Why Is City Expansion So Hard?
Expanding a city in SimCity can be very challenging because the required expansion items are extremely hard to collect. Many players feel stuck since land, storage, and beach expansions depend heavily on random drops. Even when playing actively, the items don’t appear often enough to support steady city growth. This slow progression can make the game feel more stressful than enjoyable. Because of this, some players start to wonder if the system is intentionally designed to push them toward spending money.
It would be interesting to hear how other players manage this issue. Do you rely on the Global Trade HQ, or do you simply wait for items to drop over time? Some players say they store certain items to improve their chances, while others think the drop rates are just too low. The challenge becomes even bigger when multiple expansions require the same rare items. What strategies or suggestions do you think could make city expansion in SimCity more balanced and enjoyable?
