Suggestions For Next Update
Hello EA first of all may I say that I love the Sims franchise and Sim City Build It is a great add on to an already brilliant brand of game. I however do have a few suggestions for Sim City Build It...

I think we all can agree that the flood of Sugar & Spice clogging the WTHQ is a major problem with the game.
Why not just add a Collect XX number of Sugar & Spice assignment to COM? Many will buy S&S from the WTHQ to complete the assignment and those that spend all of their Simoleons could still produce S&S to complete the assignment.
Still keep the regular Produce and Collect S&S assignment, but adding the Collect Only S&S assignment should help thin out the mass amount of S&S in everyone's WTHQ.
@Barron_of_Beef Be it sugar and spice or hamburgers or televisions or pizza or whatever is contingent to the level your city is at. Your proposed solution would not resolve the issue. It would simply shift it. Inevitably the ones that purchase the items will have to dump them as well. The only solution is to remove the unnecessary price supports known as Daniel which will then allow the trade market to incorporate a free enterprise model and self adjust this problem while encouraging players to produce what the market demands. It will be painful for many…but it will address the issue of redundancy and will also make finding more desirable items a reality.
@PinnacleValley I believe it is basically a matter of supply and demand of some of the items at different levels. Remember the Candy Factory? You could hardly find S&S in the WTHQ without spending time looking. The WTHQ was a joy to use unless you wanted S&S. There is far more S&S being sold than being bought, therefore clogging the Market. I'm at level 24 so I don't know what other items flood the WTHQ, but an added demand might help those items too.
@Barron_of_Beef I think I’m at level 81 - I’ve played methodically since the very beginning with a strong focus on building a robust economy. The reason you see so many of a given item in the market at one time is due to the CoM assignments that are being scheduled (which changes as you reach different levels) such as sugar and spice and other lower cost items. Hamburgers often fill up the market because people make the false assumption that they make more money because they have a high selling price and really aren’t concerned with the cost of making them and know that “Daniel” will buy them within 3 days (false price supports). If you remove this price support it would then be about supply and demand as unwanted items would have to be dumped by the mayor from their depot in order to make room to sell a more desirable items that there is a demand for. Thus the market correction.
