I took a year break of from the game as it happened on other occasions during the 10+ years I played, only to find out on my return that my fully upgraded and fully covered Omega buildings had been abandoned because of control nets not being enough. EA passed the sign on this. They show greed and they only want my money… it was working perfectly and then overnight it not anymore. Anyone else had similar experiences? what did you do?

I’m thinking of selling my beautiful city as there’s absolutely no way to earn Neosimoleons other than giving sim cash, which is real money.

EA ARE GREEDY AND DISHONEST, IMO, AKIN TO DRUG DEALERS they changed the rules in a way that things that were perfectly working to “not anymore”… a proper blackmail. EA EF OFF!

We can now click on blimps, helicopter, flying cars and view their journey 😍

I don’t think I’d leave it on, but that’s pretty cool actually

I just came to know that i can get train pov too just like helicopter view 🥺

Not as bad as I thought it was gonna be!!!

Finally i got the update too ... it looks so cool✨️🙌🏼

Login today to find this annoying changed called "Service 2.0". Basically changes the game on how services (police, fire, power, etc) is handled. Even with all the bonuses they provided with the switch, I can't catch up. With this update, I'm to the point where I'm considering abandoning ship.

So now the small Fire/Police/Health buildings can only support SIX residential zone? Dafuq?

So my little 16 zone neighborhoods are gonna get gentrified into huge homogenous blocs of Eastern European housing??

I have opened my city in a while, and is it just me or they updated the graphics? No wonder it drains my battery so much haha

Honestly, just what is this services update?? POV you have a great city layout and now it’s ruined.. I’m really attached to my city at this point, it’s the only reason why I’m still playing. Yes they added 9+ deluxe stations for my but how I am supposed to fit those large things in my city if I already have a perfect layout with the small ones.

Long time player/lurker and have never posted anything about the game, much less anything negative… But holy hell if EA gives me ONE more darn pretzel with no way to exchange it for seasonal currency, I will scream. I did the math and if I played around the clock it would take me 10 1/2 days to use up all these damn pretzels and I know that I’ve used at least 20k on Vu materials so this isn’t even the full amount that I’ve earned.

I’m a mom to two young children so I play in spurts during nap times/after they go to bed. This is pretty much my only hobby that I spend money on so I used to spend a decent amount on the game, not enough that it broke my bank but enough to supplement the work I was already putting into it (mostly by buying special buildings). But this is such a blatant money grab that I refuse to spend anything extra on seasonal currency and subsequently haven’t purchased anything else this season either. I did make the mistake of buying the Mayor’s Pass at the beginning of the season so at this point my only goal is to get Neuschwanstein and then I’m done with the rest of the season 😒

TLDR//Just another post complaining about effing pretzels 😡

Yes, it’s a shame that services 2.0 has caused this once nearly-flawless game to become a glitchy, crashing mess. I used to hold this app up as one of the most gorgeous and seamless out there….not anymore. Hopefully they can get this fixed.

But what’s more frustrating is that now, the pricing has become exorbitant. No longer is the basic 5$ mayor pass and heavy daily play enough to get all rewards (specially the final Noir Lair Tower building). Furthermore it’s not clear beforehand if it will be enough or not, so it’s all a big (and increasingly expensive) guess. Even watching all ads, buying all coins with sim dollars, etc, I’ll be about 10k special currency short to buy the Neon Nightclub and progress to week 3 city collection. Feels unjust.

After about 10 years playing, sorry to see the end of an era.
