SimCity is one of the most popular computer games of all time and you can even enjoy the series on your mobile device with SimCity BuildIt. Here are some of the best SimCity BuildIt tips and tricks you should take advantage of.
SimCity BuildIt isn’t exactly like the PC version as some features are provided for mobile devices, but the idea of the game is to build a city and grow it with as many people as you can fit into the population.
The gameplay is largely similar to the 2013 reboot of the city building game, coming with similar graphics and a familiar look and feel. This is definitely a welcome on the mobile platform as the graphics of the latest SimCity game are quite impressive.
But SimCity BuildIt comes with a few differences to take advantage of smaller screens and touchscreens. It’s a free game to download and play, but there are in-app purchases you can purchase. The game tasks you with fabrication materials to build residential buildings, shops and other services, all of which takes time, but you can speed it up using your SimCash.
In any case, if you’re playing the game and looking for some help, here are some of the best SimCity BuildIt tips and tricks you should use.
Set a Good Layout
Pretty much the sole purpose of SimCity BuildIt is to have as many residents as you can, and to do that, you need to find a good and efficient layout for your buildings and squeeze as many residents into small spaces as possible. the amount of space you have.
Personally, I like to go with a single-row layout of 2×2 residential blocks, where I can then put different shuttles and parks. This creates a city block and I repeat this in my city.
Probably not the best layout for most residents, but close to police departments, fire department, hospitals etc. Since you need it, I think it’s most efficient when as few services are needed as possible. These have Simoleons and can be summoned quickly, so the less service buildings you need, the better. As you can see in the screenshot above, I only need two small police departments to cover 24 residential buildings.
Keep Your Factories and Stores Busy
Just like in any factory, you’re not doing yourself a favor by closing the assembly lines. Make sure you always have cooking supplies in your factories and shops, this way you will have a variety of items you can use to upgrade your residential buildings.
If your warehouse is full, don’t stop production. Instead, simply sell the excess items in your Trade Warehouse to make room for more items in your Warehouse; If your warehouse is full, you can resell it.
Doing all this will ensure you have enough items to upgrade buildings and even earn you some extra cash by selling excess items.
Upgrade City Warehouse and Expand Whenever Possible
Speaking of running out of stock, the best way to prevent this is to upgrade it. But to upgrade it, you need special items that you cannot produce in your factories or stores. Instead, you have to collect them either by popping random speech bubbles or by purchasing them from the Global Trade Center.
The same goes for expanding your land to get more space to build on. To do this, you need to collect special items.
What most players do is spend some time collecting these items and expand their storage and land as many places as possible so you don’t have to deal with them later.
Just don’t do what I did when I first started and don’t sell these special items once you get them, because you will eventually need them.
Spend your SimCash in Shop Crafting Slots
You get 50 SimCash for free when you first start playing the game, but you can easily get more by paying using in-app purchases. You can use SimCash to speed up various processes to make the game go faster, but it’s not the best way to spend your SimCash.
The best way to spend your SimCash is to expand the shop production slots to fit more slots. The more places you have for your stores, the less you have to fill them and the more productive you can be with production items.
As for factories, the only way to widen these gaps is to build larger factories that cost Simoleons. Also, larger factories only become available when you reach a certain level in the game. The only way to expand slots for shops is to spend SimCash, so make sure you spend most (if not all) of your SimCash for this purpose.
Be Patient and Camp
One of the biggest mistakes you can make in SimCity BuildIt is adding too many residential buildings and upgrading them too quickly. Police, fire department, health etc. Remember that you need money to build various services such as
If you build a lot of dwellings without having enough Simoleons to build enough service buildings, then you’ll be in big trouble and the residents will start to move in because there isn’t a police department nearby.
Instead, be patient and work with the fire department, police departments, etc. Stay at a certain level to save money until you have enough money for it. This is known as “camping” and basically involves doing nothing but producing items and then selling them to make them. money. A great method for this is to sell chairs, which goes for 1,500 Simoleon for five chairs.
An actor found a way making about 24,500 Simoleons a day and playing the game for only 40-50 minutes a day. This is definitely not a gimmick, you can earn up to 170,000 Simoleons in a week just by making and selling chairs and vegetables. That’s a lot of money.
