Sizzling Hot Weekend not working!?

Helloo, everyone,


Today started a new event called “Sizzling Hot Weekend” that says that all hot spots would give 3 times epic points than usual. I dont know why but it’s not working with me, i’m still getting only the regular amount of epic points from the hot spots. How could we solve this problem? I’ve started the construction of a epic building just because this event. I’ve already collected just 30 points and by the rules of the event, didn’t I should have 90 points? How does it workss!??

Best regards,

Matheus Cid M.

    I was also deceived! In the weekend event, There is nowhere written that the buildings that give triple the points are ONLY those purchased with regional currency. There only speak generically of "hots spots". This is very unfair.

  • In this weekend the event called “Sizzling Hot Weekend” says that all hot spots would give 3 times epic points than usual. But triple points are awarded ONLY on buildings purchased with the regional currency (answer from a guide on the forum).

    "Unfortunately" the event does NOT specify this, but speaks generically of "hots spots", so for me it should be ALL buildings. I think it is very unfair.

    Rocco gave an answer, he didn't give a solution. And I want it to be clear how it is very false to make believe something different from reality. It's not something that doesn't work in the game, it's something misleading. Why doesn't the support answer this question?

    @sniccoli66 - I have merged your duplicate thread into the original post in which you replied.

    It appears to me that the message is quite clear - "All Hot Spots give 3 times the usual amount of epic points"

    As explained, Hot Spot is NOT a "generic term":

    Hot spots are those specialized and upgradable buildings that can only be purchased with regional currency. If you purchased an item with simoleons or simcash they are not going to provide bonus points.
    Here is some more information on Hot Spots: https://help.ea.com/en-ca/help/simcity/simcity-buildit/hot-spots-in-simcity-buildit/

    It is unfortunate that you misunderstood, and it can certainly be frustrating when that happens. But there's not much else anyone on the forums can do, other than explain the promotion, which Rocco did. I hope this helps, and that you now have a better understanding of the current promotion. Best of luck, and Happy Building!

    I'm sorry, but I absolutely don't agree. Hot Sposts in Italian game it is translated as "places of interest" and in the instructions the places of interest (hot spots) are ALL those in the categories Education, Transportation, Entertainment and Gambling. More. in the link of rocco I quote: "Each Region has its own set of Hot Spots that fit the Region theme, but all Hot Spots can be built in any Region or Capital City." so I ask: if I can build them in any region, why don't they still give me triple points even if they are in the main region?

    @sniccoli66 - Since it appears that you are speaking about a translation issue in this post, I've forwarded on the information. Since this is a limited time promotion, I would suggest that you take screen shots of anyplace it says "Places of Interest" instead of "Hot Spots" in the promotion dialog.
