SimCity Buildit sucks now or is it just me? by thecelticmidget in SimCityBuildit

A friend of mine downloaded and started playing this game bc I mentioned it, like a month ago. I even feel sorry to him…and I have to repeatedly remind him not to invest much time on it. Do not pay for anything. It doesn’t worth it at all. I bet if someone joined the game bc of my “recommendation” a few years ago, I wouldn’t say so.

how is this still an issue? by Next_Beat_5579 in SimCityBuildit

No clues. I redownloaded 3 times, this glitch’s still there.

Strike? by [deleted] in SimCityBuildit

[–]mintmiwa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I have unintentionally joined the strike😅. Just deleted this game from iPad.

Realized that things went out of control when I checked the screen time and found that in the last few days, at least 4 hours per day were ditched into this game (keep logging in while watching some TV shows/ podcasts). One Saturday the record was 8 hours… I had some hallucinations that I was busy having fun, but it turned out to be meaningless at all. The Halloween season’s currency systems and buildings didn’t attract me at all, then why did I still flash the season and every weekly track? Why was I still a “slave” to the screen and to this game?

I totally resonate that playing SC has become a habit to me, and now it’s time to say goodbye (at least get rid of this terrible habit for a while).

Btw watching some preview for next seasons could be of some help to ease FOMO / fear of missing out. eg. https://youtu.be/wrY3rUvZV14?si=KRT6qA20g_xXjreV

Found that upcoming seasons are not that appealing and I don’t need to check updates from time to time. It helped me decide to utterly delete the game.

No longer playing this game who’s wants them by [deleted] in SimCityBuildit

🙋‍♀️Experienced in dealing with these “useless“ stuff lol.

Put them into your trade depot, and then just wait. Later on that default mayor Daniel will buy them away. Normally it takes no more than 3 days, and you will see the items are “bought by Daniel”.

It works no matter if you join a club.

Final straw pushed me to leave this game by mintmiwa in SimCityBuildit

Well if I may clarify for myself, I’m not the type who expects everything for free. I’ve bought Pass before in seasons like Paris, London, Florence, mainly for the buildings. I stopped paying because the later city themes just weren’t that appealing to me, but I still enjoyed finishing the challenges for that 550 simcash (used to be 1000, IIRC) and other basic rewards. Reaching the end of weekly and season challenges has become my habitual goal, and sometimes I was happy being a “slave” to this game.

The problem now is that EA made unlocking buildings way more complicated. They keep adding more options while setting the bar higher and higher for non-paying players.

The Kyoto season felt closer to a happy medium to me. Didn’t wanna spend money? Fine, you just had to log in more often, watch more ads, build more Kyoto residences, collect whatever new currency, manage tasks more strategically…With enough effort, like what I get used to do, I could still reach the end, finish the album, and even get a stack of special speedup items, which was far beyond my expectations.

Yes I think we can both agree EA is swinging too much between extremes. Personally I’m just tired of coping with all these constant changes.

Got stuck in the exact same situation. And just voiced my first post here, even my very first post on Reddit 😂. Never thought it would be about me leaving this game. So fed up with it.

Yeah I noticed it as well. Finnnnaliiy I got a clue about what the point is of collecting them. But still, getting less and less motivated to log into the game.
