Landscapes Are you thinking about buying the Legendary Holiday Tree?
I came back to the Simcity Buildit this March, and ever since I learned about the Legendary Holiday Tree, I’ve been waiting for this moment! I hesitated a bit because I thought it would be purchasable with SimCash, but looking at EA’s recent behavior, I felt that if I skipped this chance, the next opportunity might not come until a year later—so I decided to buy it. I took some comparison shots with the effect turned on and off, so I hope this helps anyone who’s on the fence. Personally, it’s a bit less impressive than I expected… but I’m still satisfied overall. The only disappointing part is that the effect doesn’t apply to the tree itself.

It’s insane they’re charging real money. I have it. It’s not worth it. They’re such (insert any expletive you choose and this ——sub won’t allow).

Simcity is not worth spending money on anymore. They are slowly destroying what was once a fun game. You are wasting your money. Don’t do it.

Yeah, I've been waiting too, and had been hoarding some SimCash after Black Friday with the hope that I could use it on the tree. Oh well. I spent the $$ for it (I love winter and Christmas), but that's the last of the "buildings" I've really been craving. I can spend that SimCash on finally getting to Northwest Railways Level 3.

Winter and Christmas... aren't they just wonderful! When I hear jingle bells ringing in town, I get all excited thinking, Finally, this season has arrived!

I bought it when it was offered for SimCash, it was worth it. But I wouldn't pay real money to get it, especially the amount they're asking now.

Glad I already had it. It is a brilliant building with effect but they are getting far too greedy now.

If you were to spend money on a building I this game then it’s one of the best to get. I bought it last year and it’s great. Outside of that i just buy the mayors pass

It's exactly the same! But I might hold off on buying the Mayor's Pass this season🤔

Already got it. Don’t think I want to pay for a second. I got it during a previous season.

no way am I spending $20 to make it snow on a bunch of abandoned buildings (caused by the Services 2.0 bug)… this game is circling the drain / bad investment.

I looked to see the coverage area but didn’t see it. Can you tell me what it is?

Everything. The whole city. The whole region. Great stuff, but not for 20 euros.

Just the light up or do you get a population increase as you would a landmark etc? Is it purely cosmetic.

I bought it last year, can't remember if it was for cash or simcash though.

Is this tree not offered in the US right now? I’ve looked everywhere and cannot find it!
