New/different items for progression in my cities. I would love to be more unique in my city appearance. More upgrades. As Mayor, the people of my city deserve it. I love this game being a long-standing Mayor. There should be unlimited options for city expansions, iconic buildings and structures, futuristic images, interactive connections with other regions and regional roads and rails, explore new areas/sites, unlimited Huckleberry Island access, progression after level 99.

Game was good before this new disgusting facilities starving update came. There are also a million things all happening at once making the game real laggy. Playing the game now is like playing against some kind of bloatware.
★☆☆☆☆J-ReVanced· Mar 22, 2026
This is more like a burger selling simulator game rather than a city building game. It's extremely difficult to earn Simpletons! Also, this new Services 2.0 update is the worst update of all time. It ruined my city layout (which I planned for almost 6 years) in an instant. Why in the world would I need to build police, fire, and health stations every couple blocks just to cover the demands?! It doesn't make any sense at all. Even the upgrade costs of water, electricity, etc. are insanely high.

This is supposed to be simcity BUILD IT, but you can't build anything because they took away all of our services. I.E. fire, police, hospitals, water, electricity. If I could, I gave it minus stars. It's been 3 months since they changed the game to take away ALL the services, it took me that long to rebuild, now there's a new updated version, and they took away our services again! I bought a Northwest Railway train with real money! 397 passengers capacity, then they change it to 175.Don'tbuy!
