mostly happy with it.  I don't even keep my cities in any  particular working order anymore but just change them around as I want.   You have to decide if your time is worth the return.. Good luck

  • @jimwymr Thirty minutes per day is really tough to play this game.
    I have more time than sense being retired and addicted to this game. All my regular buildings are Epics, I do wars, try to win 1st place in the Contest of Mayor's and I give EA real money too. I really need to get outside more often and see the real world.

    You won't get far.  Need to collect taxes for a week sometimes to build things.  

    Need to make any sell wood.
