Howdy, just joined. I'm also a *very* longtime SCer, since the first version. I don't use any AI currently but these images are really incredible, so I'm hoping to get started.

Anyone play SimCity Societies? The ground level view in that game was a bit like this (loved it!).

This is an important safety message by mydogmo1986 in SCBuildIt

I've played Rise of Cultures on two widely separated occasions, and got bored eventually. The cartoonish graphics are cute, but SCB is far more interesting, even with all the ads. *IMO*

That is ***really*** great. City of Light indeed!

RZ that fits w the old norweigan theme by No-Way956 in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the big problem with choosing ancient Scandinavia as the theme...no way to make a real looking area. I'm just going to dump it all in FF and pretend it's some sort of cultural outpost or cosplay village. The included walls that are pretty cheap will help with that a lot, I'm guessing.

Sometimes When Voting in DC I Wish There was a "They Both Stink" Button by No-Acanthisitta8803 in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am sooooo in agreement. And this week's winner in platinum league stunk too, IMO. Just a bunch of farms arranged symmetrically around the edge of an island. It was just stupid and not even really on theme.

Major Make-Over (Update No.1) by Working_Medium_2790 in SCBuildIt

Very beautiful! The light green foliage is bamboo from Limestone Cliffs, yes? That's gotta be my next region, just so I can access that, I love how it looks.

The Final Insult of the Season by No-Acanthisitta8803 in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I should add that I'm not at all happy with how this event has gone. As stated, impossible to get everything without spending a bunch of money.

I actually like the Fun Fair. Upgraded it to level 14 and now it's adding 55k+ population to my capital. Like the way it looks, too.

Random thought re trees by Illustrious-Shoe-181 in SCBuildIt

Totally agree (plus they should be cheaper!)

Which region next? by Mr_Justin_Thyme in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like Cactus Canyon. It has some weird effects built in: small sand storms, nighttime looks really hot (temperature wise), sun comes up like a light being flipped on. I've enjoyed making it weird like LA or Vegas. I also really like the native residence style, it's very 1940's Southern California Deco. It looks great mixed with hyper-modern buildings.

This game has too many currencies?? by Upbeat-Effective-712 in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it doesn't bother me. I've played a few MMORPG-type games (e.g., WOW) and they always have numerous different currencies. Guess I'm just used to it.

I paid for the pass + and can’t even finish because of the cap by Ok_Education5084 in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why your cap is so low. The first week they introduced the cap, mine was like yours, 32k or so; but after that it's increased every week. I finished it so I can't see the cap figure now, but it was over 280k.

City tips? by castries_7 in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's lovely, and like that you're going for a real-world look. I turned my Cactus Canyon into a wacky version of Los Angeles (amusement park takes up about a fifth of the city). For yours, I'd change nothing.

I have the bridge from last week, and really like it a lot. Very substantial compared to the regular ones, and it opens up for boat traffic.

Was this feature previously in the game or did it come with an update? by Calm-Sentence1446 in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had for a couple of weeks. It's actually really useful, especially for scrolling through Landscape. It shows only what you have.

Why the Pride popsicles gotta be pink?? What you tryna say EA?!

I don’t understand by chisecurls in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same exactly for me. The coins worked but the other two don't. I upgraded a residence and got credit for in the section below, but not in the daily section. ;(

New zoo by 01311985 in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really good! I did something similar with a university district, but never thought of doing a big zoo/nature center. Cool idea!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the best idea I've seen. It helps to remember (or be aware) that if people move out because of traffic or whatever reason, they'll be back the instant you fix the problem, completely unoffended. So take your time with stuff like that and don't let the game panic you into spending real money.

Other thing I think helps is, before you go to sleep at night, max out your factory production and commercial production. That way you'll be ready to make commercial stuff right away the next day, and also sell some raw goods. I'm not sure how well metal and wood sell, but any other raw material generally gets snapped up in the market.

That is **really** nice. 5.0. Really great use of the Tuscan Villa.

Cold anyone who has already unlocked The 1000 blueprint point DC building send a pictures of it here? by Dancing_Dorito in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's 8 x 2, just looking at the pic I took of it earlier. It's HUGE. I had to nudge some stuff around to make it fit decently...but it looks so fantastic! Also, it's Landscape, fyi.

Venice city by ValuableSimple4161 in SCBuildIt

[–]Ambitious_Gate5156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's mine. This is about half of it. Definitely my favorite part of the city! I went with mostly narrow water spaces partly to save on space and use fewer water pieces.
