Unlocking & Building on Sunny Isles Off-Shore Islands

Hi,

Good morning.

Dear SimCity BuildIt Team,

​I would like to propose an exciting spatial enhancement for the Sunny Isles region: Unlocking and Building on the Surrounding Small Islands.

The Concept:

Currently, the beautiful small islands surrounding the main landmass in Sunny Isles are purely decorative. Allowing players to unlock and build on these islands would greatly expand creative freedom and city customization.

How It Could Work:

  1. Island Unlocking: Players can expand onto these islands using standard Beach or Land Expansion items.
  2. Connectivity: Connect the islands to the mainland using Water Bridges, Drawbridges, or a new Ferry Terminal system to extend power, water, and road networks.
  3. Building Uses:
    • Exclusive Resorts & Tourism: Build luxury beach villas, private resorts, or high-boost water landmarks.
    • Isolated Facilities: Place clean factories or power utilities away from residential zones to manage pollution.

Why this helps the game:

It makes full use of existing map assets, gives high-level players new long-term land goals, and enhances the overall visual appeal of the Sunny Isles region.

​Thank you for considering this request.

  • Possibly a good idea but given the size of the islands now you’ll only get maybe 2 rzs and the road would take up more space, unless EA makes the islands a whole lot bigger

    It is possible to increase the size of the islands.

  • I have long advocated for all regions to be expanded. Our storage is bulging with unused items, those who regularly buy premium mayor's pass have land deeds piling up which can't be used (I have 39 at present). We occasionally get an extra strip of land squares in the main city but allowing us to expand further in the regions would be very beneficial, especially those working to increase their population to 10m so they can unlock the final region.
