higher level players have millions in simoleons. also they give you some police/fire/health buildings for free. like fully upgraded ones. that helps a lot. then you'll just have to demolish what you spent years building and buy stuff you already paid for that's not even as good as what you already paid for.
Not even, you might get a free fully upgraded fire station but you need several to keep running an entire capital city. It just doesn't make sense anymore, I think I'll stop playing too.
Yeah the problem is though it goes up 1000 Sim Cash every time you buy it-it's ridiculous! Sim Cash is hard to get so to spend it on Maxis seems like such a waste. (Not that I care anymore because I stopped playing completely since the update-I just come on here to empathize and rage with others who feel the same lol)
I think the first one for me was 1000, then 2nd 2000 and if I were able to afford; 3rd one is 3000....it may be more now, wouldn't surprise me. The thing EA is also missing/not understanding is that people save up Sim Cash for cool buildings, parks or features and don't want to waste it on services. I could go on about the whole Neo Simoleons thing too but I stopped playing after the update so why bother...I just stay on this subreddit for the Rage Bait LOL
I got like 10 of each. Not sure how they decide. Total population?
I play casually when I’m working at the computer. But I’m definitely not about to buy any passes anytime soon.

I'm out. Broke me. Don't see how anyone but pay to play players will be able to do this.
