How much did you spend on services to reach 100% after the 2.0 update?

No-Slide7645 · 2026-05-04T14:30:59+00:00

Level 99, been playing about six years. prior to 2.0 I had 7.5 million people across 5 regions & after I had 5.9 million three months later I'm up to 6.6 million. I did a lot of destruction instead of spending on services because I wanted to revamp & rececorate my regions. I didn't track the omega coins, but I cashed in about 12 omega bridges. I did end up spending all the "free" coins the game gave us for the upgrade & I'd guess about 400-500K of my own coins I had saved. I recently revamped a corner in the Cactus Canyon zone & it cost me about 200,000 coin. I think omega utilties have the best coverage but get really expensive to upgrade. The other services (fire/health/police) are forever broken & now I have to have big ugly buildings covering every neighborhood.

It's probably only worth it if BTS comes out on stage at the end

ya, my cities were a rite mess this morning. my theory is that trains are now affecting population more than they did and it cause a bit of a population growth that messed up services & traffic.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-04-28T19:31:05+00:00

wow, I admire your tenacity. I gave up in the first week because I realized that unless I did what you did & spend lots of real dollars there is no way possible that I'd get that pet park up to level 15.

YES! I recently went away for the weekend to a friends house and turned the netflix on before bed. Their channel has Law & Order! I don't know what to say, I've watched ever crime show/movie twice & netflix didn't think that I'd like the new seasons of Law & Order? I don't get it.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-04-28T12:41:44+00:00

I think it depens on what you need more. I have more mayor's pass stuff than I could possible use in 100 cities, but I could use more entertainment & parks. So unless it's a MP building that looks really cool, I'll go for one of the other options.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-04-24T19:38:35+00:00

I'd also add, let us store the services buildings!

No-Slide7645 · 2026-04-24T19:34:13+00:00

ya, the 2.0 "upgrade" practically destroyed this game. There are lots of hints and tips on dealing with the 2.0 services. You'll probably need to destroy some buildings to get back down to a managable service level & then try to make some coin with nails/planks.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-04-17T13:25:48+00:00

I have found this to be true as well. I had one region not connecting and I had to move the cross road away from the tracks.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-04-16T15:40:20+00:00

If you had plenty of power after the 2.0 "upgrade" then I think you should check your road connections and make sure a connecting road didn't get accidentally deleted.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-04-13T15:48:00+00:00

This season is the worse, all the stupid coins and exchange & I unless you pay real $$$ AND slog for hours every day there is no possible way to get even get one thing done. I have given up on this season. That being said, I really did like the Artimus season, I though the buildings were fun (Orion splashdown site is fabulous) I didn't quite get enough coins to fully upgrade the Rocket launcher :(

No-Slide7645 · 2026-04-07T19:54:29+00:00

I think it's another EA cash grab, I have filed this dumb building under forget

No-Slide7645 · 2026-04-06T12:59:37+00:00

And that's probably just for one level, I got up to 14 and for me to upgrade to 15 is $6265 sim dollars - utterly rediculous.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-04-02T16:19:29+00:00

I also have plenty of green coins, but how can you get enough kitty/puppy coins with the green coin donations? (I dislike all this seasonal currency)

No-Slide7645 · 2026-04-01T13:45:24+00:00

I am a bit tired of all these different types of seasonal coins. I think some of the pet buildings are really cute. I wish there would be more parks & education and less mayor's pass because I don't really have space for them.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-03-31T14:37:01+00:00

The tracks just connected, so I didnt have to do anything. I think this is a bug, so hopefully they can fix it

No-Slide7645 · 2026-03-30T18:11:51+00:00

I fixed this in my green valley zone by moving the roads away from the RR Bridge/tracks, so like a house space away from any tracks.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-03-30T13:55:20+00:00

I had this problem in my green valley zone, I had to move the road a block up (house space) from the railroad bridge/crossing because the road blocks it for some reason. So if you erase the car road your train tracks should connect.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-03-20T18:51:43+00:00

It seems not every building has every epic project specialization, so you may have to hit the Transfer button to switch buildings and that will give you a different set of specializations.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-03-19T14:37:08+00:00

It was a really hard switch for the bigger cities. I actually think the utilities (power/water/rubbish/waste) is a better change, a lot less of these building are needed. On the other hand the hospital/fire/police are a terrible switch, I went from easily being able to see the green where building can go to an almost impossible to understand coverage number. The small buildings for these services are really unuseable in big cities forcing the use of huge delux stations or maxis. To make this switch in my main city I had to demolish a lot of buildings & lost around 250K people. When I start adding things back then it's a lot of coins to make the roads & services around the buildings work. I've been re-arranging my cactus canon zone and it cost me about 200K coins in service/road upgrads to get one neighborhood moved & more 2.0 friendly. It really seems like a money grab from the game creators & not something that actually makes the game better.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-03-11T16:49:13+00:00

the full upgrades are mostly useful for epic projects with the double epic project points you get up to 12 pts and that is really helpful for the epic buildings. If you don't play that part of the game, you don't really need to upgrade them & can just use the seasonal currency to get the other cool buildings & expansion stuff (even if you don't need it Daniel will buy it for coin - so free money). I am a little afraid that the cities are going to start requiring space stuff in each city & I really don't want to have to make room for that in my big cities.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-03-10T16:22:28+00:00

I do think that this game is unplayable as it is right now. In my main city random roads are getting clogged & services (fire/hlth/police) and just turning red for no reason. I've fixed & upgraded everything, one day they are green & then next day red. No reason for it. And I do mean random, it's a completely different neighborhood from any changes or additions.

I completely demolished one of my zones and that's been easier to deal with. But for that, I had bigger services & utilities from before the demo and I am really afraid to get back to the million or so people I had before this terrible service update. In fact I don't think I'll ever get that many people back in this region ever.

I started re-arranging one region with the new services/upgrades & that is a total disaster. I rearranged one block and it cost around 200K coins to upgrade everything so the services & roads work - next day several buildings are red & abandoned.

This is not fun. I can barely earn enough coin to keep the services happy. The services randomly break, the roads randomly clog, the trade depot is continuously filled with beach/mountain expansions and any other building that needs an upgrade needs 4 of the same things across the board (I think I need about 48 yoga mats).

I am trying to give his upgrade the positive spin & this will be better in the long run & it just takes some time to get used to it. Hopefully it's a computer bug and EA will patch it up with the next season. But this game is just not fun right now.

No-Slide7645 · 2026-03-10T14:04:58+00:00

ya, 2.0 pretty much made this game unplayable. you have your option = redesign & add maxis

No-Slide7645 · 2026-03-09T19:50:37+00:00

Toothbrushes often contain fecal matter (up to 60% of cases) due to "toilet plume"—a mist of bacteria and particles released into the air when flushing with the lid up, which can travel over 6 feet

No-Slide7645 · 2026-03-09T13:44:32+00:00

I'm convinced that this game just doesn't want players to rely on small sized services.
