EXTEND THE MAIN CITY MAP

Mej_all_shades

We need more space for our main city. You should extend the city a lil longer to make it An actual Major city.


Fun Game

I’m really enjoying building my city and the wars! A couple items I hope they consider: 1. In wars it would be great to receive a bonus when you knock an opponent out. Sometimes we do that a number of times in a war and it would be nice to receive a bonus for that. 2. Being able to see how many war items you have in storage in the war arena! I hate having to go out go to my city check and then go back only to forget again! Lol


Money Issue

The game is very good in all, but it’s so hard to make money in it. Things take literally forever to get made in the stores and it’s hard to upgrade houses. It also takes so long to create products to where it’s terrible. Please change this.


Full of annoying busy work

Sintactic

Real job too fulfilling? Tired of engaging work? This game will make you repeatedly tap on factories and hardware stores in order to keep them producing. I wish they would just bring back the simple joy of the original sim city.


Good but grindy

Well I love this game and it’s really creative too I really do, except you have to wait a long time for certain items and some people do not have that kind of time.


Please consider

I have been playing this game for awhile during the pandemic and really enjoy it. One option I would like to consider adding is the ability to put residential buildings into storage. I’d like to rearrange my cities, but it is hard to do so with all of the buildings in the way.


Trash

My 13 story high hospital can’t even cover a block of my little backwater town.


Incredibly Slow Game, Forced to PAY to Enjoy

MuayThaiThomatoes

TLDR; Would give 4-5 stars if the pace was much faster due to decreased wait times for critical items, that force you to pay to create faster, which allows you to progress and join the game. This game would be 1M times better if the wait times for critical build items (hammer, nails, etc...) were drastically decreased. I would love a single person version that went much faster and the player was not routinely put in a position to buy cash in the game with actual cash in real life. It feels like this game is purposefully and greedily slowed down to a crawl to play. I truly want to play this game and build an awesome city however, I’m realizing at an early stage this will most likely be very time consuming and expensive. I’ve spent over $20 USD on this app and am only at level 11 (of idk how many levels but it’s probably a lot) after playing nearly 9 hours. No skyscrapers, no sprawling cities, no major traffic highways. Instead, I’ve got sims that are 99%-100% happy in a very small sim town with very little actual infrastructure. BTW, I spent majority of the total money spent on a sewage system because my sims dropped to below 80% happiness for the first time in 9 level increases. This was due entirely because the wait time for 1 nail was 4-5 minutes, 1 hammer 10-15 minutes, 1 tape measure 20 minutes, and 1 piece of lumber 30 minutes wait time. All of which can not be stacked for production, they must wait until the item being constructed is complete first. This means that instead of being able to create 2 nails at once or 2 pieces of lumber at once, there is a now minimum wait time of 30 minutes for all projects which need a piece of lumber; and multiple projects will require many (up to 11 total so far as I’ve seen at level 11) to complete one project. It’s not hard to imagine the level of impatience with an app. Would give 4-5 stars if the pace was much faster due to decreased wait times for critical items, that force you to pay to create faster, which allows you to progress and join the game. 1 STAR, very disappointed.


Layers of in game currency

NaderA17

There is no problem solving or thinking like the original. Now it’s layers of currency that devalues others in an attempt to get you to spend real money. The addition of “clubs” just means another currency form you have to collect to do anything. It gets old very quickly and instead of creating a fun game requires effort and brains, developers make game designed to get you to sink money for electronic progress. Like getting more money out of an ATM while at a casino in hops if winning big.


Too much

ApeZRule

I am lowering my score because SimCity should not have wars. And there are too many things going on. It was meant to be a simple building, fun game! I would give it a higher score if it were less needy. I don't mind paying for a game but not in app purchases. Takes too long.
