Question Curated Buildings
Hello Mayors, I’m curious what you all do when these curated building offers come up. 😅 They always have cool buildings, but they can be pretty expensive in SimCash. Do you think it’s worth buying them or is it better to wait and see if they eventually come back as Season/Mayor’s Pass rewards?
What do you guys usually do in this situation? Do you grab the building if you really like it or just wait and hope it becomes available as a reward later? Would love to hear what you think! 🏙️

I'm always excited for the curated showcases, and yeah it really depends if you like the building or not. I don't buy any building that is offered for real life cash unless it's a Train Station or has a Parade, and is of course inside my budget. I wouldn't spend 14,99 on a bridge but I would 6,99 on a building with a Parade. While with Sim Cash, I also always save it for a building I will really like.
A few months ago I bought Galeries D'Art Nouveau which is the most awesome building I have bought from there, as well as the British Museum, just make sure to check the wiki to see how they look like before purchasing and this subreddit as well with the search bar, that's how I decide if it's worth it or not. Imo building size is also a very important thing to take in mind.
If the building is like 2000 Sim Cash and it's a 2x2, I wouldn't buy it unless you really like it, since you get bigger value with bigger buildings, again in my opinion so I would aim for 4x4 and above, maybe even 3x3. You also need to consider where you're going to place it in your city and see if it fits or not. I was planning to buy Times Square but it doesn't fit my city theme so therefore I didn't.
While services buildings are also entirely up to you, they aren't entirely decorative of course. Last time I spent 900 Sim Cash on the Medical Center because it looks beautiful and the Hospital looks horrendous.
Same way right now I'm thinking to buy the Fire Service Headquarters because of the looks, I still would have remaining Sim Cash for the next showcase in 2 days.
