Remove this latest update

This latest update to SimCity BuildIt completely misses the mark and honestly drains the fun out of what used to be a relaxing, creative game. Instead of expanding on what made the game enjoyable—city design, individuality, and strategic growth—it forces players into constant micromanagement of services like fire departments, police stations, hospitals, and utilities. That’s not engaging gameplay—it’s a chore.

Now I’m stuck repeatedly maintaining and renovating buildings I’ve already completed, with little to no visible improvement or meaningful change to my city. It feels redundant and unrewarding. On top of that, this system burns through simoleons and SimCash at an exhausting rate, pushing players to spend more resources just to keep things running rather than actually progressing or building something new.

The worst part is how much time this demands. Instead of enjoying the creative aspects of the game, I’m spending the majority of my playtime putting out fires—literally and figuratively—just to maintain a baseline. That’s not why people play this game. This shift toward constant upkeep is inefficient, frustrating, and ultimately unsustainable for long-term players.

If this direction continues, it’s going to drive players away. The core appeal of SimCity BuildIt has always been creativity, personalization, and the satisfaction of building something unique. This update undermines all of that.

I strongly suggest removing or reworking the renovation and maintenance system. Instead, focus on what players actually want: new building upgrades, diverse architectural styles, seasonal themes, and holiday content that brings life and variety to our cities. Bring back the emphasis on individuality, commerce, and innovation—the elements that made the game stand out in the first place.

Right now, it feels like the game is moving backward instead of forward. This isn’t the direction a beloved and popular game should be heading.
