SimCity BuildIt Entertainment Index System Ruins Progression
Dear EA Support Team,
I am writing to express my deep frustration with the recent changes to the Entertainment specialization and index system in SimCity BuildIt. The new entertainment index requirements are honestly a very bad idea—they make no sense for progression and actively ruin the gameplay experience for loyal players.Specifically, almost none of the monthly Mayor's Pass or event entertainment buildings contribute to the entertainment index at all. This means that, after building the Entertainment HQ, it is literally impossible to unlock further entertainment buildings without spending huge amounts of SimCash—such as the 550 SimCash for the Football Stadium. The majority of other available buildings (Oktoberfest Funfair, Archery Competition, etc.) don't count for index and therefore stall any real progress.This system is extremely frustrating and punishes players who put time into collecting and building special event items. The index gates do not improve gameplay; they just slow everything down and force people to pay for progression. Please reconsider this pointless design and restore a fair, logical progression path for entertainment buildings so players—especially those who dedicate time to events—can actually enjoy building their cities.
