Kaja De Roche I'm level 13 and still only have about 20,000 coins. Is there something im doing wrong or will I eventually begin to earn them more?

[@kajaderoche6358]

@@ryanwalker2016 I'm no expert but what I do is try to ensure that my Sims are always happy. Try completing assignments at the Contest HQ , complete as much as u can. You can earn lots of coins that way or check out your Mayor's journal. It'll give you tasks to do which u can earn coins from. Also, at nights before I go to bed, I set my factories to high produce items of high demand, (eg, grass, watermelons,planks etc) Those stuff go quick . Save up as much coins as u can and unlock the first specialization for each category. Education and Transportation I think is at $40 000, the beach at $20 000 and Entertainment at $60 000 . This can help in boosting up your Sims , which in turn allows you to collect more coins (tax) . Once they're unlocked , it's easier to get the other items in their categories as most of them cost gold keys. Which u can get from doing deliveries or Vu Tower. I hope this explanation helps .

[@AXEJAYB]

@@ryanwalker2016 So the best way to go about managing your levels is to get to level 15 and begin farming as may seeds as you can and turn them into vegetables, this will net you loads of cash so you can get the best Utility's available. And you will want to have at least 31k saved up before you upgrade to 16 to get the best medical building available. Be careful of going to level 17 because your Global Market will be practically unusable and flooded with Sugar and Spice

(Haven't watched the whole video yet) I hate how as soon as you get to a certain level, for example level 14, all of the sudden all your people get extremely mad for not placing a service, and they assume you have all the money in the world.

[@masjwar]

I get it! I made a video detailing how to manage growth and leveling with demand so as to never have that problem. I forget the exact title, but it's in my vids. Maybe it will help.

[@irfanemajdouline7626]

I am now at level 21 and I have more than 95% of happiness in my city I actually saved money by not buying anything and selling the items that I produce and I bought all the services and parts to make sure no one needs anything so it just depend on how you think and how you manage your money or creating your own strategy

[@MsDancingdolphin]

So true! I've got wise to that now. I check what the next level will open up (tap on the level number in top left corner). If it's something blue, like police or health centres, I will not upgrade buildings until I have a shed load of money.

[@thehonestchristian492]

Just a little info for newbies: Don't just sell anything to the sims that request items. Check to see how much you would be able to sell it for in the market. This will help you avoid loosing money on your hard earned resources, and it can give you more money than what you would get in the market. For example: I got an offer to sell 2 metal for 30. In the market I would have only gotten 20 for 2, so I made an extra 10. On the flip side they wanted 6 nails for 260, but selling 6 in market would give me 480. So CHECK your sim offers before you agree.

[@masjwar]

So true. Good advice.

[@omkarkulkarni9355]

TL DR - 1) Advertising makes not just the one item, but your whole depot available to global. So beware! 2) War deliveries - Skip the time-consuming deliveries, and ones which are expensive. 3) Energy efficiency - Everytime your energy bar fills up completely, you are losing potential points. If you're under a shield, there's not much you can do, but if you're not, you should attack before your energy bar fills up. 4) Focus on just one rare item set - (for example, focus only on beach at one time. If you keep collecting multiple things like land and beach at the same time, it clogs your storage.) 5) Leveling up is a bad idea because while you unlock new items, you are now required to produce them as well. Also, in the contest of mayors, high level people means more experienced people who may be more willing to spend simcash on their assignments. I hope it's alright that I have added this, and masjwar isn't offended. I want to know what makes you think Disco Twister as one of the best attacks. Movie Monster I understand, but what, in your opinion, makes Disco Twister so good ? Let me know your thoughts.

[@masjwar]

I have conferred with the Masjwar, and they are not offended. :) I do feel your summation, while covering the basic points of the video, can leave players who don't understand (for whatever reason) what is stated still in a state of confusion no matter how much they reread this. Point-for-point, energy for score, magnetism is the absolute best disaster in the game. However, due to the excessive amount of items required, a majority of players will not be using it as their primary disaster. "Average" disasters are one for one energy to damage and items required to damage. As you progress through the disasters, disco twister has some of the more easily accessible items needed to launch (in my experience), as well as a better than average ratio of items needed for damage gained. I hope that makes sense without being too long of an explanation.

[@omkarkulkarni9355]

masjwar totally agreed! Magnetism is the best, considering energy to points ratio, but it needs too many items. BTW, Disco Twister is my favorite too! Most wars I just keep using Disco Twister, sadly I don't have Movie Monster yet.

[@katielynn2701]

I agree with the fact that leveling up is a disadvantage. When I started playing this game, the beach, mountain, and even different types of homes (Tokyo, Omega, etc.) was nonexistent. There was no contest of Mayors and certainly not Wars. You could actually refresh Global Trade as often as you wanted (no 30 sec. wait), so leveling up was considered a positive as you could still find the items you needed. The point of the game or at least how you achieve a larger/ better city has changed completely. This is why the level system no longer makes sense. I wish EA would have figured out the direction of the game or at least planned ahead better so that the additions/changes to the game wouldn't directly interfere with it's original setup. However, I do understand EAs decisions. Before the game was something you checked a few times a day, maybe. Now it's almost necessary to check multiple times, so I'm sure as a result the more time people spend on the app the more money EA makes. Financially, it makes perfect sense. As far as game play, not really.

This is so important. Levelling up is a nightmare. It makes everything harder. When you needed a few nails to build, now they ask for corn or cream. Also the contest of mayors is now harder. I have a few questions. 1. Is the Vu tower important/beneficial? I feel like it’s a waste of 40k at my level (28) 2. How do you avoid levelling? Would it be wiser to just stick to making and selling products and buying up more land space?

[@dmitri-ib9qp]

Why is everyone complaining about that he is explaining so long I find it useful and you can see before you click in on video how long it is.

[@Rageedii]

Levelling up is a big No! I realized that when I was about level 22 and rushed to unlock fast food restaurant thinking that the black biscuits would help me make coins, but i later realized that in all products, the profit is not more than 400 coins. In addition to that, as u level up, rarely required products flood the global market and you won't be able to get most of the good products that are necessary. I had to create a new account, build a new city from scratch to access the old good market, then trade with my old city...it is helping 100% and i stopped levelling up. Point of correction: It is not only your club members that can access you shop if you don't advertise your items, your facebook friends who play the game can also access your shop. Thanks for the good work.

[@masjwar]

Thanks for the support and agreement. I did mention that FB friends can access the depot as well (approximately at 5:03) but it was brief and in passing.

Been playing for a while now and the best thing to do is: Always have metal, wood and rubber in production. Don't spend your coins on recommendations the game gives you unless it's very necessary. Try as much as possible to join a club, an active club and compete in the contest of mayors. And also the design contest too engage in that. Try your best to engage in wars when your club is at war, you'd get sim bucks from this too.

You talk about levelling being the issue to not finding items in GM, I disagree and actually think that once we reach a certain level the algorithm changes from showing us what we want and need to get us hooked on the game to actively inhibiting us getting what we want and need to Drive up monetised purchases primarily but also Keep us lower, playing longer to encourage monetised purchasing or if we use the watch an advertisement feature the more we play the more we watch still equaling revenue for the company. The thing to remember is games are no longer innocent, when something is annoying and doesn’t make sense it’s normally linked in to somehow driving up revenue

The third mistake is no longer important because energy regenerates at 5 min per energy. And unless you’re scoring over 60,000 points in a war that would not be important. I would assume the developers changed it to 5 mins when they added jp’s and other power ups because that made more sense for maximum jp efficiency.

[@davidhill8565]

Do not accept Sim Offers asking for items used to expand the city’s border or increase city storage capacity. Do not accept Sim Offers asking for Omega items you currently need to expand Omega storage or Neo Simoleon wallet capacity. Therefore, do not accept Sim Offers that will hinder expansion. If you want to pay for SimCash, wait for a sale.

My comments about the war were based on my observations and experience, what i said, regarding some of the comments made to your video, were not aimed at new players, they were aimed at those who have obviously not taken any notice of the games tutorials, as when you progress through the game, everything is explained to them, but i apologise if I offended anyone.

[@PartisanGerm]

I would actually put road planning as the first newbie mistake, but as we can see, you didn't plan a thing. For optimal coverage of Services (specifically Fire or Maxis Manor 22x22), a grid of four rows running 12 residences long is best. I'm only level 25 right now a couple months in, so that might kinda change when I expand into another grid towards the mountains, but eyeballing it looks like it will fit another in nicely. I totally agree with the holding back on leveling up for as long as possible, and how much harm unlocking new items and features does. I rushed up to level 15 a bit too quick and found I didn't have enough Simoleons to get all the basic services running so that hurt pretty bad for a while with scary red faces and low taxes. I might keep going to 30 just to get started on Omega stuff, but maaaan the storage limit is a real bitch. I would say, it's probably best to have five slots for each material and product able to be made. This will leave enough room to collect the expansion, Vu, and war items with relative ease as well, I think.

[@masjwar]

[@CanadianSpaceBoy]

It's more important to use jackpots efficiently than to constantly attack plus its better if you don't play 8 hours a day

[@masjwar]

What if you attack constantly and use jackpots efficiently, while playing 8 hours a day?

[@MSlushalot]

Thank you, i learned things i didn’t know.

[@masjwar]

Glad I could help

[@DJ-ls4vy]

A tip I can give to you for future vids is that you can try to simplify the video more. Maybe write down a script on a notebook or something so you aren’t making things up in the top of your head and repeating things 3-4 times. Also try to seem a bit more energetic as it could gain you a lot more views as the viewers would be more likely to check out your other videos.

[@masjwar]

Thanks

[@aditya-jha]

You've got a damn large storage. And the keys.....fuck

[@heatherbellamy3148]

Aditya Jha my thoughts exactly! He pays for some monthly allotment of SimCash and I don't know what else is included (saw it on another reply on a different comment). So that explains it, methinks! My jaw about dropped when I saw his storage! Here I was proud of myself for being able to store 75 items, and selling the items that would expand City Storage because for me, 75 is enough! Lmao!!

[@drubradley8821]

Thank you for the info... there is a bit of nonsense out there that I struggle to follow along with... Been playing for 2 weeks, sitting at about 94,000 population, and all is happy, 100%... But now that everything is balanced out "FINALLY!!!" ... I am now afraid to add one more plot of residential, lol, fearing it will upset everything, this is crazy... and I do have a question, every tax cycle (1 to 3 hours? I think) the second the coin hovers above the building, and I click it ,I only get as of the 94,000 population and change, 135 simolians, per cycle.. Shouldn't that be more, sure, if I don't collect it for half a day or so, it is a much bigger pile of money... thank you for the info... I hit the sub button, will watch your.content later tonight after work today...

[@masjwar]

In regards to the "messing everything up" cycle... I totally get it. I made a video to help combat that exact issue (check out "Balancing Growth With Service Demand"). In regards to the tax revenue. I'm used to games allowing you to pick your tax revenue percentage (with 20% being a common upper level limit and starting number). Here you have no say, nor does it appear based on that criteria in any way. I don't know what you are basing your "taxes aren't enough" question on, but when I started playing I felt that way and this was why. That's why I'm adding this. The tax revenue seems unpleasantly low, but it is what it is. Wait till you start regional cities and find the population generates nothing. Lol.

[@lydia1461]

Just earn cash by selling item from making.. like.. hammers ,nails..

[@lusanBEP]

this video could be like 30 sec long dude

[@masjwar]

This is true, but then just as with your comment, there would be a lot left unexplained. And then I would have lots of questions like why or what do you mean or how and I would have to either make another video or I would have to respond over and over to answer the questions. My preference is to make everything clear the first time. And then I only have to deal with people complaining about my video being too long or too thorough. Thank you for the comment though.

[@kaustubhc4427]

Global trade is the most important building in my life

[@tancheeken]

Be concise in your explanation. You took 5 mins to explain Advertise button! Don't need to repeat a description 20 different sentence structure.

[@masjwar]

Sorry. I do. Some people like it some don't. I can see you don't.

[@Soul-Nate]

[@teeeach]

Really helpful! I hope they pay you for this video. You helped me understand the game so much better . I hope they are compensating you!

[@masjwar]

No I just do it to be helpful. Glad it had some benefit for you. :)

[@BH-wl8xr]

Also i avoided levelling right from the start, as soon as i hit level ten i stopped building buildings XD i hate having so much stuff to make and find.

I have a person in my club having 99999999999 gold coins, 9999999999 sim cash. , __ gold coins.. , __ platinum keys.. 🤦🏼‍♂️ hackers..

[@PeachORican]

What do you think about holding off on getting the airport and the vu tower opened? When might be a good time to open these? By a certain level? By a certain amount of storage space?

[@ivygeer7028]

My advice is not to spend your coins on Vu tower. You spend 40k just to destroy your city with a disaster, and then rebuild it for a couple of golden keys. It’s useless in my opinion.

[@johnvincentdoromal8523]

But sometimes, you'll have assignments that requires you to destroy your city, rebuild it, and it gives you 2k to 3k points in my experience for the contest of mayors. I'd say it helps a lot when you want to win grand prize.

[@deborahbucherdesigns540]

I wish I had never added the train and am now wondering if I can remove it. I get asked for bolts, hats etc. It takes forever to earn enough to purchase those items and everytime you purchase the price increases. We should just be able to manufacture the needed items. Whoever thought this up should be FIRED!!

[@masjwar]

It sounds like the holiday themed factories then. Just another thing that makes the game more complicated while actually adding nothing. But it does increase the chance people willing to put up with it will spend money, and thats what its all about. The next cash grab. 🤬🤬🤬

[@KingSoraProductions]

I like the train but I feel you with added items that you just don't need to upgrade and do deliveries, etc. A tutorial for the mass transit train system would be great too.

[@karendias3893]

I only put the train in as I was asked for bolts several times and I got tired cancelling out and waiting for 30 mins each time. I'd have never put in the train otherwise. Even now I just run it whenever I can just so I can buy bolts when needed.

[@margaretmax-community]

Thanks that was helpful. I’ve been getting land instead of storage. Big help.

[@masjwar]

Glad it was helpful

[@MadM3l]

I've been playing SimCity Buildit since before the COM started, and I was hoping this video was gonna give me some real hints, and not just explain the normal gameplay. I'm also astonished by some of the replies to it, i.e. how on earth have people been playing it if they didn't even know how to go to global shop, or know how to keep their Sims happy? It's not exactly a difficult game to play and everything is explained in the tutorial. No wonder some of the club's we fight in the wars, seem to not have a clue about what to do. Which totally spoils a good battle, especially when they just hide under their shields for over 24 hours of it. If you enter a battle, you should then fight, instead of wasting the other clubs time and resources. HINT 1 - how to keep your city happiness at 100% by filling in any patch of unused land with roads, this will make your Sims happier, as more roads than buildings makes it less congested with traffic, and you also shouldn't get any red roads. HINT 2 repairing after a war attack, if you don't have the items required, just click the green hard hat to change the items it wants, as this only takes 5 minutes, which is a lot quicker than waiting to make the missing items or looking on global shop for them. HINT 3 - Always have plenty of nails during a war, for quick repairs, so you can get back to attacking faster, ( i usually have around 25/30 nails in my storage). I hope that helped anyone!

[@masjwar]

I'm guessing even though you've been playing for a while you actually have very limited awareness of what a lot of the player base is like. I would also believe that you are one of the typical players that just treat new players with disrespect and disdain and don't help anyone that doesn't understand something. Perhaps you've been playing so long you forgot what it was like to be a new player? I also strongly disagree with you that the tutorial has thorough explanation of the game play. It also appears that you think everyone should play based on what you want them to do instead of what they want to do. So I hope that helps you.

[@heatherbellamy3148]

Very helpful tips, I for one appreciate you sharing them! Didn't know it was possible to change repair materials requirements, good to know and thanks again! FWIW, I am a relatively new player (especially when it comes to war), and I did not feel disrespected.

[@SincereFour9906]

Please continue, You may be a huge help to some players, but try and advise with new players too, it would be a huge help to small and big players.

[@bigmikem90]

[@SincereFour9906]

-_-

[@beaconhills-minikitz3277]

Informative for those unseasoned to the Buildit world. Good advice for fresh noobies (beginners). Again, this should be common knowledge for the more experienced user.

[@masjwar]

I've found that nothing is common knowledge until you've learned it, and the only way to learn it is to have someone (or something) present it to you.

[@whatgradeyouin6312]

masjwar u sir are correct... And thanks for sharing... #WISDOM

[@tk1153]

Omg. I am NEW to this game and I am now seeing this video. I NEED almost all your items in your storage. Lolol. The market keeps selling spice, burgers, light bulbs and fries ... uggghhhh and producing some items take up to 6 hours.

[@masjwar]

Welcome aboard!

[@jkn1960]

The global trade HQ is the most tedious part of the game by far. Mine is always full of hamburgers and pizza. I almost never produce these myself as they are so easy to find in the trade HQ. Why do so many players keep producing and selling these things?

[@masjwar]

Most people inaccurately presume that because the sell price is so high, they are the best product in the game to make simoleons with.

[@jkn1960]

Yes, they think they can sell them at a high price then they sit unsold forever almost. Supply and demand.

[@masjwar]

Most high priced items get purchased by Daniel after the 48 hour (I think. Or maybe its 72 hour. I haven't played in years and forgot) window has expired.

[@EmDogs]

How funny, I see my name in your contest of mayors ranking screen, hah! I'm EmDogs Acres 😜

[@jennaorlowski9228]

5 minutes in this guy is still talking about advertising... My head hurts

[@masjwar]

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry the information overwhelmed you.

[@CTAjunior]

Bueller... Bueller... man it felt like I was watching an infomercial. Too long too boring I think I’ll take my chances and make mistakes. Good luck with your progress though

[@masjwar]

Good thing you watched one of my short videos. Good luck.

[@jessicacampen862]

Damn, such a nice and soothing voice! Would love to have some audiobooks read by you to listen to :D

It would be nice if they allowed you to change the default for advertising to unchecked.

[@TumaTime]

I just started playing lvl 8 thanks for the video

[@Realiam.ThatmanSnipes]

Storage maximum is 600. I haven’t reached the omega storage max yet, so I don’t know that.

[@masjwar]

Thanks for the info.

[@Realiam.ThatmanSnipes]

masjwar you’re welcome, thanks for posting a helpful video for those new to the game, I’ll def recommend it to the folks in my club.

[@man_on_wheelz]

Good to know, I was wondering this...

[@KingSoraProductions]

You must have... over 10 million people in your city by now! lol Or maybe 10 million per each city since there's 4 more cities now. Nice vid man! Keep going! You're doing good!

[@CollectorsCorner777]

That's if he even still plays.

[@MariaKozorezova]

Yes, leveling sucks! :D That I totally agree with:)

[@egill624]

Maria Kozorezova When I unlocked sugar and spices, the global market became saturated with it! I could hardly ever find what I need!

[@heatherbellamy3148]

E Gill OMG tell me about it!!! I'd have all but one slot in the area filled with sugar and spices...day after day! Now all I see are the Vu items and mountain items!

[@Despzero777]

I dont know bout that global market thingy, probably ur right. But i always sell everything, regardless.. Thx for info tho

[@Silverado138]

I realized leveling up sucked when the market place was nothing but hamburgers and nothing else... I want a big population but with that it requires leveling up so now like what you said is i am concern about increasing my storage to the size of yours.... im only at 175... long way to go... and the assignments i have only been in the 2nd place once it is harder when you level up so i want to be first so I dont level up... I want to say were I am and maybe get first a couple of times but i hate it when it says to do an update on the residential area... so i am going to level up soon...

[@masjwar]

Yep that sums it up in a nutshell.

[@storytimewithgranno]

Good advice. But, what looks like a mistake to the programmers, can be a strategy. Sometimes, but not usually. I've played this since it was a cartridge you plugged into an old school gaming unit. Just aged myself 😅 :)

[@photographybyzak]

This is so hard to watch! You take 7 damn minutes to explain advertising which should really take you 60 seconds at most. I couldn’t watch the rest, it’s just so painful!!

[@masjwar]

Awesome. Find another channel since my presentation style won't be changing. Just don't complain when you don't understand stuff in the game.

[@photographybyzak]

masjwar I did find another channel, one that wasn’t so long and full of unnecessary crap. Also the uploader doesn’t whine like a b*tch when criticised. 🙂

[@masjwar]

Thank goodness! Feel free to let me know how that goes and share the channels here for others that don't like my presentation style.

[@photographybyzak]

masjwar wouldn’t want to bore you to death with links etc. Although if I did, it would make us even.

[@masjwar]

It's ok. That's why you like short videos. You are too used to bullshit, lies, and no explanation or follow up. Merry Christmas although all the other peeps would probably have preferred all the links to your amazing finds. No presents for them.

[@thehonestchristian492]

I get the specialty of expansion, but the items get so much harder to find. You almost have to hoard, unless you have sim bucks. I mean 6 dinars when you only tend to find 1 every once in a blue moon? Just my opinion though...but I get the reason behind it.

[@masjwar]

Everything definitely gets exponentially harder, and almost all of it is tied to the level you are. Which is why one bit of advice I always give is to try not to level past level 18 any more, or faster, than you have to. Good luck in the game. If you have any questions I'll definitely try to answer them.

[@thehonestchristian492]

@@masjwar Any advice on storage strategy? Mainly a good number to keep for long timer items?

[@masjwar]

I recommend always focusing on storage upgrade until you max out (I think its 700 max now, but I'm not maxed lol). The more storage you have the easier everything else is. Temper that advice with whatever you are doing and prioritize what's most important at the time. That's my best advice.

[@Shaniicex]

Nice movie, with every extra region, you can add 20 more storage, i have 4, so i have 680 storage, including mayor pass 685 for 71 days. Storage is the most important upgrade at all times!

[@Ryan-op9fx]

I disagree. I think that if you maintain your storage at about 70 for level 16, it should be fine as I suggest frequently emptying out your storage into the trade depot to sell

[@Grimord]

[@jf13579]

I think one of the biggest things you can do to help club members is have a lot of useful items for sale. They seem to appreciate it, if nothing else. :)

[@shanthalchavarria8980]

Uh guys I’m a SimCity mayor CALM DOWN NOW dmitrt2211 is right why is Everybody is complaining?

[@Wavinto]

I liked the tips, I recently started playing again and just reached Level 24, but now I try to keep my level down to do better in Mayor Contest. I am making the mistake of collecting multiple items, but on another small town I created I store Storage and Land Items until I have enough for the next Upgrade. By the way: What is your opinion on items for dr vu catastrophies? I have about 10-12 of each in stock (200 storage) in case I need to unleash one for mayor contest. If I get some from my village or visiting people should I keep them or sell all and buy some when needed (they rarely show up on my Global market though)

[@masjwar]

It is my belief that expanding storage as a primary goal is one of your better options and then maximizing the amount of VU items you have (if you do the contest of mayors) is definitely in your best interest.

[@thruster37]

I'm at 38. The best tip is the one to be cautious about leveling up, and only someone in the 50+ range could issue that warning. I always horde my vu items because if you get a launch disaster and repair disaster, that's an easy 2,000 points in the contest.
