they really need to introduce a feature that allows you to easily edit the layout of the city. A perfect example is how in Clash of Clans, they allow you to redesign the layout of your city by putting everything in storage, so you can put everything on a blank map while still saving your previous layout. I really hope that the SimCity BuildIt teams introduces something like this in the future.
Black Goku yeah a lot of ppl still play it! EA/Track-Twenty has been releasing new buildings more frequently now. There's a SimCity Buildit Fan Group on Facebook. There are a lot of active members on there.
Yes, only with roads that aren’t upgraded though. This is nice to do in the beginning when they game enjoys playing with you, strongly encouraging new players to pay to play.
After 7 years they still dont have an option for residential storage :/ I can see how it would be difficult to put into the game but its so essential for really optimizing your city on a regular basis and really getting a better experience. I just spent like over an hour laboriously click-holding all my residences and rearranging everything, but imagine if they introduced the option to store-all buildings of certain types with the tap of a button, then you can go into a menu and select each one to lay back down in your city... and how cool would it be if there was a single reset button that automatically put you back at a fresh map... come on simcity! Cool video by the way
Thanks so much for these tips! I've always struggled with having enough money to expand but having a horrid layout. And when I DO get a good layout, I run out of money for services. Have restarted like 15 times just to get it right! When I found this video, it turned gameplay around,and I could get people the services they needed without spending loads of money doing so. Thanks a ton!
Requirements: minimum of 100000 simoleons depends on your city size Money is only used for extra service buildings and for road upgrades. Also you need a decent expansion
Can anyone please help as soon as possible...I need one answer After completing one contest...Before starting new one....Is assignment also refresh...? Or if there are points to collect..Is it count in new contest if I collect after starting new contest....? Please help
Really good video honestly. I just redesigned and im going To do it again now. The part that stood out for me was to place specializations first. This should give me a population boost for sure cause it so hard to place any big specialization in an area that actually matters.

Thanks for your video from Turkey 🇹🇷 Good ideas but I was upgraded all my roads to last evolve. Rebuilding, It's too expensive for me, especially omega money 😔
Whenever the roads get congested and turn red, don't upgrade. Instead, you bulldoze and rebuild them and they'll return to normal. way too expensive to upgrade. It's a scam to get us frustrated and spend real money instead of waiting patiently. Good luck.
QUESTION: how long did it take for you to get the approval of the Sim and your population up after the operation???? I’m only on level 13 but I see some problems coming up because of my layout
HOW do I move the buildings? I just started playing and googled how to move buildings, which is how I found your channel, but I can't figure out HOW to move them. Thanks! :-)
Niamh-Creates hi thanks for watching! I’m glad you found my channel. To answer, your question: the way to move buildings is to “tap and hold” the building, then drag it with your finger. Sub to my channel and then you can ask me on my next live stream. Also, check out my beginners tips and tricks playlist!
There's basically two ways to play this game: You either build a nice looking city with a tiny population, or you build an ugly clusterfuck with a high population.
The main problem is i cant fit all the housing in the dumping area (the part where the house temporally are as i got 60 houses, this mess up my layout pretty badly and yea
SG-HyperX - watch my latest scbi video called city tour and I had the same problem. My suggestion is to do it by changing smaller sections at a time instead of changing the whole layout itself in one go.
I love your videos I have subscribed, liked, and pressed the notification bell! I have my own chanel so I now it fells to have a chanel! Keep up the great work!✊✊✊
Smith may I ask how many expansion lots you used for this video as i want to use this format too of the stations in the middle before i add my own ideas
I hate to just refer you to another video, but check out some of the playlists because there are design videos for beginner, intermediate and advanced players. But in short: start with your police, fire and health services and build AROUND them. Also place specialization buildings and build around them also. Thanks for watchkng
i currently have 300k sims in my city and my city is a whole mess, the roads are all over the way and it's impossible to redesign the roads and buildings and i don't want to make my sims unhappy and they'll probably leave the city until i actually fix it... there's so much to do if you want to redesign. i've spent so much money to upgrade roads and the refund is a joke, you get back a small refund of simoleons of the road that's so expensive.
For population, it might even go up depending on how well you place your specialization buildings. If you place them badly, such as pairing all the best boosts with the worst buildings, you will most likely go down. However, if you do the opposite your population will probably go up
Ryder Wilson you will lose population when going through the redesign process, but the main point is to redesign your city to maximize population. Place your specializations so that your building can be most effected by the population boosts!! Good luck and check out my other vids!
Andrew Manook well I WAAAS redesigning my city... you know how your population goes down once you take out the buildings that give you a population boost??....
The stupid things that ive spent a dozen of simoleons on uppgrading the roads, so now I just bulldozise them??? Gotta be another solution. Great vid btw
Taylor Pritchard well you can only do it for buildings under the Specialization category. You "click and hold" the building like you're trying to demolish it, but you select the recycle bin icon that pops up in the top right.
SG-HyperX - make sure you check out the arrangements of the buildings.. like make sure that the fire station isn’t taking the place of the police or hospital in my video because the fire services has a different coverage then the other two.
Should i do this during war? My city looks ugly and I can't fit any more specialisations or school buildings anymore. I have no space so I'm gonna redesign my city. I'm in level 30 btw and I do not have a lot of road upgrades.
I have spend too much on roads which makes it really hard for me to destroy them. I made three long avenues, a small boulevard, 4 six lane roads. how will I ever financially recover from that loss? you don't even get the full refund of destroying roads
I'm level 12 so far, and I never have enough money! I often need to build new services to cover new residential zones but I'm seemingly always sub 10k simoleons. Any tips on budgeting and making money?
Dont Level up. Make sure you dont do things which add points to Level up. Stay patient and do more trade. I have stopped on level 11 and got around 300,000 piled up within 2 weeks
I tried about the same thing, except I bulldozed all of my homes. After placing all of my services, parks and schools, I waited for available homes to place...I'm still waiting. I have a population of 12; with all the services, parks and schools. No matter what I do, home are not available to place.
But wouldn’t the residents abandon the building by placing it near factories and pollution or are you using non pollution factories and other services?
Yes they would, but not only that... the lack of roads and the fact that your roads probably wouldn’t connect to services anymore.... but the whole point of to REDESIGN your city to get better population.
I can’t do this cause I spent millions of dollars on the roads and I haven’t expanded the territory enough so I don’t have enough space to stock my building while I’m making the layout
You might not reply to me bc this was about 2 years ago. Theres 1 problem, when u upgrade the roads again they are going to be hella expensive, any little tip for tht?
In my opinion, it’s money already spent and at least you get half back. Redesigning is just a part of the game.. an exciting challenge for me... I’m just glad that I get some simoleons back
OK in my opinion, I don’t worry about deleting roads and upgrading because redesigning your city is just a part of the game. At least they give you some simoleons back
Its so expensive and difficult, its hard to afford items. Heck i don't think i have enough to buy a school. Can you also or do you have a guide for when Steve the giant octopus arrives ? I was so lost on what to do
Thought I'd try here as EA won't answer me ... I'm a current player in 2024 and they've introduced the railroads ... In the frosty fjord area they have 2 railroad bridges built in next to the road bridges ... I can connect to the farthest one but not the nearest one and have a 2 block road attached to the nearest railroad bridge, across the river ... I can't delete that road piece and every time I try the game freezes and crashes ... If anyone knows a solution I thank you in advance
they really need to introduce a feature that allows you to easily edit the layout of the city.

it's been years and yet they haven't added that lmao
@@khalilsubahi1310 they wont probably because its too much work for ea employees
4 years later... no change
the games is dead
That 10% happiness is giving me anxiety
Same
Lmfao!!
@Jin Cook same
@Mysterious Mystic
No idea
@Abhinav gaming network who asked
i hpe they have a city edit mode like in clash of clans so it will become easy
coc edit mode is the best
I also play coc
Hope also I play COC
That would really be awesome
I agree
Easy to do when you haven't sunk hundreds of thousands of dollars in roads.
Joshua Nelson IKRRRR
But you get refunds for them
Yeah you have to pay for them
Nategaming u need to upgrade roads which is expensive as hell espiecially if you line it up one long straight road.
aren't roads free?
Nice tips :D I wished they had an edit mode, that would be so so easier @@
Hải Nguyễn yes, it's been discussed before. I wish they had this as well
would be awesome !
yeah, that would be so much easier than abandoning your whole population
So true
That’s the only reason I don’t like this game, I mean I have too many building to relocate and it will save hours of work if they have edit mode
THANK YOU I THOUGHT NO ONE PLAYED THIS GAME ANY MORE

Hello ,Are you still alive?
It's kinda hard to do it when your city hasn't expanded enough
That happen to me
Same, i don't enough space because i try to keep my forest lol
Tip: You can destroy the road that needs upgrading and rebuild it at no cost to remove traffic jams
stonks
Yes, only with roads that aren’t upgraded though. This is nice to do in the beginning when they game enjoys playing with you, strongly encouraging new players to pay to play.
Lol that’s what I do🤣

Thank you for watching
I might be a bit later
Great tips. I had no idea so many of the buildings could be stored.
mdotschrody yea most (if not all) buildings/items under the Specialization category... it really helps a lot!
I actually did not have idea that so much few buildings cannot be stored
Dude! This Really helped! My roads were so screwed up, now they’re the most organized roads in the world! Thanks man!

I wish they would adopt the clash of clans method of layouts
But what if you spent money on roads such as avenues and six lane roads?
JNB Brothers well if you think about it, it’s like money already spent, so no harm no foul.. but yeah I understand putting a lot of money into roads.
Buildit with Smith Imagine if I had maglevs and street cars.
You get refunds
maglevs is sooo expensive like hell
Well you do get a rather average refund so you might have money to build those again.
Smith may I ask how many expansion lots you used for this video as i want to use this format too of the stations in the middle before i add my own ideas
SG-HyperX - yes you may ask. I had about 1/ 4 of the total available space at this point
Thanks for your reply mate 👌🏻
where i can find the store it?

Question for you bro: does your population and happiness go back up to the same level?
It will gradually go back up to its original level, assuming you have put your services down correctly.
For population, it might even go up depending on how well you place your specialization buildings. If you place them badly, such as pairing all the best boosts with the worst buildings, you will most likely go down. However, if you do the opposite your population will probably go up
The only problem is I'm afraid to lose populations of my city when I redesign
Ryder Wilson you will lose population when going through the redesign process, but the main point is to redesign your city to maximize population. Place your specializations so that your building can be most effected by the population boosts!! Good luck and check out my other vids!

How do you store buildings on iPhone?
Taylor Pritchard hi thanks for watching. They're not stored on my phone, they are stored in the inventory in-game
Buildit with Smith i know. But how do you store the buildings in game like what do you click?
Taylor Pritchard well you can only do it for buildings under the Specialization category. You "click and hold" the building like you're trying to demolish it, but you select the recycle bin icon that pops up in the top right.
Buildit with Smith i dont have storage icon appear on my game.
Anthony Tam you can only store Specialization items and the icon only appears when you tap and hold the building from the Specialization category
Saya baru tahu bahwa bangunan rumah bisa disimpan.Thanks
I did exactly whar you did but the public services somehow cant reach the spot you showed, did it nerfed like a little for the coverage?
SG-HyperX - make sure you check out the arrangements of the buildings.. like make sure that the fire station isn’t taking the place of the police or hospital in my video because the fire services has a different coverage then the other two.
How would I redesign my city because I don’t have as much space as you do

Be careful of the fact of loosing mony when destroying your upgraded roads. You must uprade them when your buildings will be moved
Thought I'd try here as EA won't answer me ... I'm a current player in 2024 and they've introduced the railroads ... In the frosty fjord area they have 2 railroad bridges built in next to the road bridges ... I can connect to the farthest one but not the nearest one and have a 2 block road attached to the nearest railroad bridge, across the river ...
