Greetings Mayors, A new update is available in the App Store and Google Play, including some behind-the-scenes improvements and bug fixes. Features: A manual refresh button has been added to the Global Trade HQ If an item in a seller’s Trade Depot has been sold the item will not appear with a “Sold” tag Mayor Daniel’s Trade Depot now stocks Tokyo Town items, city limit expansion items, inventory expansion items and Dr Vu items. Bug fixes: Fixed crash bugs related to the Global Trade HQ and the Trade Depot Building upgrade bubbles no longer randomly change place No more “impossible” Cargo Ship Challenges Other minor bug fixes Happy building!

What is the rationale for being so adamant about not overhauling the Global Trade. What is the fear? You still have yet to address the biggest issue of all: I am offered something that I cannot buy. I have spent the last 2 days trying to by 1 expansion part. Just 1. Probably 3 hours total of playing. Can't buy 1 lousy expansion part. I get to see it in the GTHQ once in a while, but those llamas always have an accounting error. If you are going to offer me something to buy, at least make sure I have 5 seconds to buy it. There is nothing more frustrating than your own architecture/framework that prevents an integral part of the game from working. I would gladly have only 4 random choices to choose from - if I knew I could actually buy the item.There is even a splash page that says use the Global Trade HQ to buy and sell the things you need. You should remove that page since it is a blatant lie. You cannot buy what you need. It is a farce.

Have our prayers been answered? Oh man, good attempt guys. BUT now we waste time actually going to the city only to find that item sold! HOW about making it say sold in the GTHQ window????

Plus anyone has an item and put it up may not be online to accept any bids. what needs to be done is a filtering system and add more items to the the GTHQ window. Make the the window larger to accommodate these changes.Suggestions like mine have been out there for more than 8 weeks now. For some reason EA IS NOT WILLING TO re-design the GTHQ.

USELESS update.NO HQ market improved, NO option for lock our favorite buildings(or option to hide baloons upgrade), NO optimization of the game (in my samsung tab S with 8 core and 3 gm ram is slow!!)......😕mileyfrustrated:

Thanks for the new update. In the next one could you make it so when someone buys something from my trade depot it shows who purchased it? My club has trolls and items are being traded between specific people but some players are jumping in and buying items right as they are being posted. It would make a level of accountability in clubs.
Items in neo mall are priced way out of proportion to what they are being ask to buy from "others". It has been next to impossible to expand my neo bank due to random factory output. I have 12 of one item and none of others and the others are being used to build omega buildings. Maybe limit items for omega storage and bank to specific items like locks, bars and cameras. Or be able to "make" specific omega items instead of random generated. Have enjoyed the game just like everything in life it needs tweaks.

Bumping this reply. Mayor's clubs NEED to have the ability to show club members' names when they buy from your GTHQ. Members are silently sniping items that others are trading with each other, and its impossible to tell who the culprit is. I've kicked out mass amounts of new members to try to flush out the bad one, but each time I try to recruit more so the club chat becomes a bit more active, someone starts stealing again.
I have purchased a decent amount of simcash over the year and a bit I've been playing (well over what a new Switch game costs; closer to two) but I'm not spending any more real cash until this is fixed.

Agree with the snipping; perhaps also some sort of secure trade between two parties, as often people arnt usually on at the same time. Other suggestions:
1. Clubs have rankings and rewards for each season, i.e. The whole club gets rewarded based on number of plumb points achieved at the end of the season/week
2. Pls reduce the profanity filter, I can't even say "sucks" without looking like I have Tourette's
3. Make a way for presidents/vps to reward memebers, like giving items to most posts a week, or voted most useful etc.

I know above will likely not happen, but if they do, you'll likely get more player retention 🙂

But thanks for a great game anyway

If your items haven't sold in 8 weeks than you haven't advertised them for sale, you have just placed them in your market. I haven't had anything on the market for more than 24hrs. Not so popular items usually get bought by Daniel
