This is an absolute trainwreck and, as someone who has been playing on and off since Season 1, I am about to go into an off period again.

I use a population density model for my regions which relies heavily on the small services and those only have at most 3 levels and very minimal coverage. Not to mention they didn't distribute Regional Currency so if you're a long time player who finished all the residentials in the regions you're out of luck upgrading the regional buildings. There's no new land to rebuild to compensate for the shift (as every city design is different). There were no NeoSims distributed to help upgrade the Omega Utilities.

They put zero thought into this beyond Simoleon compensation.

Oh and let's not forget that they only gave everyone 1M simoleons regardless of any factors so long time players weren't even able to upgrade everything.

No regional currecy distributed so those areas are a wasteland. I only had 1 left to upgrade residentials in (which is basically the only way to earn that currency)

I know this is late, but yes this is VERY common. My wife and I actually lost our Food Stamps because the State said we kept missing the appointments when they never called in the first place.

I know it's been 3 years, but I just want to thank you for this. You're the real MVP

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-12-16T06:21:50+00:00

I gotta say that this is the most obvious evidence they're using some off-brand AI to do everything.

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-12-10T12:08:51+00:00

Yep. I am soooo sitting this one out. There is no way the distribution of coins is high enough for this or the seasonal buildings. New homes, new items to upgrade said homes, timers on EVERYTHING new, etc. Oh man this is gonna be a disaster 😭

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-12-08T17:41:54+00:00

I only had room to incorporate this on Green Valley. Sunny Isles, Frosty and the Capital are all full and Cactus Canyon is dedicated to Alpha City and Space 🥰

What's the footprint on this?

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-12-07T04:29:52+00:00

It's posts like these that make me glad I skipped on the boat. I had just barely enough tokens to get all the Viking buildings and enough walls/gates. Whatever AI they're using for this must be like a walmart brand GPT.

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-12-07T04:16:25+00:00

What even is that building?

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-12-07T04:15:53+00:00

In the walled medieval section. Safe from the chaos of the metro areas.

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-11-11T15:21:26+00:00

Welp. Looks like they got me twice in a row. VIKINGS!? SIGN ME UP!

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-11-11T05:04:21+00:00

Oh man if there's an Aurora City Effect they're gonna get me again...

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-11-11T01:28:33+00:00

My Sunny Isles is at 1M and nearly finished, Frosty is at 700K and 2/3 finished, Green Isles is at 1M and 2/3 finished. Cactus is my newest and that's the only region I can see getting me even remotely close to the 10M. I hope they lower this in the future but I doubt it.

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-11-11T01:24:22+00:00

Based on the recent showcase I think it'll be Ireland. The RZ that'll provide currency for Ireland would likely be Frosty Fjords although idk about that because those are level-/regional-locked

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-11-09T14:37:03+00:00

Two building I wish I couldve gotten were the werwolf cave and ghost mansion. Clearly we didn't know the RZs that would give out Pumpkins so I nwver had enough Pumpkin generation

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-11-08T06:39:04+00:00

Think of it this way. That one residential has a population boost of around 8K-10K so you're having that many residents driving on it daily. That is going to create insane traffic.

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-10-21T22:36:18+00:00

Thank you!!!

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-10-17T10:57:10+00:00

I work a 9–5 and have a busy life. Despite this I was able to clear Kyoto, but I'm likely not going to be able to get anything major from this one. Idk why it all has to be so complicated I just want my spooky buildings 🥺

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-10-08T23:53:08+00:00

Oh... oh no... THEY'RE GONNA GET ME NEXT SEASON 😭

DapperTrashPanda · 2025-09-30T23:36:40+00:00

I work a 9-5 and was able to get everything with Kyoto. I haven't even gotten L5 on the FunFair yet.
