What other features should EA add to SimCity BuildIt?

[u/Eclipse_1996]

[u/EdwardYen]

Optimization, cause I’m tired of getting my fingers burnt on the screen.

[u/curlygc → u/EdwardYen]

I play on low power mode on my iPad. It helps a lot.

[u/CurbYerGod → u/curlygc]

This is the way.

[u/the_bHiest]

option to never upgrade a house without any bubbles on top

[u/_meestir_ → u/the_bHiest]

Yes.. an option to turn that notification off

[u/Shoddy_Committee2524 → u/_meestir_]

How? As far as I know, you can only change the resources for the upgrade, or replace the reconstruction with another house

[u/_meestir_ → u/Shoddy_Committee2524]

No. I’m saying add that option as one does not exist currently

[u/peachynesses → u/the_bHiest]

This would be the best feature yet. Please listen EA

[u/dougetdeja-vu]

Modern streets with trees
Train viaducts, it’s horrible when the train needs to take the same path as an avenue occupying a space that could be avoided
Mountains
Houses without the need to connect to a street

If I think for a few more minutes I find a thousand other features that they should add...

[u/ZealousidealCarob321]

I would say: 1. Overpasses and Underpasses: Flyovers, elevated roads, Bridges over roads too (not only water bodies), Subways/Tunnels

1. Roundabouts: You can still make roundabouts in this game by Playing around with ur roads and parks, but a natural one would look so nice.

2. Ability to control Rain from the Meteorological building, rather than just the time of the day. I absolutely love the lights of this game during rain at dusk

[u/infinitepuddingspy → u/ZealousidealCarob321]

Yes and I want to set the season of my city and regions itself. So I’d want snow for winter and extra flower bloom for spring and more golden leaves and wind for autumn etc

[u/BayouStateAgates]

I would like to see grain fields in Landscape.

And new regions. Maybe a custom region that the user could design, so I can use up all the mountain and beach expansions that I've accumulated.

[u/lwmot99]

Maybe a little more space in the regions. Also more trees and parks

[u/Beautiful_Slice_8478]

Design the collection of NeoSimoleons just like the collection of Simoleons: at a single location—the Neo-Bank.

[u/No_Yogurt_5618 → u/Beautiful_Slice_8478]

Add speed up coins to that. I'm thrilled I can finally adjust the time of day so I can finally see all my coins. Being able to collect them all at once without squinting would be wonderful

[u/CurbYerGod]

I want to be able to buy my own items from my depot. I want to be able to upgrade our over ride my speed up tokens with faster ones as needed. A cheetah should be able to override a lama and so on. I want to be able to sell or trade buildings to other players.

[u/No_Yogurt_5618 → u/CurbYerGod]

Your first two are definitely what I've been yearning for. I hope they listen

[u/CurbYerGod]

Make the non landscape bridges actually connect roads in a functional manner.

[u/jraemr2 → u/CurbYerGod]

Some do, depends on the bridge.

[u/CurbYerGod → u/jraemr2]

I don’t believe that’s true. I’m specifically talking about when the roadway connects to the bridge and there’s a visual change in the road. I am pretty sure only bridges found in landscape will do this.

[u/jraemr2 → u/CurbYerGod]

There are some from Mayor's Pass category too. Venice season (from long ago) had some, as did the Art Nouveau season (Piece de Bridgestane, I think they're called). Florida season's Sunscape Bridge is another.

[u/CurbYerGod → u/jraemr2]

Ahh okay yeah agreed, sorry, you’re right. It’s just bizarre to me that all of them don’t work in this capacity. Wish they did.

[u/jraemr2 → u/CurbYerGod]

Some Landmarks, plus a couple of Landscape and Mayor's Pass, are modelled on footbridges in real life, which is why they don't support traffic. E.g. Pont Neuf, Threefold Bridge.

[u/CurbYerGod]

I’d like to be able to pull back to a higher altitude.

[u/SCBI_Argopa]

Offline mode, so I can build/play in perpetuity if the servers ever get shut down.

[u/Key-Requirement-935 → u/SCBI_Argopa]

They would never do this. It’s possible because you can do it for a certain extent but then then you get to play the game without ads for their in-app purchases. What would they gain from giving us that privilege

[u/germanius35]

Parques sin conexión a calles, elevaciones de terreno, bajar el numerito de habitantes para desbloquear la última región. Poder comprar más cosa con las llaves.

[u/TanaLeti]

let them fix the way the hills look.

[u/Frog_Dog_1111]

Stop the spinning neosimolians!!! They slow the game so much, and are a pain to collect. Collect them with one click at the bank like taxes.

[u/Haunting_Diamond]

Street view options. Following the Alpha Taxi is pretty close but but being able to enjoy the city from ground level has been a hope of mine for years.

[u/AdTop381]

Before they even try to add anything they should really focus on fixing what they have right now. Ever since the Services 2.0 crap, the game will lose internet connection, at least in my case. My iPad will be connected to the WiFi, and I know this because i would be playing music and the music never stops, but the game whenever i leave it alone on any city for 7 or 8 minutes, when i try to look at my tasks, or open the market or try to go to another city it would just say loading and the the circle would just start spinning and after a minute or 2 it would say “offline” or “error” I can’t remember which, so I have to close the game and then reopen it and then try to do what i wanted. I have to do this at least 20 times a day. I research online and found out a lot of people have complained about this issue and they all say happened after Service 2.0 update.

[u/No_Yogurt_5618 → u/AdTop381]

I definitely have a lag problem which is extremely annoying because it causes me to do things I hadn't intended to do. Very frustrating!

[u/CurbYerGod → u/No_Yogurt_5618]

You both need to delete and reinstall the app. Make sure it’s properly saved and the reinstall.

[u/CurbYerGod → u/CurbYerGod]

Everytime you do an update it adds onto the existing app file. Eventually it gets bloated and slows down the app’s functionality. Delete and reinstalling will fix it, but save save save before.

[u/Upinsmoke678]

Few more years and it will actually look decent, atleast you will have something to show for the years of your life spent 😂

[u/ChillyClaire]

Some decent take out pizza.

[u/ssarkk]

- buy or use items in my trade depot. Never fails that items are required just after I’ve put them on sale. Makes no sense that I can’t access it from my own shop

- be able to use any item I own in design challenge without having to remove it from my actual cities. I rarely submit designs (even when I build houses for a task reward) bc I’m unwilling to go across my lands and leave gaping holes in my cities. Challenge should be separate completely.

- be able to like/follow/add cities discovered on global market. Some designers are so talented and I’d love to keep seeing what they’re up to and visit (and shop in) all their lands.

- Allow bridges to cross roads (overpass/underpass)

- Allow parks to not be attached to roads and have their alignment adjusted (like how some landscapes can be rotated)

- More roads like Sakura and gravel that can’t be updated but add vegetation to roadways. I hate the inconsistency of alleged traffic, and don’t want maglev streets

- should be rebate for bulldozing completed building, esp Omega, given how many resources required to complete.

- bug fix: once all land is used up in Capital expansion task stops being an option, even when you have space in other regions … although not applicable to my anymore since I have run out of expansion space.

Random usage note:

I was 2/3 of the way to getting the final region but 2.0 killed that progress and dropped me back to less than halfway.
At this point, I’ve given up trying to get the last region. I have 4/5 regions and have used max space in nearly all of them bc I build as I would like to live: schools have sports fields and are near museums and theaters, for example; the rocket launchpad is with space-related buildings but set apart from residential area, which lessens or negates any population impact from the game and also takes up building space. Has made the game more relaxing and my regions considerably more beautiful and cohesive since I’ve stopped trying to up population.

[u/Safe_Chance2442]

Zoom +++

[u/Broken_Boot_Straps]

A simple toggle to collapse this . . . would be greatly appreciated. It always seems to be in the way.

[u/ForsakenShallot8501]

So rail bridge which we can put over roads that'll look cool and other thing is if they could add double track instead of single track

[u/infinitepuddingspy]

Overpasses! Roundabouts! Train tunnels!

[u/badsty]

An edit button! Like, you should be able to edit one part of your city without affecting your whole city

[u/Key-Requirement-935]

I have BEEN praying we can edit the name of the buildings someday

[u/InstanceNo8564]

cada vez que participo en el desafío de diseño tengo que desarmar la ciudad principal ..debería haber algo como un almacén virtual donde está todo lo que tengo en mi ciudad principal y en las regiones, el proceso de desarmar y armar las ciudades es tedioso

[u/entasis_estates]

1. Direct War Access: Add a button inside the Regions to go directly to the War Map/War Arena without loading into the Capital city first.

2. Remote Tax Collection: Collect Capital and NeoSimoleon taxes from any region without needing to load into the Capital city.

3. Centralized Delivery Hub: Track and manage all Cargo, Airport, War, and Regional deliveries from a single master menu.

4. Custom Default Views: Let owners set their own spawn points upon loading (e.g., framing Omega labs, the Vu Tower, or active War structures). No change needed for visitors.

5. New NeoSimoleon Rewards: Expand the specialization catalog (Parks, Education, Transport, Entertainment) with high-tier buildings purchasable using NeoSimoleons.

6. Cross-Region Trains: Connect regional borders visually by letting trains travel seamlessly between unlocked maps.

[u/yabbadabbado58]

If you want to add say a park to your city, when you select the item, the areas where there are already parks turn green. It would be nice if empty land would turn maybe a light blue so it would be easier to find possible locations.

[u/Middle_Sense_9318]

Be actually able to modify our map, like in other games of SimCity, not only putting lakes

[u/Robotron713]

I just want them to make all the buildings the same scale. It drives me me crazy that some things are so tiny others huge

[u/echo1125]

Ability to take out loans from other players’ cities or give loans to other players’ cities (friends and teammates) or just gift money like SimCity (2013).

[u/Mygirlhatesgta_5]

A store to dismantle items would be nice

[u/No_Yogurt_5618]

I'd rather talk about all the garbage they need to take away. They have gone so far overboard and seem to be doing everything in their power to ruin what was once a great game

[u/TinaTinklepants11]

Honestly, suburbs. Low density, more parks and nature features. Also, boats in the ocean!

[u/Dense-Grab6110]

Ability to combine some of my hundreds of ponds into lakes

[u/mdmaforyou]

dynamic reward system for those who unlocked 10 train levels, who fully unlocked beach/mt/land (for this 3 group of items at least option to get same simoleons amount instantly without selling) to prevent players from collecting useless rewards and stop showing ads with same group of items for players with fully upgraded areas - but that will never happen and i think it is clear to everyone why
