Simcity Buildit Tips and Tricks

To build a successful city, there are some tricks. I am going to describe them below.

• Plan your city: Though it is possible to move buildings, but it is always good if you can plan your city before making it. For an example, keep the residential and industrial area away as far possible from each other. As industries cause pollution.

• Use service buildings efficiently: Residential area need fire stations, police stations and other service buildings. And those service buildings have a fixed area of effect. They won’t provide any service outside of their service area. So, try to place them in the perfect place to get the best outcome.

• Sort Your Inventory: To upgrade buildings, you will need various materials. Mainly these materials can be gathered from factories and stores. I think, it will be better if you know exactly what you’re looking for, and to play to the requirements, instead of stocking everything. You can check the requirement from the build menu by clicking on the icons. However, to get special items for upgrading, you will have to keep an eye on your residences for bubbles. All you have to do is click on them in time, to get the rewards.

• Make sure your buildings are occupied: Factories and stores provide the goods. So, it is important to keep them occupied all the time.
• Spend SimCash efficiently: After all, it is real money. So, you should be careful about wasting it here and there. Specially to seep up a timer, as it can be done without spending money. If you don’t like waiting, just take a break or play another game until the project or product you are waiting on is finished. However, if you have the will to spend cash, use it to expand your storage capacity as it is really important and a big advantage.

• Trade goods with friends: if you can play the game online, you will have access to the trading posts. Basically, these trading posts are filled with goods what others don’t need. But there is good chance you will be able to find what you are looking for, at a cheaper price. Moreover, you should sell any extra item which you won’t need as well.
• Expand your population: In the end, your main goal is to raise the population of your city. And to increase the population, you will have to build new residences, upgrading them, provide adequate services, build parks and other recreation structures to keep people happy.

• Don’t expand the city area too much: Though it is good to have some more population, expanding the city too much is not really beneficial. So, instead of occupying new plots, try to upgrade the existing buildings.
