SimCity buildit update is awful!

I hate the update. Even when the demand is much lower than capacity, it’s all red alerts and didn’t fix. Even on the design challenge and spending in app money to upgrade. Everything is covered by services, then you have to upgrade them all which would be OK if you were able to upgrade them enough without having to redesign every single location. Either get rid of that or make them or you can upgrade them to cover the same area. The most frustrating is the capacity higher than demand and still not working. Spent in app money to try to fix and didn’t work and always get the gold pass. After an embarrassing amount of years playing this I’m about to delete it. It’s not worth it if it’s not fixed soon.

  • This is so disappointing, greedy, and just mean spirited. Why would you treat loyal customers like this?  It's been going down hill for a while trying to squeeze more money out of us.

    With you 100%.  I've been wasting hours trying to stay ahead of the bad info.  Fix one thing and something else fails. Unexplained buildings being abandoned, red status even when capacity exceeds demand, etc.  I've spent 2 million simple answers, eaten into regional currencies and $$$s and see my population decrease by 15% and counting.  And where is the benefit to us loyal users? Well I guess they'll have fewer of us to disappoint. Good luck EA in making more money on a shrinking fan base.  I'm done.

    Agree totally…have spent last 8 years playing this game and this update will cause me to delete game entirely. It seems like a money grab to me because you have to completely redesign your cities. After spending all my simoleans for upgrade…it still shows I need more. Well thank you EA for this upgrade…you have now given me no choice but to delete. GOODBYE EA,

    Many of the buildings they are selling for real money are buildings that I got for free in the past. A lot are from the early years of the Contest of Mayors. I never bought any building and I have most of them. I agree that it is really greedy to be selling them now especially since they have drastically reduced all the rewards. The contest isn’t even worth the time to play with the pathetic rewards now. I mainly played for the simcash. It was originally 1500. Now it’s barely anything. 

  • What really pisses me off is that they keep putting up items to buy with real money when we used to buy with gold keys and platinum ones not to mention paying with green cash which you need to buy from the shop.

    Just total greed

    The trouble is they make enough money so that they don’t have to care if a few leave. The money they make on Simcity is keeping their other companies afloat. Google it, the figures are there.
