Re: OMEGA TIP

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.

@Restville an option i would recommend is not to collect from your neo buildings for a while and then hopefully it gives you the required amount.  Although i don't know myself how much you can hold before it caps.

Hope this helps.

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
