I started this thread 8 months ago & Im still alive today. If I only knew then what I know now...


So despite all the things wrong with this game & those mean old developers who only want our money, I will hit 4 million sims by tomorrow. I have 120 epic buildings, 100 Omega buildings, 300 gold rings with nothing to spend them on. When the game frustrated me, I stop playing for awhile. And no I am not paid by EA, nor am I an EA apologist

Yes the sun is always shining in my world, the sky is blue, birds are singing. My cup is always half full...I recommend that you try it some time

Thats my rant...

Rant not appreciated!! 

I just started playing in late Oct 2017. Omega sys is a FAIL!  The random nature of it is behond irratating, but apparently the game needed something to eat up the simoleans.

  • Hi esshavj22,

    I have no issue with your frustration, sounds sort of like what Betty said 8 months ago. The only suggestion I offer is Betty found a way around their frustrations and with time perhaps you will as well. Contrary to popular opinion, at it’s core this game is a city building game and it takes time to develop a robust an economically self sufficient city. Take time, relax, work through the challenges, walk away when you’re frustrated but most importantly enjoy the game (maybe not the Omega part). 🙂 Good luck to you.

    Then I suggest you quit playing. Many users have succeeded quite nicely despite the evils purpotrated by EA. This is not to say that there are not frustrations with the game, I choose to perceive them as challenges. That way I don’t appear hypocritical as I continue to play.

    Isn’t it a shame that EA didn’t write this game to meet your approval?
  • Hi Betty, They just got started in October, I’m thankful I got started when the game first came out before it got so convoluted. I know it has to be frustrating and I’m sure they didn’t intend any personal offense your way, just venting. Personally, I liked your rant. 🙂 Take care.

    Thanks for your positive comments. I didn't take it personally, everybody is entitled to their opinion. It just gets old listening to some people complain. I too have been around since inception and have seen a lot of things come and go, both good and bad. This is the only game I have ever played and have no other experience with EA, so I have no other point of reference. I think they make some bad decisions with regard to how the game is played, however, I recognize and support the fact that they produce this game in order to make a profit. I have learned that in this society, p[laying online games is not a mandatory activity to sustain one's life. So if you don't like something, you are free to choose not to participate. I have read comments from some who feel it is their inalienable right to play this game the way they think it should be played and EA be damned if something doesn't go as they wished.

    There are any number of things that each of us feel should be different or changed: its too slow moving from city to city, I can't connect to the server, there are too may sugar & spices on the Global Market (and cheese fries) etc etc. but what difference would it make. Either you play or you don't ...
