I am playing Sim City: Build It android version now.
Didn't know how to play at first besides just knowing that I need to provide material and build and build buildings to get money. Finding information how this works is impossible. The manual to how to really play it doesn't comes with clear instructions at all.
Gradually, I found that: -
1. You need to make the people happy. Don't keep on building coz when get too crowded, people are not happy. When they are not happy, they pay less taxes. Don't put houses near sewage, electricity and waste coz again, they will complain. Try to get special items like entertainment, beach, transport to boost your population and make the people happy.
2. Expanding storage and land is hard. You don't always get bubble conversation to get free stuff especially for expanding land. You just have to go Global Trade to find these stuff yourself. Believe me and it ain't going to be easy and come by all the time. When you see it, you just gotta grab it before it is gone. Everyone needs it.
3. You need to have good network. If you don't, it will come hard for you get stuff in Global Trade before it is gone. I went through this frustration many times.
4. Global Trade. Didn't know that at first that I need to hop around. I later realized that you need to refresh and hop around places to places to enter to see what is in store and find the stuff you need. If your network is just no good, someone else will grab it before you do.
5. When you hop around in Global Trade, be sure to notice a gift in places you visit. Click on it, and you will get a gift for visiting.
6. The plane assignment for delivery to Paris, London, Tokyo. This will give you parts you need to build the special building. You don't have to do it coz you can get it at Global Trade. I find it not worth getting stress over this. Just have to wait patiently for others to throw it out.
7. Omega buildings are the difficult ones to build. You can't get parts over the Global Trade. You have make the capsule which will cost you 7000 Simoleons. This capsule sometime will give you only 3 items and sometimes more. You have to make a few capsule before you can get every items to build it. Alternatively, you can purchase the parts at NeoMall. If you have Neo Simoleons. Don't have, sell existing parts you don't need. There will this bubble that will pop out Control NetTower or Drone Base to ask you want to sell particular part for Neo Simoleons.
There may be more I have not discovered. The good part about this game is that unlike other games you need to buy game dollars using cash, this game gives you by watching videos that is provided you pick the correct box. Overall, this game certainly beat other games that I have come across. Though this game like other games also comes with the frustration, at least this one comes with free dollars so that you can use to make the game move sometimes. I will continue to play it until I get sick of it.
