the idea is great. city building is fun. after a week of playing this becomes a login once a day, spend money to upgrade things, then wait. I would rate it 2 stars, but the ads you can watch to get free sim money and other things do not always work. the temu ads go for too long and force my app to require a reopen.

Trying to do too much. This game used to be fantastic. in the last couple years they have added passenger trains. cargo trains. ridiculous upgrades to facilities. you open your game and suddenly you need to drop a million simoleons just to keep up because they decided to make the game even more complex, impossible, and if you don't take your very sweet time moving forward through the levels, the game will be impossible without spending a very decent real penny on game tokens. unplayable now. sad

Okay game, but you have to be very patient. I was continuously running out of simcoins (the local currency). Either you have to sell resources to get more, which takes a long time (like 30 minutes to hours) or buy them. They are quite pushy about selling stuff - it would be a better game if there were better mechanics for earning simcoins and they didn't try to make you buy them with money. It was fun but I eventually lost patience and uninstalled the game.
