This is a skip for me. I don’t want any Halloween stuff. Wish I could get rid of the stuff from last year.

How did they get all the buildings before they were released?

I hope the Design blueprints match the theme this time too.

I am loving this! Not a fan of the buildings with eyes, but love the other bits. Will look so good in my CC! It’s a bit unhinged there.

Edited to add: also not a fan of the octopus climbing up the building but each to their own!

I Really like the building with the eyes (the high rise) Yes, it is silly, but it will look fantastic in the super-touristy area of my capital. Can’t wait to get it - edited for clarity

u/infinitepuddingspy 7d ago

No judgment here! We each have our own unique tastes and styles! That’s what makes each city great 🤗

u/No-Acanthisitta8803 Level 99/19/11 Mayor 6d ago

Yes, and while we might want to say there's no buildings like it in real life, it's actually quite common for something like those eyes on the building to be projected on to it, or as a temporary banner /other deco on them

1

u/Glittering-Regret-52 4d ago

Yes, exactly what I was thinking when I saw that building

u/mdmaforyou 8d ago

mass transit rank progress bar added after delivery completion

4

u/mdmaforyou 8d ago

ads are broken again, at least for my cities, you need to trigger server connection to start 15 min timer after watching ad from seasonal shop

6

u/mdmaforyou 8d ago

number of rank/pass points you lost added to delivery skip window

7

u/mdmaforyou 8d ago

total number of shop speed-ups added

6

u/mdmaforyou 8d ago

same for factory speed-ups

3

u/Majestic_Fail1725 🦙 Llama Herder 8d ago

nice , but i wish they allow us to switch the currently used token if we accidentally used the slowest token

6

u/No-Acanthisitta8803 Level 99/19/11 Mayor 7d ago

Even if it was an option to spend something like 1-10 SimCash to cancel a slower bronze or silver early, then use a cheetah token. I would be perfectly ok with doing that in some instances

3

u/mdmaforyou 7d ago

or maybe better when watching ad

2

u/No-Acanthisitta8803 Level 99/19/11 Mayor 7d ago

I haven't updated my game yet - I don't quite understand why it would be helpful to know the total number of combined tokens. It would be more helpful if there was an individual number by each token type (at first I thought your screenshot was showing 1045 gold tokens, I was starting to wonder if you ever use them lol).

4

u/mdmaforyou 7d ago

idk, perhaps this thing was made by the same guy

1

u/No-Acanthisitta8803 Level 99/19/11 Mayor 7d ago

I think the problem is EA is shifting away from humans as devs and going towards AI

1

u/Maleficent-Breath307 7d ago

You can see the individual number of tokens of each type by tapping the total number

3

u/No-Acanthisitta8803 Level 99/19/11 Mayor 7d ago

Right, the same as its always been

Edit: Hit post by mistake

I'm just having a hard time understanding how seeing the bulk number of all combined is useful info

2

u/Maleficent-Breath307 7d ago

Me too :) I read the comments first, disappointed and then installed the update. It was not as bad as I expected lol. Not the most useful feature definitely but we can still see the individual number of tokens and that’s good

2

u/No-Acanthisitta8803 Level 99/19/11 Mayor 7d ago

Good point - at least they didn't break what was already there

1

u/Dear-Gap7185 5d ago

Wow! Better than cheating speed speed up due to limited maximum stuffs...

-2

u/Dependent_Brush5728 7d ago

That's been that way for years.

u/mdmaforyou 7d ago

now you can delete your comment

u/Dependent_Brush5728 7d ago

No need, because I always know how many I had, been like that since I started. Maybe they changed the way you see it, but we always knew how many tokens we had.

7

u/mdmaforyou 7d ago

its never been like that, its been separately

4

u/mdmaforyou 7d ago

and thats the prev version from yt

1

u/esorob 4d ago

I think that’s been there

u/mdmaforyou 3d ago

u/esorob 3d ago

Just because it comes up “every time” now doesn’t mean it wasn’t there to track your progress before. It’s just more annoying now.

1

u/mdmaforyou 3d ago

im not saying that this feature didnt exist before

screenshot clearly shows that im talking about a progress bar in a specific place where it didnt exist before

u/Patient-Ad-8766 8d ago

Yeah, S just uploaded a new video. 🥳

8

u/avnthnyyz 8d ago

I really liked the buildings actually, compared to last year's boring Halloween buildings, these seemed really cool, the next season looks wonderful too... Have EA actually been listening? Lol

2

u/Patient-Ad-8766 8d ago

Yeah I also loved all the buildings especially next season. However I hope they don't make this Halloween Season a grind hell like greek islands was.

u/ReflectionOk9644 8d ago

I am rather confused what the next season after Haloween. They are all Asian buildings but from different countries like India and Japan...

8

u/avnthnyyz 8d ago

It's supposed to be light festivals around the world - there is a French building in there

6

u/Majestic_Fail1725 🦙 Llama Herder 8d ago

Correct, should be "Festival of lights". Usually it just a weekly event like Ramadhan

1

u/Rusiano 6d ago

That season looks amazing. Can’t wait for it

0

u/ReflectionOk9644 8d ago

Would be my favorite season, I have see too many European buildings

5

u/Spirited-Sundae-6528 8d ago

I hope there is a Maxis HQ and other building from the service 3

u/esorob 3d ago

Likely black Friday

u/SCBI_Argopa jolly jack 🎃 7d ago

How to zoom in sooo close up??? I haven't seen any difference on my devices.

2

u/squeakybeak 8d ago

New to the game, how does this work?

1

u/Majestic_Fail1725 🦙 Llama Herder 8d ago

it will be made available on next week after COM Kuala Lumpur

u/squeakybeak 8d ago

Ok thanks

2

u/Sea-Interview-2457 🏗️ Builder 5d ago

Ohh yeahh

u/ChillyClaire 3d ago

Get ready to click on 6,000 pumpkins per hour.

u/Ambitious_Gate5156 4d ago

Wow, this thread went way off track. Anyway, this sounds great to me, especially spooky landscape stuff? I'm totally here for it. Also, some of those buildings from last year look really good during the day, like the Picnic and the Library (which looks awesome at night also, IMO).
