Please, EA!!
Have an all-bubble off/on switch. (I assume EA doesn't because then how would they be able to encourage everyone to keep making progress and needing to pay for stuff.) BUT, you could even make it a paid thing. I'd give 99¢ to have the option to turn all the bubbles off or on at will. Please, EA! Do it!!!

This is a reply to kind of an old Post, April 2019. I was wondering if a mod could update the thread into a new topic. Would like to see discussion on this.
With the latest season, the Latin bldgs, a feature like this is sorely needed. @jaynew16 has a great topic subject for us to hash out!
Good to see someone reading old topics and threads, @jaynew16. Get some older mayor wishes back on the burners.
Thanks for any attention the mods give this request. 😃
@cricket4103 - Your wish is my command 🙂
@jaynew16 - Thank you for bringing the topic back up. The PC SimCity game has an option to "remove the UI" when taking a screenshot; it would be awesome to see some way to do the same thing in SCBI
@BlackjackWidow Thanks, @BlackjackWidow! when I saw the beginning Latin bldgs, I recognized the style immediately. It was great to see something from where I live. But then I had to upgrade to the ultimate bldg to get rid of the bleeping helmet. And those bldgs could honestly be the same one. Real cities don't look like this. Why should ours?
As @jaynew16 pointed out, not everyone wants to upgrade every bldg. That's where an end construction feature would be welcome.

Yeah, but the photo mode has the annoying big banner across the top. And I want to be able to continue to play too, which the photo mode doesn't allow.
@jaynew16 I’m a bit confused, in your initial post you mentioned a bubble on/off switch but it looks like the response has been focused on the yellow helmet (upgrade) which is a great idea and the responses have been excellent. It may just be me, but a bubble on/off switch appears to a different conversation...do you mind clarifying for me? Thanks.

@roccodonovan8 I recognize my thought process is often in left field...but there’s a good reason for that, once they decided a left hander couldn’t play shortstop I spent the balance of my time roaming the left side of the outfield. Thanks for clarifying my thought process was on target. I’m in full agreement with you, I love to see bubbles in my city - I have roughly a 20% shot of getting something free and 100% chance when visiting someone else’s city. I’m also on the same page with helmets I want to know what needs upgrading but I do understand some folks like smaller residential buildings as an example and an on/off switch is an excellent suggestion. Take care, great to see you.
@PinnacleValley @roccodonovan8 @jaynew16 I believe Jay meant upgrade helmets. That's how I read it. I know Jay said bubbles but being able to hide helmets when we are active in our city is i believe what was meant. Correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you all!
Yes, I mostly am referring to the yellow helmet "bubbles" but really ANY semi-permanent pop-up/bubble: yellow helmet and journal ones, specifically. E.g., I have a journal one on a fully upgraded low wealth building, and I can't bulldoze it until I finish all three achievements smh.
Maybe a "snooze" option on these would work, where the bubble would disappear for an hour or few (or at least long enough to enjoy the look of your city, or to bulldoze a useless building).
