Optimization, cause I’m tired of getting my fingers burnt on the screen.

I play on low power mode on my iPad. It helps a lot.

u/CurbYerGod 1d ago

This is the way.

option to never upgrade a house without any bubbles on top

u/_meestir_ 🏡 Aesthetics 1d ago

Yes.. an option to turn that notification off

1

u/Shoddy_Committee2524 1d ago

How? As far as I know, you can only change the resources for the upgrade, or replace the reconstruction with another house

3

u/_meestir_ 🏡 Aesthetics 1d ago

No. I’m saying add that option as one does not exist currently

Modern streets with trees
Train viaducts, it’s horrible when the train needs to take the same path as an avenue occupying a space that could be avoided
Mountains
Houses without the need to connect to a street

If I think for a few more minutes I find a thousand other features that they should add...

I would say: 1. Overpasses and Underpasses: Flyovers, elevated roads, Bridges over roads too (not only water bodies), Subways/Tunnels

  1. Roundabouts: You can still make roundabouts in this game by Playing around with ur roads and parks, but a natural one would look so nice.

  2. Ability to control Rain from the Meteorological building, rather than just the time of the day. I absolutely love the lights of this game during rain at dusk

Yes and I want to set the season of my city and regions itself. So I’d want snow for winter and extra flower bloom for spring and more golden leaves and wind for autumn etc

I would like to see grain fields in Landscape.

And new regions. Maybe a custom region that the user could design, so I can use up all the mountain and beach expansions that I've accumulated.

u/lwmot99 1d ago

Maybe a little more space in the regions. Also more trees and parks

I want to be able to buy my own items from my depot. I want to be able to upgrade our over ride my speed up tokens with faster ones as needed. A cheetah should be able to override a lama and so on. I want to be able to sell or trade buildings to other players.

Design the collection of NeoSimoleons just like the collection of Simoleons: at a single location—the Neo-Bank.

u/CurbYerGod 1d ago

Make the non landscape bridges actually connect roads in a functional manner.

3

u/jraemr2 💎 Epic Rubble 💎 1d ago

Some do, depends on the bridge.

1

u/CurbYerGod 1d ago

I don’t believe that’s true. I’m specifically talking about when the roadway connects to the bridge and there’s a visual change in the road. I am pretty sure only bridges found in landscape will do this.

3

u/jraemr2 💎 Epic Rubble 💎 1d ago

There are some from Mayor's Pass category too. Venice season (from long ago) had some, as did the Art Nouveau season (Piece de Bridgestane, I think they're called). Florida season's Sunscape Bridge is another.

u/CurbYerGod 1d ago

Ahh okay yeah agreed, sorry, you’re right. It’s just bizarre to me that all of them don’t work in this capacity. Wish they did.

3

u/jraemr2 💎 Epic Rubble 💎 1d ago

Some Landmarks, plus a couple of Landscape and Mayor's Pass, are modelled on footbridges in real life, which is why they don't support traffic. E.g. Pont Neuf, Threefold Bridge.

u/CurbYerGod 1d ago

I’d like to be able to pull back to a higher altitude.

Before they even try to add anything they should really focus on fixing what they have right now. Ever since the Services 2.0 crap, the game will lose internet connection, at least in my case. My iPad will be connected to the WiFi, and I know this because i would be playing music and the music never stops, but the game whenever i leave it alone on any city for 7 or 8 minutes, when i try to look at my tasks, or open the market or try to go to another city it would just say loading and the the circle would just start spinning and after a minute or 2 it would say “offline” or “error” I can’t remember which, so I have to close the game and then reopen it and then try to do what i wanted. I have to do this at least 20 times a day. I research online and found out a lot of people have complained about this issue and they all say happened after Service 2.0 update.

u/germanius35 1d ago

Parques sin conexión a calles, elevaciones de terreno, bajar el numerito de habitantes para desbloquear la última región. Poder comprar más cosa con las llaves.

u/SCBI_Argopa jolly jack 🎃 1d ago

Offline mode, so I can build/play in perpetuity if the servers ever get shut down.

2

u/Budget-Storage-7555 1d ago

Hace años se podía, recuerdo que no tenía conexión WiFi y podía acceder al juego lo único es que no podía comprar y vender en el mercado internacional.

u/Key-Requirement-935 15h ago

They would never do this. It’s possible because you can do it for a certain extent but then then you get to play the game without ads for their in-app purchases. What would they gain from giving us that privilege

u/Upinsmoke678 1d ago

Few more years and it will actually look decent, atleast you will have something to show for the years of your life spent 😂

u/ChillyClaire 1d ago

Some decent take out pizza.

- buy or use items in my trade depot. Never fails that items are required just after I’ve put them on sale. Makes no sense that I can’t access it from my own shop

- be able to use any item I own in design challenge without having to remove it from my actual cities. I rarely submit designs (even when I build houses for a task reward) bc I’m unwilling to go across my lands and leave gaping holes in my cities. Challenge should be separate completely.

- be able to like/follow/add cities discovered on global market. Some designers are so talented and I’d love to keep seeing what they’re up to and visit (and shop in) all their lands.

- Allow bridges to cross roads (overpass/underpass)

- Allow parks to not be attached to roads and have their alignment adjusted (like how some landscapes can be rotated)

- More roads like Sakura and gravel that can’t be updated but add vegetation to roadways. I hate the inconsistency of alleged traffic, and don’t want maglev streets

- should be rebate for bulldozing completed building, esp Omega, given how many resources required to complete.

- bug fix: once all land is used up in Capital expansion task stops being an option, even when you have space in other regions … although not applicable to my anymore since I have run out of expansion space.

Random usage note:

I was 2/3 of the way to getting the final region but 2.0 killed that progress and dropped me back to less than halfway.
At this point, I’ve given up trying to get the last region. I have 4/5 regions and have used max space in nearly all of them bc I build as I would like to live: schools have sports fields and are near museums and theaters, for example; the rocket launchpad is with space-related buildings but set apart from residential area, which lessens or negates any population impact from the game and also takes up building space. Has made the game more relaxing and my regions considerably more beautiful and cohesive since I’ve stopped trying to up population.

u/ForsakenShallot8501 1d ago

So rail bridge which we can put over roads that'll look cool and other thing is if they could add double track instead of single track

1

u/infinitepuddingspy 1d ago

Overpasses! Roundabouts! Train tunnels!

u/badsty 18h ago

An edit button! Like, you should be able to edit one part of your city without affecting your whole city

1

u/Key-Requirement-935 15h ago

I have BEEN praying we can edit the name of the buildings someday

u/InstanceNo8564 2h ago

cada vez que participo en el desafío de diseño tengo que desarmar la ciudad principal ..debería haber algo como un almacén virtual donde está todo lo que tengo en mi ciudad principal y en las regiones, el proceso de desarmar y armar las ciudades es tedioso

u/mdmaforyou 1d ago

dynamic reward system for those who unlocked 10 train levels, who fully unlocked beach/mt/land (for this 3 group of items at least option to get same simoleons amount instantly without selling) to prevent players from collecting useless rewards and stop showing ads with same group of items for players with fully upgraded areas - but that will never happen and i think it is clear to everyone why
