Strategy for managing storage
I'm already at level 22, but my storage capacity is still stuck at 260, since I haven't paid any real money to upgrade anything in the game (so far). Currently, 188 items in my storage are expansion ...

Dood honestly what are u doing. Like srsly I get that expanding is really important and is the limiting factor for progress in the game but like youre sacrificing too much for it. Youve probably spent hours combing the global market to get the items u need but admit it, thats absolutely boring and a complete waste of time.
And whats the point of expanding your storage if all you are doing with your storage is to store your expansion items?
Now I have a 3.6 million population city with a storage of 340 at level 49 so I would say I am pretty experienced and my tips will work
1. You got to have a feeder city. This is not a should have. This is a must have, unless you want to spend another 50 hours on the global market. After a certain point, 1 feeder city aint gonna do the trick so youll need more. For reference, I have 6 feeder cities and I still feel it isnt enough. So the purpose of your feeder city is it acts as extra storage for expansion items. You also shouldnt upgrade your feeder city too high so you can find more items in the global market much easier. Feel free to spend feeder city simcash on expansion items which you can sell to urself.
2. You gotta focus on expanding what u want to expand. Dont store items for everything at once, it takes too much space. I reccomend not selling your items first, but when you can expand you just dont collect the items anymore and focus on what u want to expand.
Hopefully this helps and all the best, dont waste too much time, energy and money when there are faster methods 🙂
@J6niceL Excellent advice, strong clubs will work together and help each other maximize their storage. @bufflord12964 I don’t believe 340 storage warrants anything to right home about, especially at level 49...and the better investment of time is to open all conversation bubbles found in your city and in cities you visit. The suggestion you offer is simply a shift in wasted time...each feeder city requires the acquisition of expansion items to serve any real purpose and simply goes against the intent of the game and by the way is illegal...before you state something ignorant, I have formally inquired about the legality of feeder cities and received in writing from an EA legally recognized representative (which I had confirmed by the appropriate professional) that you can play more than one city but not for the purpose you are using them as. So you share advice that theoretically could get this mayor in trouble along with yourself...but don’t worry EA has not shown any interest as of yet in dealing with this issue.
My simple suggestion is to consider the wisdom of @J6niceL who has been very supportive and insightful in this forum and has successfully maximized his storage and ignore the suggestion of one that has only made it a little over halfway and offering a path that one day could create an issue for you. Good news is you have a choice. Good luck.
