OMEGA TIP

Hi guys and gals.

I am looking at this forum and another forum and i can clearly tell there is an issue with the OMEGA update.  

I'll start by saying i do like.  I'm a fan of new buildings, i think the mall is a benefit and after already kiting a large section of my map in streetcars, I'm happy that i will have something else to progress on with.

Now it does seem that i may be in the small majority of players that actually feel like this.  So i want to lay down how i feel OMEGA should be tackled.

First off my stats.  I'm level 54, population 1.7 mill, tax income 25k, 320 slots and have 3 expansions left, not including mountains and beach.

So from what i've seen of most mayors this is a pretty decent level to be at and in my mind, why most people are having issues with OMEGA.

From what i understand, it comes in at level 30.  If i was to rewind to that stage, my income wouldn't be anywhere near what it is at the moment and I'd obviously have a big deal of space issue.  I've managed to get a really decent area covered with Tokyo, Paris and London buildings.  

From my perspective if you are starting this with a much lower income, or population space then you are already setting yourself back from other players who have the ability to constantly produce OMEGA items, who can rearrange their city to accommodate more buildings and those that seriously put probably to much time into the game.

Generally a time issue will fix most problems with the OMEGA update.  Keep playing the game, be patient and tackle it when you have a better ability too.  It's like the Epic projects, I couldn't do them without the income i have to constantly buy things from the market or a decent item space.

Good Luck.

    By playing with the loopholes, and waiting till I get $16,000, then selling something like the Neo Power Plant that will put me at $21,000.  I know its wierd, and seems like a waste to do it, but the NeoSims are pouring in.

    I'm been patient with the Omega related items.  But I have to say it's very trying and tiring.

    I only do anything Omega related when a Mayor's challenge requires it.

    Which brings me to a very sore point:  One of the challenges is getting a certain number of Neosimoleonss.  In every case except one, the amount required was always more than the Neo residences produce in a 24 hour period.  I'm usually 12 hours short.  And hoping for an offer to buy some of the stuff is exceedingly rare.  Unlike everything else, no amount of cheetah tokens will help, no amount of SimCash will help, no amount of Neosimoleons will help.  You are stuck either never starting the challenge, starting and aborting, or seeing it through at a tremendous cost to time.

    Deliveries can be sped up with Simcash.  Missing Dr Vu items can be handled by Simcash.  Creating 18 fire pits can be handled by lots of cheetah tokens.

    Even making 51 electrical components when the factory capacity is only 50 can be handled by using Simcash to make the 51st item (avoiding an extra seven hours of wait time).

    But collecting Neosimoleons which could require 36 hours with no way to speed it up?  That's just ridiculous.  If you're going to take people's hard earned money, then provide a way for us to give it to you!  Or change it.

    I'm only interested in the CoM, nothing else in the game matters. For every action I do I always consider how it will affect my chances in this or the next CoM I will do (I only do it seriously every other week because I need to collect enough  VU items).
    What I do is to make sure I can do the 1840 (highest points I've seen) neosimolean missions is to already have a "sell neo stuff" that will cover what is missing from a day production.
    Also I would like to add that it is easy to use sim cash to speed it up. Making the cannisters in the labs have an option to use sim cash and you also have the option in the research center. So you can essentially produce as much Omega items as you can afford( in real life money) since you will get new sell options after a short wait. The only thing that might stop you is if you are doing an epic project at the same time since you won't see the "sell Omega items" bubble when doing an epic project. But then agaian you can use sim cash to quickly finish the project (to gold) and you will see the "sell neo stuff" again

    Ok, I don't have any tips but I have approximately 150 Omegas and all are fully upgraded. So, there's nothing to upgrade, nothing to buy, my bank and storage are huge and guess what? There's nothing to play- mo more to see folks- Play has just stopped. I refuse to go all in to buy all Omega gear because my costs increase on power plants etc so we're at an impasse. I will say I refuse the omega sale requests until I get the money I want and at a certain point, my bank was full full and now what? If EA wants folks to continue playing, they've got to give an inch somewhere
